Orthobunyavirus Ultrastructure and the Curious Tripodal Glycoprotein Spike [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2013
The genus Orthobunyavirus within the family Bunyaviridae constitutes an expanding group of emerging viruses, which threaten human and animal health. Despite the medical importance, little is known about orthobunyavirus structure, a prerequisite for understanding virus assembly and entry.

Failure to detect Schmallenberg virus RNA in ram semen in the UK (2016–2018)

open access: yesVeterinary Record Open, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Schmallenberg virus (SBV) is a midge‐borne arbovirus that first emerged in the European ruminant population in 2011 and has since settled to an endemic pattern of disease outbreaks on an approximately 4‐year cycle when herd immunity from the previous circulation drops to a point allowing renewed widescale virus circulation.

Comparison of surveillance trapping methods to monitor Culicoides biting midge activity in Trinidad, West Indies

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 456-468, December 2022., 2022
Study on a dairy goat farm compared three static trap designs with (a) UV light; (b) incandescent light or (c) semiochemical lure (no light). Sweep netting was used to define diel periodicity. Trap designs A and C collected significantly greater number of Culicoides specimens than trap B; trap C gained highest species richness despite no significant ...

Mutations in the Schmallenberg virus Gc glycoprotein facilitate cellular protein synthesis shutoff and restore pathogenicity of NSs deletion mutants in mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Serial passage of viruses in cell culture has been traditionally used to attenuate virulence and identify determinants of viral pathogenesis. In a previous study, we found that a strain of Schmallenberg virus (SBV) serially passaged in tissue culture ...

Molecular characterization of Umbre virus (Bunyaviridae)

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2008
Umbre (UMB) virus was first isolated from India in 1955 and classified as Orthobunyavirus (Turlock serogroup). Eight isolates of this virus, isolated from Culex mosquitoes were characterized on the basis of partial glycoprotein (G2) gene.

Culex tarsalis is a competent vector species for Cache Valley virus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: Cache Valley virus (CVV) is a mosquito-borne orthobunyavirus endemic in North America. The virus is an important agricultural pathogen leading to abortion and embryonic lethality in ruminant species, especially sheep.

Second Human Case of Cache Valley Virus Disease

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
We document the second known case of Cache Valley virus disease in a human. Cache Valley virus disease is rarely diagnosed in North America, in part because laboratories rarely test for it.

Viral Ecology and Natural Infection Dynamics of Kaeng Khoi Virus in Cave-Dwelling Wrinkle-Lipped Free-Tailed Bats (Chaerephon plicatus) in Thailand

open access: yesDiseases, 2021
Kaeng Khoi virus (KKV; Order: Bunyavirales), is an endemic viral infection of the wrinkle-lipped free-tailed bat (Chaerephon plicatus aka Tadarida plicata plicata).

Isolation of a novel orthobunyavirus from bat flies (Eucampsipoda africana)

open access: hybridJournal of General Virology, 2017
The Bunyaviridae family comprises viruses causing diseases of public and veterinary health importance, including viral haemorrhagic and arboviral fevers. We report the isolation, identification and genome characterization of a novel orthobunyavirus, named Wolkberg virus (WBV), from wingless bat fly ectoparasites (Eucampsipoda africana) of Egyptian ...
