| serologic evidence of jamestown canyon virus infection in white-tailed deer populations from connecticut. | we determined the prevalence and distribution of jamestown canyon (jc) virus antibody in white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) populations in connecticut, usa. sera were collected from hunter-killed deer during 1993. antibody to jc virus was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) in 92 (21%) of 446 deer sera, and was uniformly distributed among geographic sites. twenty-one elisa-positive sera were tested and confirmed positive by plaque reduction neutralization testing. this ... | 1997 | 9249710 |

| 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 |
| isolations of jamestown canyon virus (bunyaviridae: orthobunyavirus) from field-collected mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) in connecticut, usa: a ten-year analysis, 1997-2006. | jamestown canyon virus (jcv) (bunyaviridae: orthobunyavirus) is a mosquito-borne zoonosis belonging to the california serogroup. it has a wide geographic distribution, occurring throughout much of temperate north america. white-tailed deer, odocoileus virginianus are the principal amplification hosts, and boreal aedes and ochlerotatus mosquitoes are the primary vectors. a 10-year study was undertaken to identify potential mosquito vectors in connecticut, quantify seasonal prevalence rates of inf ... | 2008 | 18386967 |
