| emergence of a new lineage of cache valley virus (bunyaviridae: orthobunyavirus) in the northeastern united states. | cache valley virus (cvv; family bunyavidae, genus orthobunyavirus) is a mosquito-borne zoonosis that frequently infects humans and livestock in north and central america. in the northeastern united states, cvv transmission is unpredictable from year-to-year and may derive from the periodic extinction and reintroduction of new virus strains into this region. to evaluate this possibility, we sequenced and analyzed numerous cvv isolates sampled in connecticut during an 18-year period to determine h ... | 2015 | 25962774 |
| spatial-temporal analysis of cache valley virus (bunyaviridae: orthobunyavirus) infection in anopheline and culicine mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) in the northeastern united states, 1997-2012. | cache valley virus (cvv) is a mosquito-borne bunyavirus (family bunyaviridae, genus orthobunyavirus) that is enzootic throughout much of north and central america. white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) have been incriminated as important reservoir and amplification hosts. cvv has been found in a diverse array of mosquito species, but the principal vectors are unknown. a 16-year study was undertaken to identify the primary mosquito vectors in connecticut, quantify seasonal prevalence rates o ... | 0 | 25325321 |
| northern range expansion of the asian tiger mosquito (aedes albopictus): analysis of mosquito data from connecticut, usa. | the asian tiger mosquito (aedes albopictus) is an invasive species and important arbovirus vector that was introduced into the u.s. in the 1980's where it continues to expand its range. winter temperature is an important constraint to its northward expansion, with potential range limits located between the 0° and -5°c mean cold month isotherm. connecticut is located within this climatic zone and therefore, ae. albopictus was monitored statewide to assess its northern range expansion and to delin ... | 2017 | 28545111 |
