| human arthropod-borne virus infections in nigeria. serological and virological investigations and shaki, oyo state. | during the early dry season of 1972, an arbovirus surveillance was carried out is shaki. on hundred and twenty human blood samples and 304 sera were processed for virus isolation and serology respectively. a high prevalence of antibodies to 8 arbovirus antigens was found in the community. percentage of positive sera was as follows: chikungunya (24%) sindbis (19%), yellow fever (55%), dengue (54%), west nile (58%) and wesselsbron (67%). human infections by ilesha virus (35%) and ingwavuma (15%) ... | 1978 | 570581 |
| a survey for ilesha bunyamwera group virus antibodies in sera from domestic animals and humans in three ecological zones of nigeria. | 343 persons, 58 children and 285 adults, from three ecological zones: rainforest, savannah, and plateau were tested for the presence of ilesha virus n antibodies in their sera. neutralization tests were conducted in suckling mice using the constant virus--constant serum technique. 155 subjects (45%) had ilesha immunity: 22 children (38%) and 133 adults (44%). the highest percentage of positive sera was found in the savannah (54%), followed by the plateau and rainforest. a further analysis of the ... | 1975 | 1216686 |
| [human arbovirus infections in burundi: results of a seroepidemiologic survey, 1980-1982]. | a serological survey on 623 human sera was conducted in burundi in 1980-1982, in order to evaluate the frequency of arboviral antibodies in the inhabitants of the three main areas: lowlands, central plateau and mountainous ridge. the results show a rather high activity of arboviruses, mainly in the lowlands (34.2% of inhabitants with antibodies). chikungunya virus seems to be the most active arbovirus; the activity of flavivirus is moderate; no trace of activity of yellow fever or west nile viru ... | 1987 | 3038355 |

| molecular characterization of the african orthobunyavirus ilesha virus. | ilesha virus is an arthropod-borne virus belonging to the genus orthobunyavirus of the bunyaviridae family. ilesha virus has been isolated from humans in several african countries, mostly in relation with febrile illness and erythema, though there are reported cases of fatal meningoencephalitis and hemorrhagic fever. in the present study, we report the complete genomic sequence of all three ilesha virus segments (s, m, l) and characterize the open reading frames. the nucleoprotein encoded by seg ... | 2013 | 23988729 |
| clarifying bunyamwera virus riddles of the past. | pyrosequencing data and phylogenetic analysis for the full genome of ilesha virus, ngari virus and calovo virus are described clarifying their much discussed relationship within the species bunyamwera virus of the genus orthobunyavirus of the bunyaviridae. | 2013 | 23686694 |
