“…Thus, Leanyer virus is a bunyavirus-like virus, isolated only in Australia to the present time. Analyses of other possible members of the Bunyaviridae that were also originally isolated in Australia have shown that they are either (a) clearly bunyaviruses, e.g., viruses within the Sinibu serogroup (McPhee and Deila-Porta, 1981), or (b) closely resemble bunyaviruses, e.g., Mapputta, Kowanyama (McPhee, personal communication) and Belmont viruses (McPhee and Westaway, 1981a). Because of the medical and veterinary importance of many tnembers of the Bunya-viridae (Bishop and Shope, 1979), al!…”

Summary The properties of Leanyer virus, isolated in Northern Australia in 1974, were compared with those of Bunyamwera virus. Leanyer virus replicated in BHK‐21 and Vero cells. In sucrose gradients it had a density of 1·17 g/cm3 and sedimented with the same S value as Bunyamwera virus. The diameter of negatively stained virions was approximately 110 nm. Three species of RNA sedimenting at 30S (L), 26S (M) and 14S (S) and four virion proteins (L, G1, G2, N) were detected in preparations of purified virions. The results were consistent with the classification of Leanyer virus as a member of the family Bunyaviridae, possibly within the Bunyavirus genus.

“…Australia. The sources of Kunjin virus and Bunyamwera virus have been described, as well as the source, growth and infection of Vero and BHK-21 Clone 13 cells (Westaway, 1973;McPhee and Westaway, 1981a). Cells were infected with a 10% (w/v) suspension of infected suckling mouse brain.…”

“…Each of the known Simbu serogroup viruses from virus pools of infected suckling mouse brain was recloned three times by plaque assay and growth in Vero cells, the plaque from the last clone being used to grow stock pools. Growth and maintenance of Vero and BHK-21/13 cells have been described previously (McPhee & Westaway, 1981a).…”

“…Viruses have been assigned to individual genera primarily on serological and morphological criteria; more recently these assignments have been substantiated by biochemical analyses. Of the 17 known and possible members of the Bunyaviridae isolated in Australia, protein analyses using PAGE of virion and virus-specified proteins for seven of them have shown all viruses to be bunyaviruses (supported by serological evidence) or bunyavirus-like (biochemically similar to viruses of the Bunyavirus genus) McPhee & Westaway, 1981a;D.A. McPhee, unpublished data).…”

The 12 vertex capsomers (pentons) carry strain-characteristic glycoprotein fibers (1O-30-nm long) with knobs at the ends; the rest is made up of hexons. The genome is linear doublestranded DNA of 20-25 x 10 6 daltons in the mammalian and 28-30 x 10 6 daltons in the avian viruses. At least ten proteins of 5-120 x 10 3 daltons make up the virion. Each adenovirus has a narrow host range. Several are oncogenic in newborn nonhosts. Serological relations among the many different adenoviruses usually called "types" are very limited. Two genera have been defined (MASTAOENOVIRUS and AVIADENOVIRUSi subgroups AD or I-IV), and species names for those found in various animals have been proposed with h1-h34 for the (sero)types of the human virus species. Similar differentiation of serotypes are used for the animal adenoviruses (27 simian, ten bovine, eight avian, four porcine, two canine, and one ovine and opossum in 1979). Adenoviruses generally cause only light upper respiratory diseases (Figure 1).
