  • to West Nile virus in Birds
    2013
    Co-Authors: Gregory D Ebel, Joseph Maffei, Donna Young, Alan P Dupuis, David Nicholas, Laura D Kramer
    Abstract:

    We adapted an indirect immunoglobulin G enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to facilitate studies of West Nile virus (WNV) and evaluated its application to taxonomically diverse avian species. Anti-WNV antibodies were detected in 23 bird species, including many exotic species, demonstrating its value in studies of WNV Epizootiology

  • a global perspective on the epidemiology of west nile virus
    Annual Review of Entomology, 2008
    Co-Authors: Laura D Kramer, Linda M Styer, Gregory D Ebel
    Abstract:

    West Nile virus (WNV) (Flavivirus: Flaviviridae) is the most widespread arbovirus in the world. A significant range expansion occurred beginning in 1999 when the virus was introduced into New York City. This review highlights recent research into WNV Epizootiology and epidemiology, including recent advances in understanding of the host-virus interaction at the molecular, organismal, and ecological levels. Vector control strategies, vaccines, and antivirals, which now must be considered on a global scale, are also discussed.

  • SYNOPSIS Thottapalayam Virus, a Prototype
    2013
    Co-Authors: Shrewborne Hantavirus, Jin-won Song, Luck Ju Baek, Connie S. Schmaljohn, Richard Yanagihara
    Abstract:

    Thottapalayam virus (TPMV) has been placed in the genus Hantavirus of the family Bunyaviridae by virtue of its morphologic features and overall genetic similarities to well-characterized rodentborne hantaviruses. This virus has been isolated from the Asian house shrew (Suncus murinus); however, whether TPMV is naturally harbored by an insectivore host or represents spillover from a rodent reservoir host is unknown. Our analysis of published and unpublished data on the experimental host range, genetics, and molecular phylogeny of TPMV supports coevolution of TPMV with its nonrodent reservoir host. Future studies on the Epizootiology of TPMV and investigations of new shrewborne hantaviruses will provide additional insights into the evolutionary origin of hantaviruses in their rodent and insectivore reservoir hosts. Such investigations may also provide clues about determinants of hantavirus pathogenicity and virulence

  • Phylogenetically distinct hantaviruses in the masked shrew (Sorex cinereus) and dusky shrew (Sorex monticolus) in the United States.
    The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2008
    Co-Authors: Satoru Arai, Andrew G. Hope, Joseph A. Cook, Jin-won Song, Shannon N. Bennett, Laarni Sumibcay, Cheryl A. Parmenter, Vivek R. Nerurkar, Terry L. Yates, Richard Yanagihara
    Abstract:

    A limited search for hantaviruses in lung and liver tissues of Sorex shrews (family Soricidae, subfamily Soricinae) revealed phylogenetically distinct hantaviruses in the masked shrew (Sorex cinereus) from Minnesota and in the dusky shrew (Sorex monticolus) from New Mexico and Colorado. The discovery of these shrew-borne hantaviruses, named Ash River virus and Jemez Springs virus, respectively, challenges the long-held dogma that rodents are the sole reservoir hosts and forces a re-examination of their co-evolutionary history. Also, studies now underway are aimed at clarifying the Epizootiology and pathogenicity of these new members of the genus Hantavirus.
