Banna virus, China, 1987-2007

Emerg Infect Dis. 2010 Mar;16(3):514-7. doi: 10.3201/eid1603.091160.

Abstract

Banna viruses (BAVs) have been isolated from pigs, cattle, ticks, mosquitoes, and human encephalitis patients. We isolated and analyzed 20 BAVs newly isolated in China; this finding extends the distribution of BAVs from tropical zone to north temperate climates and demonstrate regional variations in BAV phylogeny and mosquito species possibly involved in BAV transmission.
