Now we have what we need: A98.4, Ebola virus disease, nestled between A98.1,
Omsk hemorrhagic fever; and A98.8, Other specified viral hemorrhagic fevers.
Revised and updated, with full color illustrations, this edition addresses new topics like terrorism, increasing antimicrobial resistance, and climate and ecologic changes, and has new diagrams and new chapters on vaccines, SARS, hepatitis, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, tick-borne encephalitis and
Omsk hemorrhagic fever, human papillomavirus, and mucormycosis.
Results of sequence alignment and homology analysis performed with MegAlign software of DNASTAR (Madison, WI, USA) showed that the 654-bp PrM gene of Nanjianyin virus was 99.6% identical to that of KFD virus (Itp9605 strain), 99.4% identical to that of KFD virus (EU480489), 98.2% identical to that of KFD virus (X74111), but only 90.4% identical to that of Alkhurma hemorrhagic fever (AFH) virus (1176 strain), and only 57.2% to 64.3% identical to the 654-bp PrM genes of other tick-borne encephalitis complex viruses such as
Omsk hemorrhagic fever virus (Kubrin strain), tick-borne encephalitis virus (Sengzhang strain), Powassan virus (LB strain), and Langat virus (TP21 strain).
We found no published reports describing a hemorrhagic disease caused by TBEV, although hemorrhagic manifestation is typical for tick-borne flaviviruses, including
Omsk hemorrhagic fever virus (OHFV), Alkhurma virus, and Kyasanur Forest disease virus (9).
Omsk hemorrhagic fever is a zoonosis caused by a flavivirus; the infection is transmitted by muskrats during trapping.
