Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the introduction of a T249P amino acid substitution in the NS3 helicase (found in North American WNV) in a low-virulence strain was sufficient to generate a phenotype highly virulent to AMCRs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential virulence of West Nile strains for American crows.
Aaron C. Brault,Stanley A. Langevin,Richard A. Bowen,Nicholas A. Panella,Brad J. Biggerstaff,Barry R. Miller,Nicholas Komar +6 more
TL;DR: Increased viremia and deaths in American Crows inoculated with a North American West Nile viral genotype indicate that viral genetic determinants enhance avian pathogenicity and increase transmission potential of WNV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of genetic polymorphisms detected by the random-amplified polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) for differentiation and identification of Aedes aegypti subspecies and populations.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the RAPD-PCR technique will be useful in studies of arthropod molecular taxonomy and in epidemiologic studies of the relatedness of geographic populations and vector movement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population genetics with RAPD-PCR markers: the breeding structure of Aedes aegypti in Puerto Rico.
TL;DR: RAPD-PCR polymorphisms at 57 presumptive loci were used to examine the breeding structure of the mosquito Aedes aegypti in Puerto Rico and demonstrated that small samples inflate FST and linkage disequilibrium.
Journal ArticleDOI
First field evidence for natural vertical transmission of West Nile virus in Culex univittatus complex mosquitoes from Rift Valley province, Kenya.
Barry R. Miller,Roger S. Nasci,Marvin S. Godsey,Harry M. Savage,Julius J. Lutwama,Robert S. Lanciotti,Clarence J. Peters +6 more
TL;DR: A phylogenetic analysis of the complete amino acid sequence of the viral envelope glycoprotein demonstrated a sister relationship with a Culex pipiens mosquito isolate from Romania made in 1996, which strongly suggests that vertical transmission of the virus occurs in the primary maintenance mosquito vector in Kenya.
