CHARACTERIZATION OF JUQUITIBA VIRUS IN OLIGORYZOMYS FORNESI FROM BRAZILIAN CERRADO
Author
Affilliation
Abstract
The Juquitiba virus, an agent of Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome,
is one of the most widely distributed hantavirus found in South America. It has been
detected in Oligoryzomys nigripes, Akodon montensis, Oxymycterus judex, Akodon
paranaensis in Brazil and in O. nigripes, Oryzomys sp. and Oligoryzomys fornesi rodents
in Argentine, Paraguay and Uruguay. Here, we report the genomic characterization of the
complete S segment from the Juquitiba strain, isolated from the lung tissues of O. fornesi,
the presumed rodent reservoir of Anajatuba virus in Brazilian Amazon, captured in the
Cerrado Biome, Brazil.
