| human infections with tensaw virus in south florida: evidence that tensaw virus subtypes stimulate the production of antibodies reactive with closely related bunyamwera serogroup viruses. | maguari virus, a member of the bunyamwera serogroup (family bunyaviridae, genus bunyavirus) has not been isolated north of trinidad. anecdotal information from other investigators has indicated the presence of antibody to maguari virus in human residents of south florida. we attributed such antibody to either cross-reactivity with tensaw virus, the only bunyamwera serogroup virus known in south florida, or to cross-reactivity to an antigenic subtype or variant of tensaw virus. five strains, iden ... | 1988 | 2899978 |
| tensaw virus genome sequence and its relation to other bunyaviridae. | tensaw virus (tsv) belongs to the genus orthobunyavirus within the bunyaviridae family. although tsv does not cause hemorrhagic fever as some other members of its family, serological studies have shown that serum from florida residents react against tsv indicating viral infection in humans. in this study, the three rna genome segments of a tsv isolated from anopheles crucians mosquitoes collected in north central florida in 2006 and a tsv isolate obtained from the cdc, fort collins, were sequenc ... | 2009 | 19760176 |
| a natural m rna reassortant arising from two species of plant- and insect-infecting bunyaviruses and comparison of its sequence and biological properties to parental species. | reassortment allows multicomponent viruses to exchange genome segments, a process well-documented in the vertebrate- and arthropod-infecting members of the family bunyaviridae but not between distinct species of the plant- and insect-infecting members of the genus tospovirus. genome sequence comparisons of a virus causing severe tospovirus-like symptoms in florida tomato with groundnut ringspot virus (grsv) and tomato chlorotic spot virus (tcsv) demonstrated that reassortment has occurred, with ... | 2011 | 21382631 |
