| antigenic characterization of new lineage ii insect-specific flaviviruses in australian mosquitoes and identification of host restriction factors. | we describe two new insect-specific flaviviruses (isfs) isolated from mosquitoes in australia, binjari virus (binjv) and hidden valley virus (hvv), that grow efficiently in mosquito cells but fail to replicate in a range of vertebrate cell lines. phylogenetic analysis revealed that binjv and hvv were closely related (90% amino acid sequence identity) and clustered with lineage ii (dual-host affiliated) isfs, including the lammi and nounané viruses. using a panel of monoclonal antibodies prepared ... | 2020 | 32554715 |
| larval survey of surface water-breeding mosquitoes during irrigation development in the mahaweli project, sri lanka. | a survey of ground water-breeding mosquitoes was done during 1986-1987 in an area undergoing irrigation development in the mahaweli project of sri lanka. forty-nine species were collected during the 12-mo phase of humans settlement and infrastructure construction, and 42 species during the succeeding 12-mo period under irrigated rice culture. development resulted in the elimination of some preexisting breeding habitats, the modification of others, and the creation of new habits. the overall chan ... | 1990 | 1977912 |
