Trent, Dennis W. (University of Oklahoma School of Medicine, Oklahoma City), and L. Vernon Scott. Colorado tick fever virus in cell culture. II. Physical and chemical properties. J. Bacteriol. 91:1282-1288. 1966.-Heat-inactivation kinetics for Colorado tick fever (CTF) virus grown in L cells
Field studies of Colorado tick fever (CTF) in small mammals in Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) in 1974 established that Eutamias minimus and Spermophilus lateralis were the most important hosts for CTF virus and were the source of virus for immature stages of the tick vector, Dermacentor
Genome segment 9 (Seg-9) of Colorado tick fever virus (CTFV) is 1884 bp long and contains a large open reading frame (ORF; 1845 nt in length overall), although a single in-frame stop codon (at nt 1052-1054) reduces the ORF coding capacity by approximately 40 %. However, analyses of highly conserved
Termination codon readthrough is utilized as a mechanism of expression of a growing number of viral and cellular proteins, but in many cases the mRNA signals that promote readthrough are poorly characterized. Here, we investigated the readthrough signal of Colorado tick fever virus (CTFV) segment 9
The sequence relatedness of ten isolates of the Colorado tick fever (CTF) serogroup of orbiviruses was examined by RNA-RNA blot hybridization. The 12 dsRNA genome segments of each of the isolates were electrophoresed in a 10% polyacrylamide gel, the segments were transferred electrophoretically to
The involvement of porcupines, Erethizon dorsatum (L.), in the ecology of Colorado tick fever (CTF) virus in Rocky Mountain National Park was investigated from 1975 to 1977. Porcupine dens and feeding activity were found mostly on rocky knolls or on south-facing slopes within open stands of the
BACKGROUND
Colorado tick fever (CTF) is an underreported tick-borne viral disease occurring in the western United States. CTF illness includes fever, headache, and severe myalgia lasting for weeks. Wyoming has one of the highest CTF incidence rates with approximately 30% of infected persons
BACKGROUND
Colorado tick fever (CTF) is an acute systemic febrile illness caused by the CTF virus (CTFV). The last national summary of CTF cases in the United States included cases reported through 2001. This study summarizes national surveillance data for CTF from 2002 through 2012 and examines
VP6, VP7, VP9, VP10, VP11, and VP12 of Colorado tick fever virus (CTF virus), a virus member of the genus Coltivirus, family Reoviridae, were expressed in bacteria with the pGEX-4T-2 vector. A partial sequence of VP7 (designated pVP7) was chosen to elaborate an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
Ecologic studies of small mammals in Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) were conducted in 1974 in order to identify the specific habitats within the Lower Montane Forest that support Colorado tick fever (CTF) virus. Data was collected on the abundance and distribution of 4 primary rodent species,
The nucleotide sequences of the tenth (M6), eleventh (S1) and twelfth (S2) dsRNA genomic segments of the Florio strain (N-7180) of Colorado tick fever virus were determined and found to be 675, 998 and 1884 bp, respectively, in length. A nonanucleotide motif and a hexanucleotide motif were found to
Trent, Dennis W. (University of Oklahoma School of Medicine, Oklahoma City) and L. Vernon Scott. Colorado tick fever virus in cell culture. I. Cell-type susceptibility and interaction with L cells. J. Bacteriol. 88:702-708. 1964.-Colorado tick fever (CTF) virus was serially propagated in monolayer
Molecular and serologic methods usable for the biological diagnosis of Coltivirus infection are reported. We designed a multiplex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction system that allowed the simultaneous and specific amplification of three genomic segments from as little as 0.01
The Colorado tick fever virus (CTFV) is the type species of genus Coltivirus, family Reoviridae. Its genome consisting of 12 segments of dsRNA was completely sequenced. It was found to be 29,174 nucleotides long (the longest of all Reoviridae genomes characterized to date). Conserved sequences at
Twenty strains of Colorado tick fever (CTF) virus, isolated from ticks, mammals and humans, and two antigenic relatives of CTF virus were compared in cross-neutralization tests. Viruses were tested using single-inoculation sera prepared in hamsters. Antigenic variation, as measured by differences
