Mammal Research - In this work, we examined the relationship of Oligoryzomys longicaudatus’ (the Andes virus [ANDV] host, commonly known as the colilargo) occupancy and the cover of dominant...     

Complete genome sequence of a novel hantavirus variant of Rio Mamoré virus, Maripa virus, from French Guiana

We report the first complete genome sequence of Maripa virus identified in 2009 from a patient with hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in French Guiana. Maripa virus corresponds to a new variant of the Rio Mamoré virus species in the Bunyaviridae family, genus Hantavirus.
