Abstract

Schmallenberg virus (SBV), an orthobunyavirus of the Simbu serogroup, recently emerged in Europe and has been suggested to be a Shamonda/Sathuperi virus reassortant. Results of full-genome and serologic investigations indicate that SBV belongs to the species Sathuperi virus and is a possible ancestor of the reassortant Shamonda virus.

Maximum-likelihood trees showing phylogenetic relationships of Simbu serogroup viruses for the M (A), L (B), and S (C) coding regions. The bar plot in panel A indicates the percentage of titer reduction of each virus by anti–Schmallenberg virus serum. GenBank accession numbers are shown. Numbers at nodes indicate percentage of 1,000 bootstrap replicates (values <50 are not shown). Scale bars indicate nucleotide substitutions per site.
