mosquitoes of western yunnan province, china: seasonal abundance, diversity, and arbovirus associations. | the western borderland between yunnan province, china, and myanmar is characterized by a climate that facilitates year-round production of mosquitoes. numerous mosquito-transmitted viruses, including japanese encephalitis virus circulate in this area. this project was to describe seasonal patterns in mosquito species abundance and arbovirus activity in the mosquito populations. | 2013 | 24146951 |
isolation and characterization of oya virus a member of simbu serogroup, family bunyaviridae, isolated from karnataka, india. | during a study on japanese encephalitis (je) from kolar district of karnataka state, india in 1986; two virus isolates were obtained in infant swiss albino mouse from a pig and a human serum sample. for characterization of these virus isolates, they were propagated in vero ccl-81 cells. these virus isolates were screened for flaviviruses (japanese encephalitis, west nile, dengue, kyasanur forest disease) and alphavirus (chikungunya) by rt-pcr and found to be negative. further these they were scr ... | 2016 | 27374486 |
isolation of arboviruses from mosquitoes collected in northern vietnam. | in response to recent increases in cases of pediatric encephalitis with unknown etiology in northern vietnam, surveillance for arbovirus activity was conducted in four provinces surrounding the city of hanoi during june 2002 and july-august 2004. a total of 20,615 mosquitoes consisting of 19 species in 1,122 pools were processed for virus isolation; virus isolates were obtained from 44 pools. sagiyama virus (11 isolates), getah virus (15 isolates), oya virus (13 isolates), and akabane virus (4 i ... | 2005 | 16103625 |
characterization and identification of oya virus, a simbu serogroup virus of the genus bunyavirus, isolated from a pig suspected of nipah virus infection. | a virus, named oya virus, was isolated in vero cell cultures from the lungs of a pig suspected of nipah virus infection. the virus was revealed as a spherical enveloped rna virus with a diameter of 79 nm. for identification of oya virus, rt-pcr was performed. a common primer set for s-rna of the simbu serogroup of the genus bunyavirus was able to amplify a cdna from oya virus rna. the sequence data of the product revealed that the partial gene of oya virus s-rna segment had 65-70% homology with ... | 2002 | 12181680 |
