Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Characterization of Zika Virus Strains: Geographic Expansion of the Asian Lineage
Andrew D. Haddow,Amy J. Schuh,Chadwick Y. Yasuda,Matthew R. Kasper,Vireak Heang,Rekol Huy,Hilda Guzman,Robert B. Tesh,Scott C. Weaver +8 more
TL;DR: The basal position of the ZIKV strain isolated in Malaysia in 1966 suggests that the recent outbreak in Micronesia was initiated by a strain from Southeast Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-Scale Phylogenetic Analyses of Chikungunya Virus Reveal Independent Emergences of Recent Epidemics and Various Evolutionary Rates
Sara M. Volk,Sara M. Volk,Rubing Chen,Konstantin A. Tsetsarkin,A. Paige Adams,Tzintzuni Garcia,Tzintzuni Garcia,Amadou A. Sall,Farooq Nasar,Amy J. Schuh,Edward C. Holmes,Stephen Higgs,Payal D. Maharaj,Payal D. Maharaj,Aaron C. Brault,Scott C. Weaver +15 more
TL;DR: It is inferred that extant CHIKV strains evolved from an ancestor that existed within the last 500 years and that some geographic overlap exists between two main enzootic lineages previously thought to be geographically separated within Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral shedding of marburg virus in experimentally infected egyptian fruit bats (rousettus aegyptiacus)
Brian R. Amman,Megan E. B. Jones,Megan E. B. Jones,Tara K. Sealy,Luke S. Uebelhoer,Luke S. Uebelhoer,Amy J. Schuh,Brian H. Bird,JoAnn D. Coleman-McCray,Brock E. Martin,Stuart T. Nichol,Jonathan S. Towner,Jonathan S. Towner +12 more
TL;DR: Experimental experiments have shown infection profiles consistent with R. aegyptiacus being a bona fide natural reservoir host for MARV and demonstrated routes of viral shedding capable of infecting humans and other animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Inoculation of Egyptian Rousette Bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) with Viruses of the Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus Genera
Megan E. B. Jones,Megan E. B. Jones,Amy J. Schuh,Brian R. Amman,Tara K. Sealy,Sherif R. Zaki,Stuart T. Nichol,Jonathan S. Towner,Jonathan S. Towner +8 more
TL;DR: Egyptian rousettes are unlikely sources for ebolaviruses in nature, and support a possible single filovirus—single reservoir host relationship, according to a first experimental infection study comparing tissue tropism, viral shedding, and clinical and pathologic effects in the Egyptian rousette.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of the Emergence and Establishment of a Newly Dominant Genotype of Japanese Encephalitis Virus throughout Asia
TL;DR: The largest collection of GIII and GI envelope gene-derived viral sequences assembled to date was used to reconstruct the spatiotemporal chronology of genotype displacement throughout Asia and to determine the evolutionary and epidemiological dynamics underlying this significant event.
