| european brown hare syndrome in free-ranging european brown and mountain hares from switzerland. | from 1997 to 2000, complete necropsy and histopathologic investigations were performed on 157 free-ranging european brown hares (lepus europaeus) found dead throughout switzerland. organ samples of all these individuals (157 livers and 107 spleens available) were tested for european brown hare syndrome virus (ebhsv)-antigen by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) test kit. furthermore, 60 additional blood samples were tested for antibodies against ebhsv by elisa. in addition, liver samples ... | 2001 | 11763744 |
| molecular evolution and antigenic variation of european brown hare syndrome virus (ebhsv). | european brown hare syndrome virus (ebhsv) is the aetiological agent of european brown hare syndrome (ebhs), a disease affecting lepus europaeus and lepus timidus first diagnosed in sweden in 1980. to characterize ebhsv evolution we studied hare samples collected in sweden between 1982 and 2008. our molecular clock dating is compatible with ebhsv emergence in the 1970s. phylogenetic analysis revealed two lineages: group a persisted until 1989 when it apparently suffered extinction; group b emerg ... | 2014 | 25155199 |
| complete coding sequences of european brown hare syndrome virus (ebhsv) strains isolated in 1982 in sweden. | european brown hare syndrome (ebhs) is characterised by high mortality of european brown hares (lepus europaeus) and mountain hares (lepus timidus). european brown hare syndrome virus (ebhsv) and the closely related rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (rhdv) comprise the genus lagovirus, family caliciviridae. in contrast to rhdv, which is well studied, with more than 30 complete genome sequences available, the only complete genome sequence available for ebhsv was obtained from a strain isolated in ... | 2013 | 23640583 |
| host and viral traits predict zoonotic spillover from mammals. | the majority of human emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic, with viruses that originate in wild mammals of particular concern (for example, hiv, ebola and sars). understanding patterns of viral diversity in wildlife and determinants of successful cross-species transmission, or spillover, are therefore key goals for pandemic surveillance programs. however, few analytical tools exist to identify which host species are likely to harbour the next human virus, or which viruses can cross species ... | 2017 | 28636590 |
