| characterization of whitney's clethrionomy gapperi virus isolates from massachusetts. | six strains of virus were recovered from the blood and/or liver of five clethrionomys gapperi ochraceus trapped in southeastern massachusetts during 1969. biological, antigenic and physiochemical properties of these isolates are reported. usa m-2268a was selected as the reference strain. this strain was identical by complement-fixation and neutralization tests to whitneys c. gapperie virus (usa 64-7855) from new york state and was related to, but distinct from, an unpublished agent (johnson's mi ... | 1976 | 6801 |
| molecular characterization of m1146, an american isolate of ljungan virus (lv) reveals the presence of a new lv genotype. | ljungan virus (lv) is a suspected human pathogen recently isolated from bank voles in sweden. this study describes the genetic characterization of a virus, m1146, which was isolated in 1962 from another vole species (microtus montanus), trapped in oregon, usa. based on antigenic properties, m1146 was postulated previously as a putative member of the family picornaviridae: the near complete genomic sequence verifies that m1146 is a member of the picornaviridae, most closely related to lvs isolate ... | 2003 | 12655084 |
