Production, quantification, and infection of Amazonian Phlebovirus (Bunyaviridae) [PDF]
Phlebotomine vectors, sand flies of the order Diptera, are known to transmit Leishmania parasites as well as RNA viruses (arboviruses) to humans. The arbovirus, Icoaraci Phlebovirus (BeAN 24262 - ICOV), used in this study was isolated from Nectomys rodents, a mammalian species that is the same natural sylvatic reservoir of Leishmania (Leishmania ...

Prophylactic and therapeutic intervention of Punta Toro virus (Phlebovirus, Bunyaviridae) infection in hamsters with interferon alfacon-1 [PDF]
Punta Toro virus (PTV) is a member of the Bunyaviridae family, genus Phlebovirus, related to the highly pathogenic Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV). It produces a disease in hamsters that models severe Rift Valley fever (RVF) in humans. The recent outbreak of RVF in Kenya stresses the need to identify prophylactic and therapeutic measures for preventing ...

Immunoprophylaxis of Punta Toro virus (Phlebovirus, Bunyaviridae) infection in hamsters with recombinant Eimeria profilin-like antigen [PDF]
Recombinant Eimeria antigen (rEA) has been shown to have potent anticancer and antiviral activity in respective mouse disease models, presumably through robust immune stimulation that occurs via TLR11, a pattern recognition receptor that recognizes profilin-like proteins expressed on apicomplexan protozoans.

Mosquito Feeding-Induced Enhancement of Cache Valley Virus (Bunyaviridae) Infection in Mice [PDF]
Cache-Valley (CV) virus, an arthropod-borne bunyavirus, recently has emerged as a significant veterinary pathogen causing infertility and congenital malformations in North American ruminants. To investigate the role of vector feeding on CV infection, adult mice were injected subcutaneously with CV, CV and vector thorax extract (a source of vector ...

ASSOCIATION BETWEEN MOVEMENT AND SIN NOMBRE VIRUS (BUNYAVIRIDAE: HANTAVIRUS) INFECTION IN NORTH AMERICAN DEERMICE (PEROMYSCUS MANICULATUS) IN COLORADO [PDF]
Capture data from long-term, mark-recapture studies were used to evaluate movements of North American deermice (Peromyscus maniculatus) on mark-recapture webs in Colorado with respect to Sin Nombre virus (SNV) infection status, age, sex, and trapping site.
