TLDR
The findings increase to 30 the number of viruses isolated in Australia and tentatively viewed as arboviruses, and underline the importance of biting midges and sandflies as virus vectors.Abstract:
30 virus strains were isolated from arthropods or vertebrates taken at 3 centres in Queensland in 1969 and 1970. They included representatives of 6 virus types distinct from any previously isolated in Australia. Prototype strains, suggested names and sources of first or repeatable isolations of the 6 viruses were: Ch9824, Charleville virus, from Phlebotomus spp. and the reptile Gehyra australis; Ch9935, Warrego virus, from Culicoides spp.; MRM10434, Mitchell River virus, from Culicoides spp.; Ch12048, Wallal virus, from Culicoides spp.; MRM13443, Wongorr virus, from Aedes lineatopennis; MRM14556, Ngaingan virus, from Culicoides brevitarsis . Mouse neutralization tests on sera from vertebrates of various species detected serum inhibitors to Warrego, Wallal and Ngaingan viruses in wallabies and kangaroos, and to Warrego, Mitchell River, Wongorr and Ngaingan viruses in cattle. These findings increase to 30 the number of viruses isolated in Australia and tentatively viewed as arboviruses, and underline the importance of biting midges and sandflies as virus vectors.read more

TL;DR: A potent new oncolytic rhabdovirus platform with unique tumor-selective attenuating mutations is reported with a 100-fold greater maximum tolerable dose (MTD) than WT Maraba in vivo and resulted in durable cures when systemically administered in syngeneic and xenograft models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rhabdovirus accessory genes
TL;DR: Understanding the roles of these accessory genes and the strategies by which rhabdoviruses use them to engage, divert and re-direct cellular processes will not only present opportunities to develop new anti-viral therapies but may also reveal aspects of cellar function that have broader significance in biology, agriculture and medicine.

TL;DR: Several arthropod-borne viruses were grouped on the basis of relative stability to lipid solvents and sodium deoxycholate, lability at pH 3.0, and lack of antigenic relationship to major arbovirus serologic groups A, B, and Bunyamwera, distinguished from reoviruses by acid lability, slight solvent sensitivity, and serology.
