| phylogenetic characterisation of bluetongue viruses from naturally-infected insects, cattle and sheep in australia. | the polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the presence of bluetongue virus (btv) in a number of clinical and insect samples collected in the northern territory of australia. sequence analyses of the amplified btv genes differentiated endemic australian and exotic viruses. two potential exotic btv were detected as a result of pcr analyses of blood from sentinel animals and of the insect vector, culicoides wadai. the detection of btv in c wadai was the first direct demonstration of the pres ... | 1994 | 8048903 |
| population genetic structure and potential incursion pathways of the bluetongue virus vector culicoides brevitarsis (diptera: ceratopogonidae) in australia. | culicoides brevitarsis is a vector of the bluetongue virus (btv), which infects sheep and cattle. it is an invasive species in australia with an assumed asian/south east asian origin. using one mitochondrial marker (i.e., part of the cytochrome oxidase subunit i gene) and six nuclear markers, we inferred population genetic structure and possible incursion pathways for australian c. brevitarsis. nine mitochondrial haplotypes, with low nucleotide sequence diversity (0.0-0.7%) among these, were ide ... | 2016 | 26771743 |
| integrative taxonomy to investigate species boundaries within culicoides (diptera: ceratopogonidae): a case study using subgenus avaritia from australasia and eastern asia. | in this study, species boundaries were examined for 15 described and 2 undescribed species within the economically important culicoides subg. avaritia fox from australasia and eastern asia. we used an integrative taxonomic approach incorporating dna barcoding, nuclear gene sequencing, and retrospective morphological analyses. some arbovirus vector species such as culicoides fulvus sen and das gupta and culicoides wadai kitaoka were genetically and morphologically uniform across sampled distribut ... | 2016 | 26741249 |
