  • Epidemiology of Shuni virus in horses in South Africa 
    Motlou, Thopisang; Williams, June Heather; Venter, Marietjie (MDPI, 2021-05-19)
    The Orthobunyavirus genus, family Peribunyaviridae, contains several important emerging and re-emerging arboviruses of veterinary and medical importance. These viruses may cause mild febrile illness, to severe encephalitis, ...
  • Genomic and phylogenetic characterization of Shuni virus 
    Van Eeden, Charmaine; Harders, Frank; Kortekaas, Jeroen; Bossers, Alex; Venter, Marietjie (Springer, 2014-06)
    Shuni virus (SHUV), a member of the genus Orthobunyavirus, has in a recent study been associated with neurological disease in horses in South Africa. After its first isolation in 1966 from an asymptomatic bovine, very ...
  • Reverse genetics system for shuni virus, an emerging orthobunyavirus with zoonotic potential 
    Oymans, Judith; Wichgers Schreur, Paul J.; Van Oort, Sophie; Vloet, Rianka; Venter, Marietjie; Pijlman, Gorben P.; Van Oers, Monique M.; Kortekaas, Jeroen (MDPI, 2020-04)
    The genus Orthobunyavirus (family Peribunyaviridae, order Bunyavirales) comprises over 170 named mosquito- and midge-borne viruses, several of which cause severe disease in animals or humans. Their three-segmented genomes ...
  • A sensitive nested real-time RT-PCR for the detection of Shuni virus 
    Van Eeden, Charmaine; Zaayman, Dewald; Venter, Marietjie (Elsevier, 2014-01)
    Recently Shuni virus (SHUV) has been identified in clinical cases of neurological disease in horses in South Africa. Being that it was one of the less recognized orthobunyaviruses, with limited clinical descriptions of ...
  • Shuni virus in cases of neurologic disease in humans, South Africa 
    Motlou, Thopisang; Venter, Marietjie (Coordinating Center for Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2021-02)
    We describe Shuni virus (SHUV) detection in human neurologic disease cases in South Africa. SHUV RNA was identified in 5% of cerebrospinal fluid specimens collected during the arbovirus season from public sector hospitals. ...
