| seroprevalence of sandfly-borne phleboviruses belonging to three serocomplexes (sandfly fever naples, sandfly fever sicilian and salehabad) in dogs from greece and cyprus using neutralization test. | phleboviruses transmitted by sandflies are endemic in the mediterranean area. the last decade has witnessed the description of an accumulating number of novel viruses. although, the risk of exposure of vertebrates is globally assessed, detailed geographic knowledge is poor even in greece and cyprus where sandfly fever has been recognized for a long time and repeatedly. a total of 1,250 dogs from mainland greece and greek archipelago on one hand and 422 dogs from cyprus on the other hand have bee ... | 2016 | 27783676 |
| phleboviruses detection in phlebotomus perniciosus from a human leishmaniasis focus in south-west madrid region, spain. | phlebotomus-borne (phb-) viruses are distributed in large areas of the old world and are widespread throughout the mediterranean basin, where recent investigations have indicated that virus diversity is higher than initially suspected. some of these viruses are causes of meningitis, encephalitis and febrile illnesses. in order to monitor the viral presence and the infection rate of phb-viruses in a recently identified and well characterized human zoonotic leishmaniasis focus in southwestern madr ... | 2016 | 27075742 |
| a novel phlebovirus in albanian sandflies. | sandflies were collected in two districts of albania and tested for a probable phlebovirus infection. a novel phlebovirus, provisionally named adria virus, was detected in 2/12 pools, both trapped in a region close to the adriatic sea. the new virus is genetically closer (similarity 77.1% at nucleotide level) to arbia virus, which belongs to the salehabad serocomplex. its distribution and probable pathogenicity to humans remain to be elucidated. | 2011 | 21414085 |
| ecology of viruses isolated from sand flies in italy and characterized of a new phlebovirus (arabia virus). | a total of 84 virus strains was obtained from 16,374 male and female sand flies (phlebotomus perniciosus and p. perfiliewi) collected in two localities of tuscany region in italy between 1980 and 1985. thirty-seven (44%) were identified as toscana virus (family bunyaviridae, genus phlebovirus) and 47 (56%) as a new member of the phlebotomus fever serogroup, arbia virus. the characteristics of this new serotype are described. the overall virus isolation rate from sand flies was 0.5 per 100 insect ... | 1988 | 3128131 |
| co-circulation of a novel phlebovirus and massilia virus in sandflies, portugal. | in portugal, entomological surveys to detect phleboviruses in their natural vectors have not been performed so far. thus, the aims of the present study were to detect, isolate and characterize phleboviruses in sandfly populations of portugal. | 2015 | 26497645 |
| isolation, genetic characterization, and seroprevalence of adana virus, a novel phlebovirus belonging to the salehabad virus complex, in turkey. | a new phlebovirus, adana virus, was isolated from a pool of phlebotomus spp. (diptera; psychodidae) in the province of adana, in the mediterranean region of turkey. genetic analysis based on complete coding of genomic sequences indicated that adana virus belongs to the salehabad virus species of the genus phlebovirus in the family bunyaviridae. adana virus is the third virus of the salehabad virus species for which the complete sequence has been determined. to understand the epidemiology of adan ... | 2015 | 25653443 |
| characterization of the bujaru, frijoles and tapara antigenic complexes into the sandfly fever group and two unclassified phleboviruses from brazil. | phlebovirus genus includes the sandfly fever viruses and tick-transmitted uukuviruses. sandfly fever group viruses have been isolated from various vertebrate species and from phlebotomines and occasionally alternative arthropods, e.g. mosquitoes, or ceratopogonids in the genus culicoides. uukuniemi serogroup viruses have been isolated from various vertebrate species and from ticks. despite the public health importance of some viruses of the genus, the genomic diversity of phleboviruses that coul ... | 2017 | 28141497 |
