| discovery of a novel alphavirus related to eilat virus. | most alphaviruses are transmitted by arthropods and infect vertebrate hosts. an exception is eilat virus (eilv), the only described alphavirus with a host range restricted to insects. we established a new generic reverse transcription pcr assay for alphaviruses and tested 8,860 tropical mosquitoes. we detected a novel alphavirus, tentatively named taï forest alphavirus (talv), in culex decens mosquitoes collected in côte d'ivoire. the full genome was sequenced and closest similarity was found to ... | 2016 | 28005523 |
