roles of host species, geographic separation, and isolation in the seroprevalence of jamestown canyon and snowshoe hare viruses in newfoundland. | california serogroup viruses, including jamestown canyon virus (jcv) and snowshoe hare virus (sshv), are mosquito-borne members of the bunyaviridae family and are endemic across north america. these arboviruses are potential pathogens which occasionally cause neuroinvasive disease in humans and livestock. a neutralization assay was used to document jcv and sshv seroprevalence using blood collected from a variety of domestic and wildlife host species. these species were sampled in an island setti ... | 2012 | 22798366 |
the seasonal timing of snowshoe hare virus transmission on the island of newfoundland, canada. | arthropod-borne diseases negatively affect humans worldwide. understanding the biology of the arthropod vectors and the pathogens they harbor, the arthropods are moving targets as a result of climate change, ecosystem degradation, species introductions, and increased human travel. viruses within the california serogroup of the genus orthobunyavirus (family bunyaviridae) are among the mosquito-borne viruses of concern owing to their zoonotic potential. two of these, snowshoe hare virus (sshv) and ... | 2017 | 28069630 |
