Comparative analysis of the structural and possible non-structural proteins of seven Simbu serogroup bunyaviruses isolated in Australia revealed them all to be similar in size to those of Bunyamwera virus, the prototype of the Bunyavirus genus. The molecular weights of the structural proteins for these bunyaviruses (Akabane, Aino, Tinaroo, Douglas, Peaton, Facey's Paddock and Thimiri viruses) w...

In New Zealand, an arbovirus surveillance program has been operating for more than 20 years, which includes testing of cattle with the Akabane virus neutralization test. With the aim to replace this laborious test by an easier-to-perform enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), 2 commercial ELISA kits, ELISA-1 from France (originally from Australia) and ELISA-2 from Japan, were compared, usin...

A part of the large complex group of arboviruses is the Bunyaviridae family with over 300 members distributed over five genera. Two of the genera of veterinary importance in the family are Nairovirus, which contains the ruminant pathogen Nairobi sheep disease (NSD) virus, and the largest genus, Orthobunyavirus, which is subdivided into 48 serogroups. This genus contains only a few viruses that ...

Akabane virus (AKAV) is recognized as an important pathogen that causes abortions and congenital malformations in ruminants. However, it has not received adequate attention in Nigeria. Therefore, in investigating this disease, serum samples from 184 (abattoir and farm) head of cattle and 184 intensively reared sheep from two states in southwest Nigeria were screened for antibodies against AKAV ...

This research makes clear Dojunkai’s selling process through the case of Akabane and Ogikubo Residential Area. First, it clarifies that some applicants were excluded from lottery because they did not meet internal standards Dojunkai. It can be inferred Dojunkai carefully selected tenants who had long-term solvency. Also, was engaged in large-scale public relations activities such as housing exh...
