Zoonotic and emerging orbivirus infections. [PDF]
Many novel emerging orbiviruses have been isolated in the past 15 years. Important viruses include Peruvian horse sickness virus (PHSV) and Yunnan orbivirus (YUOV), pathogens of equids which were originally isolated almost simultaneously from 1997 to 1999 in the People's Republic of China, Australia and Peru.

Genetic and epidemiological characterization of Stretch Lagoon orbivirus, a novel orbivirus isolated from Culex and Aedes mosquitoes in northern Australia [PDF]
Stretch Lagoon orbivirus (SLOV) was isolated in 2002 from pooled Culex annulirostris mosquitoes collected at Stretch Lagoon, near the Wolfe Creek national park in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Conventional serological tests were unable to identify the isolate, and electron microscopy indicated a virus of the genus Orbivirus, family ...

Umatilla virus genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis: identification of stretch lagoon orbivirus as a new member of the Umatilla virus species. [PDF]
The genus Orbivirus, family Reoviridae, includes 22 species of viruses with genomes composed of ten segments of linear dsRNA that are transmitted between their vertebrate hosts by insects or ticks, or with no identified vectors. Full-genome sequence data

Rapid Molecular Strategy for Orbivirus Detection and Characterization [PDF]
ABSTRACT Orbiviruses infect a wide range of hosts, including humans. The ability to detect them has been hampered by their diversity. Here we present a simple consensus reverse transcription (RT)-PCR method targeting the polymerase gene for orbivirus recognition and characterization.

Metavirome Identification and Pathogenicity Evaluation of Tibet Orbivirus in Pigs [PDF]
Tibet orbivirus (TIBOV) is an orbivirus transmitted by mosquitoes and Culicoides , despite specific neutralizing antibodies being detected in pigs, but the molecular genetic characteristics of TIBOV strains in infected pigs are completely uncharted, and their pathogenicity in piglets is ...

Genomic characterization of arboviruses discovered between the 1950s and 1980s [PDF]
Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) pose a major threat to global public health, impacting both human and animal health. Genomic characterization is important for arboviruses because it allows for an understanding of their evolution and improves timely

Detection of a Fourth Orbivirus Non-Structural Protein [PDF]
The genus Orbivirus includes both insect and tick-borne viruses. The orbivirus genome, composed of 10 segments of dsRNA, encodes 7 structural proteins (VP1-VP7) and 3 non-structural proteins (NS1-NS3). An open reading frame (ORF) that spans almost the entire length of genome segment-9 (Seg-9) encodes VP6 (the viral helicase).

Seroprevalence of Arboviruses and Genetic Characterization of Orbiviruses in Sloths from Western Panama [PDF]
Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are an increasingly significant threat to public health in tropical regions. In this study, we investigated the seroprevalence of various arboviruses in two species of sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni and Bradypus ...
