isolation of jamestown canyon virus from boreal aedes mosquitoes from the sierra nevada of california. | more than 28,000 mosquitoes in four genera were collected from high elevation (greater than or equal to 1,000 m) areas of california during 1988-89 and tested for virus by plaque assay in vero cells. viruses were serogrouped by enzyme immunoassay and serotyped by cross-neutralization. six strains of jamestown canyon virus in the california serogroup were isolated from three species of boreal aedes in the aedes communis group of the subgenus ochlerotatus. all isolates were from mosquitoes collect ... | 1991 | 2035746 |
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 |
isolations of jamestown canyon virus (bunyaviridae: california serogroup) from mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) in the western united states, 1990-1992. | nearly 80,000 immature and adult mosquitoes in three genera were collected in high-elevation (> 1,000 m) areas of california (68,229), nevada (3,721), oregon (5,918), and washington (1,629) during 1990-1992 and tested for virus as adult males or females in 1,799 pools. collections comprised primarily alpine aedes in the aedes communis (de geer) group of the subgenus ochlerotatus. thirteen strains of jamestown canyon (jc) virus were recovered by plaque assay in vero cell culture from three member ... | 1993 | 7903698 |
