Experimental and evolutionary evidence for horizontal transfer of an envelope fusion protein gene between thogotoviruses and baculoviruses [PDF]
Baculoviruses are insect-specific viruses with large, double-stranded DNA genomes classified into four genera. Alphabaculoviruses, which infect lepidoptera, are further divided into group I (G1-α) and group II (G2-α). The GP64 protein, essential for cell

DHORI VIRUS (ORTHOMYXOVIRIDAE: THOGOTOVIRUS) INFECTION IN MICE: A MODEL OF THE PATHOGENESIS OF SEVERE ORTHOMYXOVIRUS INFECTION [PDF]
After intranasal, subcutaneous, or intraperitoneal infection with Dhori virus (DHOV), adult mice developed a fulminant and uniformly fatal illness with many of the clinical and pathologic findings seen in mice infected with H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza A virus.

Involvement of a tick-borne orthomyxovirus matrix protein in vRNP nuclear export [PDF]
Thogotoviruses are arthropod-borne viruses belonging to the genus Thogotovirus within the family Orthomyxoviridae. Like other orthomyxoviruses, such as the influenza A viruses (IAV), thogotoviruses replicate in the nucleus.

Molecular, serological and in vitro culture-based characterization of Bourbon virus, a newly described human pathogen of the genus Thogotovirus [PDF]
In June of 2014, a previously healthy man from Kansas with a recent history of tick exposure died from complications related to an illness marked by fever, thrombocytopenia and leukopenia. An isolate was derived from the blood of this patient during the course of diagnostic testing.

ANP32 proteins from ticks and vertebrates are key host factors for replication of Bourbon virus across species [PDF]
Bourbon virus (BRBV) is a tick-borne virus in the genus Thogotovirus in the Orthomyxoviridae family. BRBV was initially identified as the presumptive causative agent of a fatal human infection in 2014 and has since been identified in ticks in the Midwest,

Surveillance for Tick-Borne Viruses Near the Location of a Fatal Human Case of Bourbon Virus (Family Orthomyxoviridae: Genus Thogotovirus) in Eastern Kansas, 2015 [PDF]
Bourbon virus (Family Orthomyxoviridae: Genus Thogotovirus) was first isolated from a human case-patient residing in Bourbon County, Kansas, who subsequently died. Before becoming ill in late spring of 2014, the patient reported several tick bites. In response, we initiated tick surveillance in Bourbon County and adjacent southern Linn County during ...

Diverse virome and potential pathogens in five tick species from metropolis surroundings of Beijing and Tianjin, China [PDF]
Rapid urbanization and dense populations in metropolitan areas increase the risk of tick-borne disease transmission. We profiled 139 RNA libraries of 1697 adult ticks belonging to Haemaphysalis longicornis, Haemaphysalis concinna, Dermacentor silvarum ...

The genome and structural organization of a novel insect-specific orthomyxovirus, designated Sinu virus, is described. Sinu virus (SINUV) was isolated in cultures of C6/36 cells from a pool of mosquitoes collected in northwestern Colombia. The virus has six negative-sense ssRNA segments. Genetic analysis of each segment demonstrated the presence of six
