SHINING A SPOTLIGHT ON AFRICAN RESEARCH

Hantavirus in African wood mouse, Guinea

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 12, No. 5, Year 2006

Hantaviruses are rodentborne, emerging viruses that cause life-threatening human diseases in Eurasia and the Americas. We detected hantavirus genome sequences in an African wood mouse (Hylomyscus simus) captured in Sangassou, Guinea. Sequence and phylogenetic analyses of the genetic material demonstrate a novel hantavirus species, which we propose to name "Sangassou virus".
