چکیده
An inhibitory effect of certain viruses on the growth of transplantable tumors in mice has been demonstrated by Moore and co-workers (6—8)and by Kaprowski and Norton (4). Turner and Mulli ken (11) have reported a slightly increased sur viva! rate in one strain of mouse leukemia (9417) after inoculation of vaccinia virus, but two other strains (1894 and C1498) were unaffected. Sharp less (9) has demonstrated complete eradication of leukosis in fowl following inoculation of Russian spring-summer encephalitis virus. The present communication reports the suppressive effect of West Nile and flheus encephalitis viruses on two strains of mouse leukemia, as determined by serial blood counts.

The effect of Russian encephalitis and other viruses on mouse leukemia.
The inhibition of the leukocytosis and leukemic infiltration of mouse leukemia by concurrent in fection with West Nile and Ilheus viruses has been previously reported (8). There was slight, but probably insignificant, prolongation of survival time in those studies. The present paper reports a similar effect of Russian spring-summer en cephalitis virus (R.S.S.E.) and presents results of a survey...
متن کاملDetection of the mosquito-borne flaviviruses, West Nile, Dengue, Saint Louis Encephalitis, Ilheus, Bussuquara, and Yellow Fever in free-ranging black howlers (Alouatta caraya) of Northeastern Argentina
Several medically important mosquito-borne flaviviruses have been detected in Argentina in recent years: Dengue (DENV), St. Louis encephalitis (SLEV), West Nile (WNV) and Yellow Fever (YFV) viruses. Evidence of Bussuquara virus (BSQV) and Ilheus virus (ILHV) activity were found, but they have not been associated with human disease. Non-human primates can act as important hosts in the natural cy...
متن کاملDetection of RNA from a novel West Nile-like virus and high prevalence of an insect-specific flavivirus in mosquitoes in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.
As part of our ongoing surveillance efforts for West Nile virus (WNV) in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, 96,687 mosquitoes collected from January through December 2007 were assayed by virus isolation in mammalian cells. Three mosquito pools caused cytopathic effect. Two isolates were orthobunyaviruses (Cache Valley virus and Kairi virus) and the identity of the third infectious agent was not d...
متن کاملIlheus Virus Isolation in the Pantanal, West-Central Brazil
The wetlands of the Brazilian Pantanal host large concentrations of diverse wildlife species and hematophagous arthropods, conditions that favor the circulation of zoonotic arboviruses. A recent study from the Nhecolândia sub-region of Pantanal reported serological evidence of various flaviviruses, including West Nile virus and Ilheus virus (ILHV). According to the age of seropositive horses, a...
متن کاملNeutralising antibodies for West Nile virus in horses from Brazilian Pantanal.
Despite evidence of West Nile virus (WNV) activity in Colombia, Venezuela and Argentina, this virus has not been reported in most South American countries. In February 2009, we commenced an investigation for WNV in mosquitoes, horses and caimans from the Pantanal, Central-West Brazil. The sera of 168 horses and 30 caimans were initially tested using a flaviviruses-specific epitope-blocking enzy...
