| peruvian horse sickness virus and yunnan orbivirus, isolated from vertebrates and mosquitoes in peru and australia. | during 1997, two new viruses were isolated from outbreaks of disease that occurred in horses, donkeys, cattle and sheep in peru. genome characterization showed that the virus isolated from horses (with neurological disorders, 78% fatality) belongs to a new species the peruvian horse sickness virus (phsv), within the genus orbivirus, family reoviridae. this represents the first isolation of phsv, which was subsequently also isolated during 1999, from diseased horses in the northern territory of a ... | 2009 | 19766284 |
| confirmation of elsey virus infection in a queensland horse with mild neurologic signs. | in 2011, a 2-year-old horse in northern queensland, australia, was reported to have developed mild neurologic signs, and a blood sample was submitted for laboratory investigation. virus isolation was performed using the blood sample, and an orbivirus was isolated. this was confirmed to be a strain of elsey virus (elsv) after transmission electron microscopy and nucleotide sequencing. the nucleotide sequence was compared with those in genbank, and had 100% identity with elsv previously reported f ... | 2016 | 27240568 |
