| Investigation of a potential zoonotic transmission of orthoreovirus associated with acute influenza-like illness in an adult patient. | Bats are increasingly being recognized as important reservoir hosts for a large number of viruses, some of them can be highly virulent when they infect human and livestock animals. Among the new bat zoonotic viruses discovered in recent years, several reoviruses (respiratory enteric orphan viruses) were found to be able to cause acute respiratory infections in humans, which included Melaka and Kampar viruses discovered in Malaysia, all of them belong to the genus Orthoreovirus, family Reoviridae ... | 2011 | 22022394 |
| evolutionary relationship of the l- and m-class genome segments of bat-borne fusogenic orthoreoviruses in malaysia and australia. | we previously described three new malaysian orthoreoviruses designated pulau virus, melaka virus and kampar virus. melaka and kampar viruses were shown to cause respiratory disease in humans. these viruses, together with nelson bay virus, isolated from australian bats, are tentatively classified as different strains within the species pteropine orthoreovirus (prv), formerly known as nelson bay orthoreovirus, based on the small (s) genome segments. here we report the sequences of the large (l) an ... | 2011 | 21849518 |
