| mosquito feeding-induced enhancement of cache valley virus (bunyaviridae) infection in mice. | cache-valley (cv) virus, an arthropod-borne bunyavirus, recently has emerged as a significant veterinary pathogen causing infertility and congenital malformations in north american ruminants. to investigate the role of vector feeding on cv infection, adult mice were injected subcutaneously with cv, cv and vector thorax extract (a source of vector saliva), or cv into the site of intense, noninfected-mosquito feeding. mice did not become infected after injection of cv or cv and vector saliva, nor ... | 1998 | 9615544 |
| isolation of la crosse, cache valley, and potosi viruses from aedes mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) collected at used-tire sites in illinois during 1994-1995. | prospective studies were conducted at used-tire sites in illinois during 1994-1995 in an effort to isolate arboviruses from mosquitoes, particularly aedes albopictus (skuse) and aedes triseriatus (say). three isolates of potosi virus were obtained from ae. albopictus collected at a waste tire site in jasper county during 1994 and 1995. also, a single isolate of cache valley virus was obtained from ae. albopictus collected at the jasper county site during 1995. these are the first records of arbo ... | 1998 | 9701947 |
| vector competence of virginia mosquitoes for zika and cache valley viruses. | vector-borne diseases are a major public health concern and cause significant morbidity and mortality. zika virus (zikv) is the etiologic agent of a massive outbreak in the americas that originated in brazil in 2015 and shows a strong association with congenital zikv syndrome in newborns. cache valley virus (cvv) is a bunyavirus that causes mild to severe illness in humans and ruminants. in this study, we investigated the vector competence of virginia mosquitoes for zikv and cvv to explore their ... | 2020 | 32276649 |
