| [a lyssavirus with an unusual antigenic structure isolated from a bat in southern kyrgyzstan]. | examination of 191 specimens of chiroptera in osh province of kyrgyzstan yielded 1 strain of lyssavirus from myotis blythi, the isolate not belonging to serotype 1. the virus was designated aravan by the area of its isolation. its antigenic structure was studied using antinucleocapsid monoclonal antibodies of the wistar institute (philadelphia, isa) and central veterinary laboratory of great britain (waybridge, great britain). the paper presents its antigenic profile, brief characteristics of si ... | 1992 | 1290226 |
| new lyssavirus genotype from the lesser mouse-eared bat (myotis blythi), kyrghyzstan. | the aravan virus was isolated from a lesser mouse-eared bat (myotis blythi) in the osh region of kyrghyzstan, central asia, in 1991. we determined the complete sequence of the nucleoprotein (n) gene and compared it with those of 26 representative lyssaviruses obtained from databases. the aravan virus was distinguished from seven distinct genotypes on the basis of nucleotide and amino acid identity. phylogenetic analysis based on both nucleotide and amino acid sequences showed that the aravan vir ... | 2003 | 12643828 |
