| 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tests to whitneys c. gapperie virus (usa 64-7855) from new york state and was related to, but distinct from, an unpublished agent (johnson's mi ...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 a novel ljungan virus (parechovirus; picornaviridae) reveals a fourth genotype and indicates ancestral recombination. | ljungan virus (lv) was discovered 20 years ago in swedish bank voles (myodes glareolus, previously referred to as clethrionomys glareolus) during the search for an infectious agent causing lethal myocarditis in young athletes. to date, the genomes of four lv isolates, including the prototype 87-012 strain, have been characterized. three of these lv strains were isolated from bank voles trapped in sweden. sequence analysis of an american virus (m1146), isolated from a montane vole (microtus monta ... | 2009 | 19264646 |
