| studies on the epidemiology of sandfly fever in iran. i. virus isolates obtained from phlebotomus. | a total of 62 virus isolates was obtained from 12,485 male and female sandflies (predominately phlebotomus papatasi) collected in a village in central iran during the summer of 1975. the overall virus isolation rate from female sandflies was 1 per 177 insects processed. of the 62 virus strains obtained, 49 were identified as sicilian virus, 11 as karimabad, and 2 as a new member of the vesicular stomatitis serogroup. one isolate each of sicilian and karimabad virus was made from pools of male sa ... | 1977 | 192092 |
| studies on the epidemiology of sandfly fever in iran. ii. the prevalence of human and animal infection with five phlebotomus fever virus serotypes in isfahan province. | human and animal sera from an endemic area of sandfly fever in iran were tested by plaque reduction neutralization method against five different phlebotomus fever virus serotypes (naples, sicilian, karimabad, salehabad, and i-47). the overall prevalence of naples, sicilian, and karimabad virus antibodies among the human population was 17%, 25%, and 66%, respectively. all sera were negative against salehabad and i-47 viruses. age-specific antibody rates suggested that sicilian and karimabad virus ... | 1977 | 192093 |
| biochemical studies on the phlebotomus fever group viruses (bunyaviridae family). | analyses of the virion polypeptides and genomes of several phlebotomus fever group viruses, karimabad, punta toro, chagres, and the sandfly fever sicilian serotype viruses, have established that they are biochemically similar to the accepted members of the bunyaviridae family. like snowshoe hare virus (a member of the california serogroup of the bunyavirus genus of the bunyaviridae family), karimabad, punta toro, chagres, and the sandfly fever sicilian serotype viruses all have three viral rna s ... | 1979 | 225523 |
| serological studies on sandfly fevers in the republic of bangladesh. | blood samples from 160 inhabitants of the republic of bangladesh were studied by haemagglutination inhibition (hi), indirect hi, and radial haemolysis in gel tests. the sera were found to contain antibodies to the arborviruses of sicilian (6.25%) and naples (1.25%) sandfly fevers and to the karimabad virus (11.25%) which are transmitted by phlebotomus papatasi. antibodies to the karimabad virus were found among the bangladesh population for the first time. | 1984 | 6148858 |
| characterization of the sandfly fever naples species complex and description of a new karimabad species complex (genus phlebovirus, family bunyaviridae). | genomic and antigenic characterization of members of the sandfly fever naples virus (sfnv) complex reveals the presence of five clades that differ in their geographical distribution. saint floris and gordil viruses, both found in africa, form one clade; punique, granada and massilia viruses, all isolated in the western mediterranean, constitute a second; toscana virus, a third; sfnv isolates from italy, cyprus, egypt and india form a fourth; while tehran virus and a serbian isolate yu 8/76, repr ... | 2013 | 24096318 |
