Other arboviruses detected during these seasons included MVEV, KUNV, KOKV, RRV, and
Sindbis virus (Table 3).

Sindbis virus infection causes severe arthritis, fever, and, in rare cases, encephalitis.
Geographic distribution and evolution of
Sindbis virus in Australia.
Recombinant Semliki Forest virus and
Sindbis virus efficiently infect neurons in hippocampal slice cultures.
The mice were infected with the
Sindbis virus, a mosquitoborne virus related to the West Nile virus and the eastern equine encephalitis virus.
These systems are designed to use either a recombinant canine herpesvirus or a
Sindbis virus to deliver genes to animals in a safe and effective manner.
Alphaviruses: Semliki Forest Virus and
Sindbis Virus as Gene Delivery Vectors
Culex torrentium Mos-quito Role as Major Enzootic Vector Defined by Rate of
Sindbis Virus Infection, Sweden, 2009
A few other viruses of public health importance such as Ross River virus, Getah virus, Tembusu virus and
Sindbis virus have also been isolated from wild caught Cx.
Daniel Meruelo of New York University School of Medicine and his colleagues stumbled upon this unusual medicinal property of the
Sindbis virus while seeking to exploit the virus for gene therapy.
In this study a NEUGENE agent achieved inhibition in cell culture against both the
Sindbis virus and a variety of VEE (Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis) virus, a potential bioterror agent.
Phylogenetic analysis defined 2 monophyletic groups: 1) the New World group, consisting of
Sindbis virus (SINV), Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, and Eastern equine encephalitis virus; and 2) the Old World group, consisting of Semliki Forest virus (SFV), Middelburg virus (MIDV), Ndumu virus, Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), and Barmah Forest virus (2).
