| the genome segments of dprv, a commensal reovirus of the wasp diadromus pulchellus (hymenoptera). | the complete nucleotide sequences of the five double-stranded rna genome segments of the diadromus pulchellus reovirus (dprv) have been determined. they consist of 985, 1240, 1318, 1652, and 4230 bp. each segment contains at least one putative open reading frame encoding 33-, 40-, 45-, 49-, and 148-kda proteins, respectively. the proteins have no significant similarities with sequences in data banks. analysis of these segments and of two other previously published segments revealed the presence ... | 1995 | 7793063 |
| a member of the reoviridae (dprv) has a ploidy-specific genomic segment in the wasp diadromus pulchellus (hymenoptera). | wild and laboratory populations of the parasitoid wasp diadromus pulchellus are infected with a new member of the reoviridae (dprv) described in this paper. the particles of this virus possess two capsid shells (diameters: 35 and 70 nm) made up of 11 proteins. the virus is present mainly in the gut of the wasp, with smaller quantities in its venom gland. the genome of virus particles purified from haploid insects (functional males) contains 10 segments, whereas virus from diploid insects (female ... | 1994 | 7975219 |
| detection of virus infection-associated antigen and 3d antibodies in cattle vaccinated against foot and mouth disease. | the analysis of sera obtained from animals vaccinated or revaccinated with inactivated vaccines against foot and mouth disease (fmd) virus showed that these vaccines induced antibodies against the virus infection-associated (via) antigen, detectable by agar gel immunodiffusion (agid). the present study evaluates the antibody response to protein 3d and the via antigen (viaa) of fmd virus induced by different vaccines in a group of 51 calves. this response was detected using agid and a liquid-phas ... | 1997 | 9567309 |
| commensal and mutualistic relationships of reoviruses with their parasitoid wasp hosts. | during evolution, certain endoparasitoid wasps have developed mechanisms to suppress the defence systems of their hosts. for this purpose, these species, all of which belong to the families ichneumonidae and braconidae, inject various kinds of virus-like particles. the most studied of these particles are classified as polydnaviruses (family polydnaviridae) which are symbiotic viruses. over the past decade, it has also been shown that several wasp species harbour reoviruses (family reoviridae), a ... | 2005 | 15749099 |
| sequence analysis of a reovirus isolated from the winter moth operophtera brumata (lepidoptera: geometridae) and its parasitoid wasp phobocampe tempestiva (hymenoptera: ichneumonidae). | a reovirus was isolated from operophtera brumata (obrv) and its parasitoid wasp phobocampe tempestiva. each of the 10 dsrna genome segments of obrv was sequenced and shown to contain a single open reading frame (orf). conserved motifs ([+ve] 5'-aaataaa ...(g)/(t)aggtt-3') were found at the termini of each segment, with the exception of seg-6 and seg-8, where the 5' termini were 5'-aacaaa...-3'. the putative proteins encoded by each segment were compared with those of other members of the family ... | 2008 | 18405997 |
