Robert S. Lanciotti,John T. Roehrig,Vincent Deubel,Jonathan D. Smith,Michael W. Parker,K. Steele,B. Crise,K. E. Volpe,Mary B. Crabtree,Jacqueline H. Scherret,Roy A. Hall,John S. Mackenzie,C. B. Cropp,B. Panigrahy,Eileen N. Ostlund,B. Schmitt,M. Malkinson,C. Banet,Joel S. Weissman,Nicholas Komar,Harry M. Savage,Ward B. Stone,Tim McNamara,Duane J. Gubler +23 more
TL;DR: In late summer 1999, an outbreak of human encephalitis occurred in the northeastern United States that was concurrent with extensive mortality in crows (Corvus species) as well as the deaths of several exotic birds at a zoological park in the same area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid Detection of West Nile Virus from Human Clinical Specimens, Field-Collected Mosquitoes, and Avian Samples by a TaqMan Reverse Transcriptase-PCR Assay
Robert S. Lanciotti,Amy J. Kerst,Roger S. Nasci,Marvin S. Godsey,Carl J. Mitchell,Harry M. Savage,Nicholas Komar,Nicholas A. Panella,Becky C. Allen,Kate E. Volpe,Brent S. Davis,John T. Roehrig +11 more
TL;DR: The TaqMan assay was specific for WN virus and demonstrated a greater sensitivity than the traditional RT-PCR method and correctly identified WNirus in 100% of the culture-positive mosquito pools and 98% ofthe culture- positive avian tissue samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host Feeding Patterns of Established and Potential Mosquito Vectors of West Nile Virus in the Eastern United States
Charles S. Apperson,Hassan K. Hassan,Bruce A. Harrison,Harry M. Savage,Stephen E. Aspen,Ary Farajollahi,Wayne J. Crans,Thomas J. Daniels,Richard C. Falco,Mark Q. Benedict,Michael Anderson,Larry McMillen,Thomas R. Unnasch +12 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that vector species for West Nile virus may preferentially feed upon certain avian hosts, including American Robin, Northern Cardinal, Northern Mockingbird, Tufted Titmouse, and Brown-headed Cowbird.
Journal ArticleDOI
West Nile virus in overwintering Culex mosquitoes, New York City, 2000.
Roger S. Nasci,Harry M. Savage,Dennis J. White,James R. Miller,Bruce C. Cropp,Marvin S. Godsey,Amy J. Kerst,Paul Bennett,Kristy L. Gottfried,Robert S. Lanciotti +9 more
TL;DR: After the 1999 West Nile encephalitis outbreak in New York, 2,300 overwintering adult mosquitoes were tested for WN virus by cell culture and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Entomologic and avian investigations of an epidemic of West Nile fever in Romania in 1996, with serologic and molecular characterization of a virus isolate from mosquitoes.
Harry M. Savage,Cornelia Svetlana Ceianu,G. Nicolescu,N Karabatsos,Robert S. Lanciotti,A. Vladimirescu,L Laiv,A. Ungureanu,C Romanca,Theodore F. Tsai +9 more
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses of 23 WN virus strains and one KUN virus strain using the amino acid and nucleotide sequences for a small portion of the E gene suggest the existence of two large lineages of viruses.
