| monoclonal antibody characterization of jamestown canyon (california serogroup) virus topotypes isolated in canada. | jamestown canyon (jc) virus of the california (cal) serogroup has been isolated in 12 american states and 6 canadian provinces. a study was undertaken to produce monoclonal antibodies (mabs) to jc virus and to use these mabs to assay for possible heterogeneity among naturally occurring jc topotypes in canada. mabs were produced to the prototype strain of jc virus using balb/c mice. twenty-seven secreting mabs were obtained and three of these mabs were propagated and studied. all three mabs, m1 ( ... | 1992 | 1418321 |
| the s rna genomic sequences of inkoo, san angelo, serra do navio, south river and tahyna bunyaviruses. | the complete nucleotide sequences of the small (s) genomic rna segments of five california (cal) serogroup bunyaviruses (two inkoo virus strains, san angelo virus, serra do navio virus, south river virus and tahyna virus) were determined. in agreement with previously published data concerning cal serogroup viruses, the nucleocapsid (n) and non-structural (nss) proteins were encoded in over-lapping open reading frames (orfs). all n protein orfs were 708 nucleotides in length and encoded a 235 ami ... | 1996 | 8760423 |
| detection of flaviviruses and orthobunyaviruses in mosquitoes in the yucatan peninsula of mexico in 2008. | a total of 191,244 mosquitoes from 24 species were collected in the yucatan peninsula of mexico from january to december 2008, and tested for the presence of cytopathic virus by virus isolation in vero cells. eighteen virus isolates were obtained, all of which were orthobunyaviruses. these were identified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) and nucleotide sequencing as cache valley virus (n=17) and south river virus (n=1). a subset (n=20,124) of culex quinquefasciatus col ... | 2010 | 20370430 |
| identification of a novel subtype of south river virus (family bunyaviridae). | we previously reported the isolation of south river virus (sorv) from a pool of mosquitoes collected in the yucatan peninsula of mexico (farfan-ale et al. in vector borne zoonotic dis 10:777-783, 5). the isolate (designated sorv-252) was identified as sorv after a 197-nucleotide region of its small rna genome segment was sequenced. in the present study, the complete small and medium rna genome segments and part of the large rna genome segment of sorv-252 were sequenced and shown to have 92%, 85% ... | 2012 | 22411100 |
| orthobunyaviruses, a common cause of infection of livestock in the yucatan peninsula of mexico. | to determine the seroprevalence of selected orthobunyaviruses in livestock in the yucatan peninsula of mexico, a serologic investigation was performed using serum samples from 256 domestic animals (182 horses, 31 sheep, 1 dog, 37 chickens, and 5 turkeys). all serum samples were examined by plaque reduction neutralization test using cache valley virus (cvv), cholul virus (chlv), south river virus (sourv), kairi virus, maguari virus, and wyeomyia virus. of the 182 horses, 60 (33.0%) were seroposit ... | 2012 | 23045250 |
