| jatobal virus is a reassortant containing the small rna of oropouche virus. | jatobal (jat) virus was isolated in 1985 from a carnivore (nasua nasua) in tucuruí, pará state, brazil and was classified as a distinct member of the simbu serogroup of the bunyavirus genus, family bunyaviridae on the basis of neutralization tests. on the basis of nucleotide sequencing, we have found that the small (s) rna of jat virus is very similar (>95% identity) to that of oropouche (oro) virus, in particular, the peruvian genotype of oro virus. in comparison, limited nucleotide sequencing ... | 2001 | 11451484 |
| oropouche virus experimental infection in the golden hamster (mesocrisetus auratus). | oropouche virus (orov), of the family bunyaviridae, is the second most frequent arbovirus causing febrile disease in brazil. in spite of this, little is known about pathogenesis of orov infection. this report describes an experimental model of orov in golden hamster (mesocricetus auratus). following subcutaneous inoculation of orov, over 50% of the animals developed disease characterized by lethargy, ruffled fur, shivering, paralysis, and approximately one third died. animals were sacrificed on ... | 2011 | 20727376 |
| detection of arboviruses of public health interest in free-living new world primates (sapajus spp.; alouatta caraya) captured in mato grosso do sul, brazil. | a sero-epidemiological survey was undertaken to detect the circulation of arboviruses in free-living non-human primates. | 2014 | 24474008 |
| detection of antibodies to oropouche virus in non-human primates in goiânia city, goiás. | arboviruses are associated with human disease, and non-human primates (nhps) are important primary hosts. this study shows the detection of antibodies to oropouche virus (orov) in nhps either living in urban parks or acclimatized at the wild animal screening center, goiânia city. | 2017 | 27384834 |
| isolation of madre de dios virus (orthobunyavirus; bunyaviridae), an oropouche virus species reassortant, from a monkey in venezuela. | oropouche virus (orov), genus orthobunyavirus, family bunyaviridae, is an important cause of human illness in tropical south america. herein, we report the isolation, complete genome sequence, genetic characterization, and phylogenetic analysis of an orov species reassortant, madre de dios virus (mddv), obtained from a sick monkey (cebus olivaceus schomburgk) collected in a forest near atapirire, a small rural village located in anzoategui state, venezuela. mddv is one of a growing number of nat ... | 2016 | 27215299 |
