Complete Genome Sequence of a Low-Virulence Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus Strain
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report here the complete genome sequence (GenBank accession no. KX268728) of tick-borne encephalitis strain HB171/11, isolated from an Ixodes ricinus tick from a natural focus where human neurological disease is rare. The strain shows unique characteristics in neuroinvasiveness and neurovirulence.

Characterization and complete genome sequences of high- and low- virulence variants of tick-borne encephalitis virus.
The entire genomic sequences of two strains (Hypr and 263) of the flavivirus tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus differing in virulence from the prototypic strain Neudoerfl were determined. Strain Hypr is a human isolate of TBE virus with a high laboratory passage history which exhibits a significantly higher neuro-invasiveness in mice compared to the prototype strain. Strain 263 is a low-passa...
متن کاملInfectious cDNA clones of tick-borne encephalitis virus European subtype prototypic strain Neudoerfl and high virulence strain Hypr.
Infectious cDNA clones of two strains of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus, i.e. European subtype prototypic strain Neudoerfl and the closely related but more virulent strain Hypr, were constructed. The recombinant constructs consisted of cDNAs stably inserted into the bacterial plasmid pBR322 under the control of T7 promoter elements. The genome of TBE virus strain Neudoerfl was successfully...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus Strain A104 Isolated from a Yellow-Necked Mouse (Apodemus flavicollis) in Austria
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) strain A104 was isolated from the brain of a yellow-necked mouse in Austria in 1990. The complete genome sequence was 11,097 nucleotides long. Comparison with TBEV prototype strain Neudoerfl showed 32 amino acid exchanges and the absence of an internal poly(A) stretch within the 3' noncoding region.

Three tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) strains were isolated from Ixodes persulcatus ticks, and one was isolated from a shrew in the territory of eastern Siberia (Russia). The level of sequence identity compared to Neudoerfl (the European prototype strain) is 97.2 to 97.3%.
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of tick-borne encephalitis virus from Ixodes persulcatus in Mongolia in 2012.
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a zoonotic virus belonging to the genus Flavivirus, in the family Flaviviridae. The virus, which is endemic in Europe and northern parts of Asia, causes severe encephalitis. Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) has been reported in Mongolia since the 1980s, but details about the biological characteristics of the endemic virus are lacking. In this study, 680 tick...
