为了调查赞比亚的ArenaVirus病毒，我们从捕获的263只啮齿动物中鉴定了5只ArenaVirus RNA阳性啮齿动物的肾脏病毒。这些病毒的全基因组序列表明它们是与拉萨病毒相关的阿雷纳病毒相似的新毒株。分析来自其他啮齿动物和其他物种的样本可以阐明ArenaVirus的动物流行病学方面。
To investigate arenavirus in Zambia, we characterized virus from the kidneys of 5 arenavirus RNA–positive rodents (Mastomys natalensis) among 263 captured. Full-genome sequences of the viruses suggested that they were new strains similar to Lassa virus–related arenaviruses. Analyzing samples from additional rodents and other species can elucidate epizootiologic aspects of arenaviruses.
