| nyamanini and midway viruses define a novel taxon of rna viruses in the order mononegavirales. | here, we report the sequencing and classification of nyamanini virus (nymv) and midway virus (midwv), two antigenically related viruses that were first isolated in 1957 and 1966, respectively. although these viruses have been cultured multiple times from cattle egrets, seabirds, and their ticks, efforts to classify them taxonomically using conventional serological and electron microscopic approaches have failed completely. we used a random shotgun sequencing strategy to define the genomes of nym ... | 2009 | 19279111 |
| isolation and characterization of midway virus: a new tick-borne virus related to nyamanini. | midway virus, a new tick-borne virus isolated from two species of ornithodoros (alectorobius) ticks of the capensis group (o capensis, o denmarki), is described from midway, kure, and manana islands in the central pacific (hawaiian archipelago) and from northern honshu (japan). midway virion is enveloped, unusually large, acid and temperature sensitive, and its type of nucleic acid is rna. complement-fixation (cf) tests show a close relation of midway to nyamanini virus, which has been isolated ... | 1982 | 7153772 |
