| characterization of the gamboa virus serogroup (orthobunyavirusgenus, peribunyaviridae family). | comprehensive comparative phylogenetic analyses were performed on 17 gamboa serogroup viruses (gamsvs) from distinct geographic regions in the americas and other representative members of the genusorthobunyavirus(peribunyaviridae), based on small (s), medium (m), and large (l) open reading frame full-length and partial sequences. genome characterization showed that the gamsvs divide into four clades or genotypes. the gamsvs have a genetic organization similar to other orthobunyaviruses, except t ... | 2018 | 29436340 |
| detection of two highly diverse peribunyaviruses in mosquitoes from palenque, mexico. | the peribunyaviridae family contains the genera orthobunyavirus, herbevirus, pacuvirus, and shangavirus. orthobunyaviruses and pacuviruses are mainly transmitted by blood-feeding insects and infect a variety of vertebrates whereas herbeviruses and shangaviruses have a host range restricted to insects. here, we tested mosquitoes from a tropical rainforest in mexico for infections with peribunyaviruses. we identified and characterized two previously unknown viruses, designated baakal virus (bkav) ... | 2019 | 31500304 |
