Prevalence studies have demonstrated a global distribution of equine hepacivirus (EqHV), a member of the family Flaviviridae. However, apart from a single case of vertical transmission, natural routes of EqHV transmission ...
Phylogenetic Analysis of Lednice Orthobunyavirus
(2019)
Abstract:
Lednice virus (LEDV) has been detected in Culex modestus mosquitoes in several European countries within the last six decades. In this study, phylogenetic analyses of the complete genome segments confirm that ...
Strengthening the Interaction of the Virology Community with the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) by Linking Virus Names and Their Abbreviations to Virus Species
(2019)

Specific detection and differentiation of tick‐borne encephalitis and West Nile virus induced IgG antibodies in humans and horses
(2019)
Abstract:
Tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) and West Nile virus (WNV) are important arthropod‐ borne zoonotic flaviviruses. Due to the emergence of WNV in TBEV‐endemic regions co‐circulation of both viruses is increasing. ...
