| full genome characterization of the culicoides-borne marsupial orbiviruses: wallal virus, mudjinbarry virus and warrego viruses. | viruses belonging to the species wallal virus and warrego virus of the genus orbivirus were identified as causative agents of blindness in marsupials in australia during 1994/5. recent comparisons of nucleotide (nt) and amino acid (aa) sequences have provided a basis for the grouping and classification of orbivirus isolates. however, full-genome sequence data are not available for representatives of all orbivirus species. we report full-genome sequence data for three additional orbiviruses: wall ... | 2014 | 25299687 |
| epidemic of blindness in kangaroos--evidence of a viral aetiology. | to determine the cause of an epidemic of blindness in kangaroos. design and procedures: laboratory examinations were made of eyes and brains of a large number of kangaroos using serological, virological, histopathological, electron microscopical, immunohistochemical methods, and pcr with cdna sequencing. in addition, potential insect viral vectors identified during the disease outbreak were examined for specific viral genomic sequences. | 1999 | 10494400 |
| experimental reproduction of viral chorioretinitis in kangaroos. | to investigate whether preparations containing wallal and/or warrego viruses could cause disease when inoculated subcutaneously into captive kangaroos. | 1999 | 10494399 |
| enhanced arbovirus surveillance with deep sequencing: identification of novel rhabdoviruses and bunyaviruses in australian mosquitoes. | viral metagenomics characterizes known and identifies unknown viruses based on sequence similarities to any previously sequenced viral genomes. a metagenomics approach was used to identify virus sequences in australian mosquitoes causing cytopathic effects in inoculated mammalian cell cultures. sequence comparisons revealed strains of liao ning virus (reovirus, seadornavirus), previously detected only in china, livestock-infecting stretch lagoon virus (reovirus, orbivirus), two novel dimarhabdov ... | 2013 | 24314645 |
| epidemic of blindness in kangaroos - evidence of a viral aetiology. | objective to determine the cause of an epidemic of blindness in kangaroos. design and procedures laboratory examinations were made of eyes and brains of a large number of kangaroos using serological, virological, histopathological, electron microscopical, immunohistochemical methods, and pcr with cdna sequencing. in addition, potential insect viral vectors identified during the disease outbreak were examined for specific viral genomic sequences. sample population for histopathological analysis, ... | 1999 | 28677135 |
