Abstract

We isolated and characterized a Banna virus from mosquitoes in Vietnam; 5 strains were isolated from field-caught mosquitoes at various locations; Banna virus was previously isolated from encephalitis patients in Yunnan, China, in 1987. Together, these findings suggest widespread distribution of this virus throughout Southeast Asia.

Phylogenetic trees of representative segments of Banna virus genomic RNA. A) Segment 2, encoding VP2, inner-layer coat protein. B) Segment 6, VP6, nonstructural protein, function is unknown. C) Segment 9, VP9, outer-layer attachment protein. D) Segment 12, VP12, dsRNA-binding protein. Clusters were numbered according to the clustering type classification presented in Table 2.
