| the isolation of a bwamba virus variant from man in western kenya. | a bwamba group virus was isolated from the blood of a febrile child on the kano plain, kenya. the isolate (ny-45), closely resembling bwamba, established infection in both anopheles gambiae and mansonia uniformis. neither the bwamba nor the pongola prototype strains grew in both species. in gel-diffusion tests ny-45 virus passaged through mosquitoes exhibited a line of identity with pongola antiserum. in contrast no cross-reaction was observed with ny-45 virus which had not previously been passa ... | 1978 | 28377 |
| differentiation of bwamba and pongola viruses by agar-gel diffusion and immunoelectrophoretic techniques. | the agar-gel diffusion (agd) and the immunoelectrophoretic (iep) techniques were employed in the differentiation of virus strains of the bwamba-pongola group. these techniques were found to be more specific than either the complement fixation (cf) or the neutralization (n) test in the differentiation of bwamba and pongola viurses. of 22 virus strains isolated in nigeria and previously typed as strains of bwamba virus by cf and n tests, 12 strains of mosquito origin were definitely classified as ... | 1976 | 820211 |
| arthropod-borne viral infections of man in nigeria, 1964-1970. | during the years 1964 to 1970, 171 arboviruses of 15 different types were isolated from humans in nigeria. isolation rates were highest in 1969, and lowest in 1965 and 1967. monthly arbovirus activity was highest in the rainy season months of june, july and august and lowest in the dry months of january and february. viruses were isolated from all age groups, with the majority from children one to four years old. the viruses isolated in largest numbers were chikungunya and yellow fever, which ca ... | 1975 | 1124969 |

| epidemic o'nyong-nyong fever in southcentral uganda, 1996-1997: entomologic studies in bbaale village, rakai district. | entomologic studies were conducted between january 27 and february 2, 1997, in bbaale village in southcentral uganda during an o'nyong-nyong (onn) virus epidemic, which began in mid 1996 and continued into 1997. the objectives were to confirm the role of anophelines in onn virus transmission and to examine other mosquito species as epidemic vectors of onn virus. of 10,050 mosquitoes collected using light traps and pyrethrum knockdown sprays, anopheles (cellia) funestus giles was presumed to be t ... | 1999 | 10432073 |
| isolations of bwamba virus from south central uganda and north eastern tanzania. | bwamba virus (genus bunyavirus, family bunyaviridae) is widely distributed in africa. it causes many unidentified fevers because of its benign nature. | 2002 | 12789111 |

| molecular characterization of medically important viruses of the genus orthobunyavirus. | we have characterized the full-length s segment rna sequences of five human pathogens of the virus family bunyaviridae, genus orthobunyavirus. s segment sequences of fort sherman, shokwe and xingu viruses of the bunyamwera serogroup, as well as those of bwamba and pongola viruses of the bwamba serogroup, are described. s segment sequences of bwamba and pongola viruses represent the first nucleotide sequences characterized for viruses of the bwamba serogroup. the described molecular and phylogene ... | 2008 | 18796727 |
| molecular characterization of human pathogenic bunyaviruses of the nyando and bwamba/pongola virus groups leads to the genetic identification of mojuí dos campos and kaeng khoi virus. | human infection with bwamba virus (bwav) and the closely related pongola virus (pgav), as well as nyando virus (ndv), are important causes of febrile illness in africa. however, despite seroprevalence studies that indicate high rates of infection in many countries, these viruses remain relatively unknown and unstudied. in addition, a number of unclassified bunyaviruses have been isolated over the years often with uncertain relationships to human disease. | 2014 | 25188437 |
