In 1999, two viruses were isolated from blood samples of sentinel cattle in the Western part of Japan. The physiochemical and morphological properties of these viruses indicated that they belonged to the family Bunyaviridae. Sequence analysis of the S segment indicates that the two viruses are closely related to Sathuperi virus (SATV). The N-terminal 168 amino acid of the G2 protein of the M segment was highly homologous with that of SATV (98.2%). Given these results, we conclude that the newly isolated viruses are closest to SATV, which was initially isolated in India and Nigeria over 30 years ago.
1999年,从日本西部哨兵牛的血液样本中分离出两种病毒。这些病毒的理化和形态学特性表明它们属于布尼亚病毒科。S片段的序列分析表明,这两种病毒与萨图佩里病毒(SATV)密切相关。M片段G2蛋白的N端168个氨基酸与SATV的高度同源(98.2%)。基于这些结果,我们得出结论,新分离出的病毒与SATV关系最为密切,SATV于30多年前最初在印度和尼日利亚分离得到。
