Genetic Characterization of Sandfly-Borne Viruses in Phlebotomine Sandflies in Iran

Microorganisms, 2023
Phleboviruses are classified into two main groups: the sandfly fever group (transmitted by sandflies and mosquitoes) and the Uukuniemi group (transmitted by ticks).

Hunter Island Group Phlebovirus in Ticks, Australia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015
To the Editor: A recent article described the isolation and subsequent analysis of a tickborne phlebovirus: Hunter Island Group virus (HIGV), associated with an albatross disease event that occurred in 2002 on Albatross Island, 6 kilometers off the northwest coast of Tasmania, Australia (1).

In vitro and in vivo Phlebovirus inhibition by ribavirin [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1988
Ribavirin (1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide) was markedly inhibitory in vitro to Adames and Balliet strains of Punta Toro virus (PTV), a Phlebovirus related to Rift Valley fever and sandfly fever viruses. By using inhibition of viral cytopathic effect in LLC-MK2 cells with both virus strains, the 50% effective dose was 4 to 10 ...

Structures of phlebovirus glycoprotein Gn and identification of a neutralizing antibody epitope [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017
Significance Bunyaviruses are emerging zoonotic pathogens of public-health concern. Lack of structures for proteins on the viral membrane (“envelope”) surface limits understanding of entry. We describe atomic-level structures for the globular “head” of the envelope protein, glycoprotein N (Gn), from two members, severe fever with

The Unique Phylogenetic Position of a Novel Tick-Borne Phlebovirus Ensures an Ixodid Origin of the Genus Phlebovirus [PDF]

mSphere, 2018
The emergence of novel tick-borne RNA viruses causing severe illness in humans has complicated the epidemiological landscape of tick-borne diseases, requiring further investigation to safeguard public health. In the present study, we discovered a novel tick-borne phlebovirus from Ixodes persulcatus ticks in Japan ...

Emerging phleboviruses [PDF]

, 2014
The <i>Bunyavidae</i> family is the largest grouping of RNA viruses and arguably the most diverse. Bunyaviruses have a truly global distribution and can infect vertebrates, invertebrates and plants.

Mapping of transcription termination within the S segment of SFTS phlebovirus facilitated the generation of NSs-deletant viruses [PDF]

, 2017
SFTS phlebovirus (severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus; SFTSV) is an emerging tick-borne bunyavirus that was first reported in China in 2009. Here we report the generation of a recombinant SFTSV (rHB29NSsKO) that cannot express the viral non-

Viola phlebovirus is a novel Phlebotomus fever serogroup member identified in Lutzomyia (Lutzomyia) longipalpis from Brazilian Pantanal

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background High throughput sequencing (HTS) boosted the discovery of novel viruses and new variants of known viruses. Here we investigated the presence of viruses in 12 pools of sand flies captured in three climatic periods in RAPELD grids at Rio Claro ...
