| [khurdun virus, a presumably new rna-containing virus associated with coots (fulica atra), isolated in the volga river delta]. | the prototype strain leiv-ast 01-5 of the unclassified enveloped rna-containing khurdun virus, less than 220 nm in size, which is widely distributed among coots (fulica atra) in the volga river delta, was deposited on november 4, 2004, at the state virus collection (svc # 992). the virus was isolated annually (2001-2004) with a frequency of 2.3-8.5% (mean 6.3%) when examining 348 coots caught in the lower and middle zones of the volga river delta. virological examinations used mixed pools of the ... | 2005 | 16104519 |
| [the khurdun virus (khurv): a new representative of the orthobunyavirus (bunyaviridae)]. | unidentified khurdun virus (khurv) was isolated in 2001 from coot (fulica atra, linnaeus, 1758) in the volga river delta (astrakhan region, russian federation). here we report that the khuv genome was de novo sequenced (on illumina platform) and the khurv was classified as a novel prototypic bunyavirus. the khurv genome comprises three negative-sense rna segments (l, m, and s); its terminal nucleotide sequences are canonical for the orthobunyavirus genus. based on the results of the molecular-ge ... | 2016 | 24354059 |
