Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis associated with novel
bunyavirus infection--case report.
La Crosse virus (LAC virus) is part of the California serogroup in the family Bunyaviridae in the genus
Bunyavirus. LAC virus is a negative sense, single-stranded RNA viruses with an envelope (Figure 7-7).
Although no human congenital infection with a
bunyavirus of the California serogroup has been reported, congenital infection with other bunyaviruses of the Bunyamwera serogroup has been associated with macrocephaly.
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome associated with a novel
bunyavirus. In: Ergonul O, Can F, Akova M, Madoff L, editors.
japonicus mosquitoes are capable of transovarial transmission, as is the case with La Crosse virus, another
bunyavirus (14), these mosquitoes could then contribute to concentrating the virus within this limited geographic area.
Investigations on the presence of antibodies to alphaviruses, flaviviruses,
Bunyavirus and Kemerovo virus in humans and some domestic animals.
Furthermore, given the apparent extent of this problem and the widespread availability and modest costs associated with RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing, it may be prudent to recommend routinely incorporating at least partial genetic characterization as a part of the identification process for all new
bunyavirus isolates.
California encephalitis, hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, and
bunyavirus hemorrhagic fevers.
Heartland virus (HRTV) is a novel
bunyavirus (family Bunyaviridae, genus Phlebovirus) first identified in the United States in 2 persons with thrombocytopenia/ leukopenia in Missouri in 2009 (1).
