| isolations of potosi virus from mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) collected in connecticut. | potosi virus (potv) (bunyaviridae: orthobunyavirus) was first isolated from aedes albopictus (skuse) collected in potosi, mo, in 1989, and subsequent isolations were reported from illinois, michigan, ohio, and the carolinas. to determine whether the distribution of this virus extends into the northeastern united states, we analyzed arboviruses acquired from mosquitoes collected in connecticut from 1998 to 2004. in 2001, a bunyavirus was isolated from aedes vexans (meigen) that was different from ... | 2005 | 16363172 |
| genetic relationships of jamestown canyon virus strains infecting mosquitoes collected in connecticut. | jamestown canyon virus (jcv) (family bunyaviridae, genus orthobunyavirus) is maintained in a mosquito-deer cycle and has been implicated in the etiology of meningitis and encephalitis with human cases reported from ontario, canada, michigan, connecticut, and new york. despite the recognition of symptomatic cases in the northeastern united states, little is known about the genetic relationships of jcv variants circulating in this region. accordingly, we compared the phylogenetic relationships of ... | 2007 | 18165540 |
