| gouleako virus isolated from west african mosquitoes constitutes a proposed novel genus in the family bunyaviridae. | the family bunyaviridae is the most diversified family of rna viruses. we describe a novel prototypic bunyavirus, tentatively named goul+®ako virus, isolated from various mosquito species trapped in c+¦te d'ivoire. the s segment comprised 1,087 nucleotides (nt), the m segment 3,188 nt, and the l segment 6,358 nt, constituting the shortest bunyavirus genome known so far. the virus had shorter genome termini than phleboviruses and showed no evidence of encoded nss and nsm proteins. an uncharacteri ... | 2011 | 21715500 |
| no evidence of gouléako and herbert virus infections in pigs, côte d'ivoire and ghana. | a recent report suggested that 2 novel bunyaviruses discovered in insects in côte d'ivoire caused lethal disease in swine in south korea. we conducted cell culture studies and tested serum from pigs exposed to mosquitoes in côte d'ivoire and ghana and found no evidence for infection in pigs. | 0 | 26583956 |
| characterization of a novel negevirus and a novel bunyavirus isolated from culex (culex) declarator mosquitoes in trinidad. | pools of mosquitoes were tested for insect-specific viruses using cytopathic effect (cpe) assays on aedes albopictus (c6/36) cells. illumina sequencing of rna from pool tr7094, which produced extensive cpe 2 days post-infection, yielded the complete genome sequences of a previously unknown bunyavirus, designated cumuto virus (cumv), and a second virus designated wallerfield virus (walv). walv shared highest amino acid identity (60.1 %) with dezidougou virus from côte d'ivoire, a positive-sense, ... | 2013 | 24262627 |
