Characterization of the Salehabad virus species complex of the genus Phlebovirus (Bunyaviridae)

Abstract

Genomic and antigenic characterization of the Salehabad virus, a species of the genus Phlebovirus, and four other unclassified phleboviruses (Arbia, Adria, Arumowot and Odrenisrou) demonstrate a serological and genetic relation to one another and are distinct from the eight other recognized species within the genus Phlebovirus. We propose to incorporate these four unclassified viruses as part of the Salehabad species complex within the genus. The known geographical distribution for the members of this species group includes southern Europe, Central Asia and Africa.

Phylogenetic analysis of select phlebovirus (a) L, (b) M, (c) N and NS ORFs. Neighbour-joining analysis at the amino acid level was performed due to the high variability of the underlying nucleotide sequences. The statistical significance of the tree topology was evaluated by bootstrap resampling of the sequences 1000 times.
