The closed Lake Issyk-Kul as an indicator of global warming in Tien-Shan

Complete Genomic Sequence of Issyk-Kul Virus

Issyk-Kul virus (ISKV) is an ungrouped virus tentatively assigned to the Bunyaviridae family and is associated with an acute febrile illness in several central Asian countries. Using next-generation sequencing technologies, we report here the full-genome sequence for this novel unclassified arboviral pathogen circulating in central Asia.

Rapid deep-water renewal in Lake Issyk-Kul (Kyrgyzstan) indicated by transient tracers

Simultaneous profiles of the transient tracers sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), 3H-3He, and the chlorofluorocarbons CFC-11 and CFC-12 were measured in Lake Issyk-Kul, a large, deep lake in Kyrgyzstan. Apparent water ages derived from these measurements suggest rapid mixing, with a deepwater renewal rate .10% yr21 at 650 m depth. SF6 and 3H3He ages agree reasonably well, whereas CFC ages are significa...

Deep-water renewal in Lake Issyk-Kul driven by differential cooling

During two field campaigns on Lake Issyk-Kul in March and August 2001, 179 high-resolution conductivitytemperature-depth profiles were measured, along with profiles of dissolved oxygen and light transmission. On the basis of this extensive data set, we investigated the large-scale vertical advective processes responsible for deepwater renewal in Lake Issyk-Kul. At some locations sampled in Marc...

Detection of Antibodies against Blue Tongue Virus in Yaks (bos Grunniens) in Issyk Kul, First Report

Bluetongue virus (BTV) caused infection is commonly determined in ruminants including sheep and cattle. However, there is a little information about the seroprevalence of BTV in yaks. The aim of this study was to describe the seroprevalence rate BTV in unvaccinated yaks in Issyk Kul, Kyrgyzstan. A total of 168 serum samples were collected from yaks between September to November 2012. Antibodies...
