| vectors vs. humans in australia--who is on top down under? an update on vector-borne disease and research on vectors in australia. | australia has a diversity of vectors and vector-borne human diseases. mosquito-borne arboviruses are of greatest concern, but there are issues with other vector and pathogen systems. mosquitoes were responsible for more than 35,000 cases of ross river virus during 1991-1997. barmah forest virus is increasing nationwide, and unidentified bunyaviruses suspected of causing illness have been isolated. cases of murray valley encephalitis have occurred in 14 of the past 20 years in northern australia. ... | 1998 | 9673928 |
| genomic and phylogenetic characterization of leanyer virus, a novel orthobunyavirus isolated in northern australia. | leanyer virus (leav), currently classified as a member of the genus orthobunyavirus, in the family bunyaviridae, was originally isolated from a pool of anopheles meraukensis mosquitoes, collected at leanyer, northern territory, australia in 1974. when it failed to react in serological tests with antisera from other known viruses, full-length genomic sequencing was pursued to determine the relationship of leav to other orthobunyavirus species. genetic and serological characterization confirmed it ... | 2011 | 21402599 |
