| evolutionary relationship of the l- and m-class genome segments of bat-borne fusogenic orthoreoviruses in malaysia and australia. | we previously described three new malaysian orthoreoviruses designated pulau virus, melaka virus and kampar virus. melaka and kampar viruses were shown to cause respiratory disease in humans. these viruses, together with nelson bay virus, isolated from australian bats, are tentatively classified as different strains within the species pteropine orthoreovirus (prv), formerly known as nelson bay orthoreovirus, based on the small (s) genome segments. here we report the sequences of the large (l) an ... | 2011 | 21849518 |
| pteropine orthoreovirus: an important emerging virus causing infectious disease in the tropics? | pteropine orthoreovirus (prv) is an emerging zoonotic respiratory virus that has spilled over from bats to humans. though initially found only in bats, further case studies have found viable virus in ill patients. | 2017 | 28368854 |
| pteropine orthoreovirus infection among out-patients with acute upper respiratory tract infection in malaysia. | this study aims to assess the incidence rate of pteropine orthreovirus (prv) infection in patients with acute upper respiratory tract infection (urti) in a suburban setting in malaysia, where bats are known to be present in the neighborhood. using molecular detection of prvs directly from oropharyngeal swabs, our study demonstrates that prv is among one of the common causative agents of acute urti with cough and sore throat as the commonest presenting clinical features. phylogenetic analysis on ... | 2015 | 26106066 |
| identification and characterization of a new orthoreovirus from patients with acute respiratory infections. | first discovered in the early 1950s, reoviruses (respiratory enteric orphan viruses) were not associated with any known disease, and hence named orphan viruses. recently, our group reported the isolation of the melaka virus from a patient with acute respiratory disease and provided data suggesting that this new orthoreovirus is capable of human-to-human transmission and is probably of bat origin. here we report yet another melaka-like reovirus (named kampar virus) isolated from the throat swab o ... | 2008 | 19030226 |
