| a serologic study of california serogroup bunyaviruses in sri lanka. | a seroepidemiologic study of california (cal) serogroup viruses (genus bunyavirus, family bunyaviridae) was carried out on 952 human and 1,834 animal sera collected from different ecological zones of sri lanka (latitudes 5-10 degrees n, longitudes 79-82 degrees e). the sera were screened for neutralizing antibody to lumbo (lum), snowshoe hare (ssh), and trivittatus (tvt) viruses by plaque neutralization tests on vero cells. of 2,786 sera screened, 262 (9.5%) had antibody to one or more viruses t ... | 1991 | 1928574 |
| a newly recognized vesiculovirus, calchaqui virus, and subtypes of melao and maguari viruses from argentina, with serologic evidence for infections of humans and horses. | in 1983, 17 virus strains were isolated from mosquitoes collected during an outbreak of western equine encephalitis in santa fe province, argentina. strains of western equine encephalitis, venezuelan equine encephalitis, st. louis encephalitis, and antequera viruses were isolated, as were several bunyaviruses of the california and bunyamwera serogroups and a new vesiculovirus. complement fixation and neutralization tests were used to identify the california serogroup virus as a subtype of melao ... | 1987 | 2880522 |
| determination and comparative analysis of the small rna genomic sequences of california encephalitis, jamestown canyon, jerry slough, melao, keystone and trivittatus viruses (bunyaviridae, genus bunyavirus, california serogroup). | the nucleotide sequences of the small (s) genomic rnas of six california (cal) serogroup bunyaviruses (bunyaviridae: genus bunyavirus) were determined. the s rnas of two california encephalitis virus strains, two jamestown canyon virus strains, jerry slough virus, melao virus, keystone virus and trivittatus virus contained the overlapping nucleocapsid (n) and non-structural (nss) protein open reading frames (orfs) as described previously for the s rnas of other cal serogroup viruses. all n prote ... | 1995 | 7897347 |
| genetic characterization of orthobunyavirus melao, strains be ar633512 and be ar8033, and experimental infection in golden hamsters (mesocricetus auratus). | melao virus (melv) strains be ar8033 and be ar633512 were isolated from pools of ochlerotatus scapularis mosquitoes in belém, pará state (1955), and alta floresta, rondônia state (2000), brazil, respectively. the aim of the present study was to molecularly characterize these strains and to describe the histopathological, biochemical and immunological changes in golden hamsters (mesocricetus auratus) following intraperitoneal injection of melv strains. hamsters were susceptible to both of the mel ... | 2009 | 19088293 |
