[molecular-genetic analysis of the batai virus strains isolated from mosquitoes in volgograd region of the russian federation, west ukraine, and czech republic].partial nucleotide sequence of the m-segment from five batai virus strains was determined. these strains were isolated in volgograd region, west ukraine, and czech republic. our data based on the partial sequence of the m-segment of batai virus strains demonstrated that the strains isolated in russian federation, ukraine, and czech republic grouped together into an european genetic group that was distinct from asian and african strains of batai virus.201020364478
arboviral survey of mosquitoes in two northern italian regions in 2007 and 2008.recently, italy-particularly the emilia-romagna region-was the location of consecutive outbreaks of human diseases caused by the arboviruses chikungunya virus and west nile virus. the two outbreaks, spread by different species of mosquitoes, were not related, but pointed out the lack of an arboviral surveillance program in this region. beginning in 2007 entomological surveillance was initiated in the emilia-romagna region, and in 2008 the program was improved and extended at lombardia region. us ...201020370434
analysis of arbovirus isolates from australia identifies novel bunyaviruses including a mapputta group virus from western australia that links gan gan and maprik viruses.the mapputta group comprises antigenically related viruses indigenous to australia and papua new guinea that are included in the family bunyaviridae but not currently assigned to a specific genus. we determined and analyzed the genome sequences of five australian viruses isolated from mosquitoes collected during routine arbovirus surveillance in western australia (k10441, sw27571, k13190, and k42904) and new south wales (12005). based on matching sequences of all three genome segments to prototy ...201627764175
mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) and their relevance as disease vectors in the city of vienna, austria.mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) are important vectors for a wide range of pathogenic organisms. as large parts of the human population in developed countries live in cities, the occurrence of vector-borne diseases in urban areas is of particular interest for epidemiologists and public health authorities. in this study, we investigated the mosquito occurrence in the city of vienna, austria, in order to estimate the risk of transmission of mosquito-borne diseases. mosquitoes were captured using di ...201425468380
complete genome sequencing of four geographically diverse strains of batai virus.batai virus (batv) is a widely distributed but poorly studied member of the orthobunyavirus genus in the family bunyaviridae and is of particular interest as a known participant in natural reassortment events. both research and surveillance efforts on this and other related viruses have been hampered by the lack of available full-length sequence data covering all three genomic segments. here, we report the complete genome sequence of four batv strains (mm2222, chittoor/ig-20217, ugmp-6830, and m ...023166251
surveillance of batai virus in bovines from germany.to estimate the veterinary importance of batai virus (batv), we investigated the presence of batv-specific antibodies and batv rna in 548 bovines from southwest germany, and we demonstrated that 3 cattle serum samples contained batv-neutralizing antibodies, resulting in a seroprevalence of 0.55%. thus, our results confirm local transmission and indicate cattle as potential hosts of batv in southwest germany.201525878253
complete genome sequencing of mosquito and human isolates of ngari virus.ngari virus (nriv) is a recently described, naturally occurring reassortant between two other orthobunyaviruses, bunyamwera virus (bunv) and batai virus (batv). intriguingly, this reassortment was associated with the acquisition of heightened virulence, although the molecular basis for this is not understood. here we report the first complete genome sequences of ngari virus. we include five isolates from various geographical locations, as well as samples isolated from both mosquitos and human ca ...023166252
serological evidence of batai virus infections, bovines, northern italy, 2011.batai virus (batv) was identified in mosquitoes in the caltignaga region of novarra, northern italy in 2009. here, we report the identification of antibodies to batv in serum samples that were taken from healthy bovines in that region in 2011. batv has been associated with a mild febrile human illness and identified as the likely parental segment donor in a reassortment event that resulted in the generation of the virulent progeny, ngari virus. the possible veterinary disease associations of bat ...201425198523
isolation and complete nucleotide sequence of a batai virus strain in inner mongolia, china.batai virus (batv) is a member of the orthobunyavirus genus of the family bunyaviridae, and a vector-borne pathogen. genomic variations of batv exist in different regions of the world, due to genetic reassortment. whole-genome sequencing of any isolate is necessary for a phylogenetic analysis. in 1998, a batv strain was isolated from an anopheles philippines mosquito in yunnan province, china. this strain has not been found to infect any other host. we investigated batv infection in cattle in in ...201425100223
