| mosquito-borne arboviruses in arctic america. | mosquito-borne arboviruses are prevalent throughout subarctic regions of canada and alaska, principally in the boreal forest extending between latitudes 53 and 66 degrees n, but they have been identified in tundra regions as far north as 70 degrees n. all mosquito-borne agents have been bunyaviruses, comprising principally the snowshoe hare subtype of california encephalitis (ce) virus, but also northway virus. mosquito vectors comprise several aedes species and culiseta inornata, all of which h ... | 1975 | 1602 |
| a comparison of la crosse virus isolated obtained from different ecological niches and an analysis of the structural components of california encephalitis serogroup viruses and other bunyaviruses. | analyses of the oligonucleotide fingerprints of the three genome ribonucleic acid (rna) species of 11 isolates of la crosse (lac) virus, obtained from various ecological niches in the northern united states and compared to those of prototype lac virus, showed that in each place from which these isolates were obtained lac variants and varieties were present with related, but distinguishable, nucleotide sequences for their large, medium, or small rna species. the rna genomes of prototypes trivitta ... | 1979 | 453439 |
| seroepidemiology of california and bunyamwera serogroup bunyavirus infections in humans in california. | several human populations in california were surveyed cross-sectionally and longitudinally for neutralizing antibodies to selected arthropod-borne bunyaviruses in the california and bunyamwera serogroups. overall, the prevalence of antibodies to california serogroup viruses was 6.4% in 702 individuals sampled during 1963-1988. comparative antibody titers in individual sera indicated that 4.1% and 1.6% of these infections were caused by viruses similar or identical to jamestown canyon and califor ... | 1992 | 1357960 |
| isolation of northway serotype and other bunyamwera serogroup bunyaviruses from california and oregon mosquitoes, 1969-1985. | eight previously untyped bunyamwera serogroup bunyaviruses that had been isolated from mosquitoes collected in california and oregon between 1969 and 1985, were identified by cross-neutralization tests. four viruses from anopheles freeborni and a virus from aedes sierrensis collected in butte county in the central valley of california in 1970-71 were shown to belong to the northway serotype. the existence of a northway serotype virus in california had been inferred from previous serologic survey ... | 1991 | 1677543 |

| distribution of neutralizing antibodies to california and bunyamwera serogroup viruses in horses and rodents in california. | neutralization tests were done on sera from 141 horses from high elevation regions of california. antibody prevalences to jamestown canyon, snowshoe hare, and california encephalitis viruses in the california serogroup and northway virus in the bunyamwera serogroup were 55%, 43%, 18%, and 46%, respectively. in 51 horses from rural low elevation regions, seroprevalences were 31%, 35%, 35%, and 37%, respectively. twenty-four horses from a suburban lowland area were seronegative, except for a singl ... | 1990 | 2107770 |
| prevalence of neutralizing antibodies against california and bunyamwera serogroup viruses in deer from mountainous areas of california. | plaque reduction-serum dilution neutralization was used to evaluate the status of bunyavirus activity in deer in mountainous areas of california. antibodies against 9 bunyaviruses were measured in 337 mule deer (odocoileus hemionus hemionus, o. hemionus californicus, and o. hemionus inyoensis) and black-tailed deer (o. hemionus columbianus). more deer from high mountainous areas had neutralizing antibodies against jamestown canyon virus than did deer from low mountainous areas (23% vs. 9%; p les ... | 1989 | 2496610 |
| serologic evidence of arboviral infections in white-tailed deer from central wisconsin. | a survey conducted during 1979-1980 on white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) in central wisconsin revealed serological evidence of infection by selected arboviruses. among sera from 41 deer, antibody was detected for jamestown canyon virus (56%) and bunyamwera group virus (80%), demonstrating their continuing endemic activity. antibody for la crosse virus, not found previously in sera from deer in central wisconsin, also was detected (5%) in this study. | 1989 | 2716117 |
| serological evidence of california serogroup virus activity in oregon. | we wished to demonstrate evidence of the presence of california serogroup viruses in oregon and to test for the presence of certain other arboviruses in large ungulates. blood samples from black-tailed deer (odocoileus hemionus columbianus), mule deer (o. hemionus hemionus), and roosevelt elk (cervus elaphus roosevelti) from nine counties in oregon were tested by serum-dilution plaque reduction neutralization for antibody to california serogroup viruses, including snowshoe hare, california encep ... | 1987 | 3586196 |
| isolation of cache valley virus and detection of antibody for selected arboviruses in michigan horses in 1980. | blood samples collected in september and november 1980 from 87 horses in southwestern michigan were examined for virus isolation and for plaque-reduction neutralizing antibody against selected arboviruses. cache valley virus was isolated from the blood of a clinically normal horse in st joseph county in september. the age-specific antibody prevalence for cache valley virus indicated enzootic transmission in the study area. the high antibody prevalence and the lack of age-specific antibody preval ... | 1987 | 3631684 |
| la crosse encephalitis: occurrence of disease and control in a suburban area. | fifteen (6.4%) of 233 residents sampled in state road coulee (src) during 1972-73 had antibodies neutralizing la crosse (lac) virus, 9 (3.9%) trivittatus (tvt), 12 (5.2%) jamestown canyon (jc) and 2 (0.9%) bunyamwera serogroup virus. six of seven youths who had antibodies to lac virus had been ill: three were serologically confirmed as cases of lac encephalitis and three had possibly related illnesses. the other reported no illness. possibly related illnesses were reported by 1 of 10 adults with ... | 1983 | 6867036 |
| seroepidemiology of california and bunyamwera serogroup (bunyaviridae) virus infections in native populations of alaska. | this study investigated the geographic distribution and prevalence of antibodies to california and bunyamwera serogroup viruses in native populations of alaska, and demographic and ecologic risk factors associated with exposure. sera (n = 1,635) from 18 communities were screened using an elisa. all age groups were tested for antibodies to jamestown canyon (jc), inkoo (ink), snowshoe hare (ssh), and northway (nor) viruses; persons > or = 45 years old (n = 90) from six communities were additionall ... | 1999 | 10344657 |
| detection of arboviral rna directly from mosquito homogenates by reverse-transcription-polymerase chain reaction. | many arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are important human pathogens medically. the development of an effective technique to detect the viruses by using nucleic acid amplification, such as polymerase chain reaction (pcr), improves not only clinical diagnosis but also virologic surveillance of mosquito vectors in the field. in this study, the development of an improved and simplified assay is described for detection of mosquitoes infected with eastern equine encephalitis (eee) virus, cache va ... | 2001 | 11337046 |
| 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 |
