| isolation of bhanja virus from ticks in yugoslavia. | two strains of bhanja (bha) virus, an ungrouped arbovirus, were isolated from haemaphysalis punctata ticks collected from sheep on the island of brac in the yugoslavian adriatic. serologic testing gave evidence of the endemicity of bha virus on the island, and antibody prevalence rates were high for both man (35.8%--ranging locally to 61.3%) and sheep (100%). no antibody was found in 82 small mammals tested. evidence of a natural cycle involving ticks and sheep, the potential significance of thi ... | 1977 | 907037 |
| numerical comparative serology of the bhanja antigenic group (bunyaviridae). | antigenic relationships between the two known members of the bhanja serogroup (bhanja virus, 7 strains; kismayo virus, two strains) were studied by a plaque-reduction cross-neutralization test in vero cells, using hyperimmune mouse sera. the results were then subjected to a cluster analysis, which showed (in the form of a dendrogram) a considerable antigenic difference between the two viruses. within bhanja virus, the european isolates from haemaphysalis punctata or h. sulcata ticks were antigen ... | 1985 | 2581527 |
| incidence of hemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies for bhanja virus in humans along the north-west border of yugoslavia. | by the hemagglutination-inhibition test with the yugoslav strain of bhanja virus, the sera of 380 youngsters residing in the region along the yugoslav-hungarian border (north croatia) and 367 sera from newcomers to the area from various parts of yugoslavia were examined. the testing included 154 sera of the youngsters who had came to the region along the yugoslav-italian border (slovenia) without antibodies for bhanja virus and were staying there for a year. hemagglutination-inhibiting antibodie ... | 1987 | 3118594 |
| a serological survey for bhanja and tick-borne encephalitis viruses in sheep of eastern slovakia. | 755 sheep from 41 farms in the districts of trebisov, michalovce, humenné and roznava in the east slovakian region were investigated on the presence of antibodies to bhanja (neutralization test) and tick-borne encephalitis (haemagglutination-inhibition test) viruses. in respective districts 2.2%, 0.4%, 1.7% and 26.7% of animals (total 5.3%) were found to be positive on bhanja virus, 4.4%, 1.5%, 1.7% and 5.0% (total 2.6%) on tick-borne encephalitis (tbe) virus. the considerable infection rate in ... | 1985 | 3930351 |
| a serological survey for bhanja virus in czechoslovakia. | sera of 259 persons, 801 sheep, 54 goats and 60 cows from several regions of czechoslovakia were examined by tube-neutralization test (tnt) and haemagglutination-inhibition test (hit) for antibodies against bhanja virus. the results of both assays correlated well, but tnt was a more sensitive test than hit. antibodies neutralizing bhanja virus were detected in 2.7% of persons, 5.1% of sheep, 18.5% of goats and 16.7% of cattle, most frequently in the district roznava (eastern slovakia), where 38. ... | 1984 | 6534039 |
| detection of human bhanja virus-specific antibodies in czechoslovakia. | blood sera from 185 czechoslovak citizens, residents of south-moravia (znojmo district: 107, breclav district: 13) and east-slovakia (roznava district: 65) regions, were examined for the presence of neutralizing antibodies to bhanja arbovirus, using ps and vero cell lines, constant dose of virus and serial serum dilutions. specific antibody titres greater than or equal to 1:10 were detected in the sera of 10 persons (i.e. 5.4% of all examined), of which 5 men and 4 women were from district of ro ... | 1982 | 7119432 |
| biogeography of tick-borne bhanja virus (bunyaviridae) in europe. | bhanja virus (bhav) is pathogenic for young domestic ruminants and also for humans, causing fever and affections of the central nervous system. this generally neglected arbovirus of the family bunyaviridae is transmitted by metastriate ticks of the genera haemaphysalis, dermacentor, hyalomma, rhipicephalus, boophilus, and amblyomma. geographic distribution of bhav covers southern and central asia, africa, and southern (partially also central) europe. comparative biogeographic study of eight know ... | 2010 | 20182535 |
