| arbovirus surveillance in florida: wild vertebrate studies 1965-1974. | wildlife species from 38 of florida's 67 counties were surveyed over a 10 year period for the presence of antibody to the five major arboviruses circulating in the state. the routine screening of 7891 sera from wild birds and mammals via the hemagglutination-inhibition (h1) test with selected reactors subjected to serum neutralization testing has 1) provided information regarding geographic distribution and seasonality of circulation of these viruses 2) identified enzootic foci of infection and ... | 1975 | 1152173 |
| human infections with tensaw virus in south florida: evidence that tensaw virus subtypes stimulate the production of antibodies reactive with closely related bunyamwera serogroup viruses. | maguari virus, a member of the bunyamwera serogroup (family bunyaviridae, genus bunyavirus) has not been isolated north of trinidad. anecdotal information from other investigators has indicated the presence of antibody to maguari virus in human residents of south florida. we attributed such antibody to either cross-reactivity with tensaw virus, the only bunyamwera serogroup virus known in south florida, or to cross-reactivity to an antigenic subtype or variant of tensaw virus. five strains, iden ... | 1988 | 2899978 |
| tensaw virus genome sequence and its relation to other bunyaviridae. | tensaw virus (tsv) belongs to the genus orthobunyavirus within the bunyaviridae family. although tsv does not cause hemorrhagic fever as some other members of its family, serological studies have shown that serum from florida residents react against tsv indicating viral infection in humans. in this study, the three rna genome segments of a tsv isolated from anopheles crucians mosquitoes collected in north central florida in 2006 and a tsv isolate obtained from the cdc, fort collins, were sequenc ... | 2009 | 19760176 |
| molecular survey for mosquito-transmitted viruses: detection of tensaw virus in north central florida mosquito populations. | a bunyavirus surveillance was performed in 2,600 pools consisting of 45,728 mosquitoes collected in north-central florida from may 2006 to april 2007. fifteen mosquito pools were found to be virus-positive from the total 2,600 mosquito pools tested (0.6% infection rate), which resulted in a minimum infection rate of 0.33 per 1,000 mosquitoes. sequence data identified the virus to be tensaw virus, a member of the bunyaviridae family. all the virus-positive samples were obtained from pools collect ... | 2014 | 24772680 |
