Characterization of Juquitiba virus in Oligoryzomys fornesi from Brazilian Cerrado

Alexandro Guterres et al. Viruses. .

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.

Phylogenetic relationships among hantaviruses based on a Bayesian analysis of genetic distances generated from comparisons of the nucleocapsid protein gene partial sequences (935 nt). The scale bar indicates a sequence divergence of 0.2. The numerical value at the node indicates the posterior probability (pp) replicates that supported the interior branch. The branch labels include GenBank® accession number and viral species or strain (Access number: Genbank® LBCE_Olfo_12070-KF913849, LBCE_Olfo_12071-KF913850).
