| human, nonhuman primate, and bat cells are broadly susceptible to tibrovirus particle cell entry. | in 2012, the genome of a novel rhabdovirus, bas-congo virus (basv), was discovered in the acute-phase serum of a congolese patient with presumed viral hemorrhagic fever. in the absence of a replicating virus isolate, fulfilling koch's postulates to determine whether basv is indeed a human virus and/or pathogen has been impossible. however, experiments with vesiculoviral particles pseudotyped with bas-congo glycoprotein suggested that basv particles can enter cells from multiple animals, includin ... | 2019 | 31105663 |
| bivens arm virus: a new rhabdovirus isolated from culicoides insignis in florida and related to tibrogargan virus of australia. | during field studies in 1981 on the transmission of bluetongue viruses in ruminants in florida, a virus was isolated from culicoides insignis collected near water buffalo (bubalus bubalis) recently imported from trinidad. electron microscopy showed that this isolate, for which the name bivens arm virus is proposed, has rhabdovirus morphology. serologic comparisons were made with recognized rhabdoviruses from terrestrial vertebrates and hematophagous arthropods. indirect fluorescent antibody, com ... | 1989 | 2650459 |
