Characterization of three new insect-specific flaviviruses: their relationship to the mosquito-borne flavivirus pathogens.
Three novel insect-specific flaviviruses, isolated from mosquitoes collected in Peru, Malaysia (Sarawak), and the United States, are characterized. The new viruses, designated La Tina, Kampung Karu, and Long Pine Key, respectively, are antigenically and phylogenetically more similar to the mosquit...

Three novel insect-specific flaviviruses, isolated from mosquitoes collected in Peru, Malaysia (Sarawak),
and the United States, are characterized. The new viruses, designated La Tina, Kampung Karu, and Long Pine Key,
respectively, are antigenically and phylogenetically more similar to the mosquito-borne flavivirus pathogens, than to the
classical insect-specific viruses like cell fusing agent and Culex flavivirus. The potential implications of this relationship
and the possible uses of these and other arbovirus-related insect-specific flaviviruses are reviewed. |
