experimental infection of vertebrates of the pocomoke cypress swamp, maryland with keystone and jamestown canyon viruses. | experimental studies were conducted to assess the susceptibility of white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus), gray squirrels (sciurus carolinensis), and cottontail rabbits (sylvilagus floridanus) to jamestown canyon (jc) and/or keystone (key) virus infection. viremia occurred in 5 of 6 deer inoculated with jc virus; however, all deer developed key virus neutralizing antibody. based on the observation that antibody elicited by primary infection of deer with either key or jc virus exhibited part ... | 1979 | 453437 |
natural transmission of keystone virus to sentinel rabbits on the delmarva peninsula. | domestic rabbits were exposed in the pocomoke cypress swamp from early may through october 1973, to act as sentinel indicators of keystone (key) virus transmission on the delaware-maryland-virginia (delmarva) peninsula. rabbits were bled weekly and their sera were tested for the presence of neutralizing antibody to both key and james-town canyon (jc) viruses. adult mosquito activity was monitored concurrently by cdc miniature light traps with dry ice. of 100 rabbits exposed, 20 rabbits acquired ... | 1978 | 717629 |

serologic evidence of jamestown canyon and keystone virus infection in vertebrates of the delmarva peninsula. | serological data accumulated during the past decade indicated that a variety of feral and domestic animals of the delaware-maryland-virginia (delmarva) peninsula were infected with jamestown canyon (jc) and/or keystone (key) viruses (bunyaviridae, california serogroup). neutralizing (n) antibody to jc virus was most prevalent in white-tailed deer, sika deer, cottontail rabbits and horses. key virus n antibody was detected most frequently in gray squirrels and domestic goats. n antibody indicativ ... | 1982 | 7149110 |
