| transmission of an arenavirus in white-throated woodrats (neotoma albigula), southeastern colorado, 1995-1999. | from 1995 to 1999, we conducted longitudinal studies of white- throated woodrats (neotoma albigula) in southeastern colorado. forty-five (42.9%) of 105 female and 15 (26.8%) of 56 male n. albigula had antibodies against whitewater arroyo virus (wwav). sixteen female and three male n. albigula seroconverted during the study period, most of them during july-november, when population densities are highest. analyses of longevity data, minimum numbers alive and infected, movements, and weight data su ... | 2001 | 11384515 |
| diversity among tacaribe serocomplex viruses (family arenaviridae) naturally associated with the mexican woodrat (neotoma mexicana). | the results of analyses of glycoprotein precursor and nucleocapsid protein gene sequences indicated that an arenavirus isolated from a mexican woodrat (neotoma mexicana) captured in arizona is a strain of a novel species (proposed name skinner tank virus) and that arenaviruses isolated from mexican woodrats captured in colorado, new mexico, and utah are strains of whitewater arroyo virus or species phylogenetically closely related to whitewater arroyo virus. pairwise comparisons of glycoprotein ... | 2008 | 18304671 |
