Mopeia virus-related arenavirus in natal multimammate mice, Morogoro, Tanzania

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 15, No. 12, Year 2009

A serosurvey involving 2,520 small mammals from Tanzania identified a hot spot of arenavirus circulation in Morogoro. Molecular screening detected a new arenavirus in Natal multimammate mice (Mastomys natalensis), Morogoro virus, related to Mopeia virus. Only a small percentage of mice carry Morogoro virus, although a large proportion shows specific antibodies.
