Aporé virus, a novel mammarenavirus (Bunyavirales: Arenaviridae) related to highly pathogenic virus from South America. Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz. 2019;114:e180586 Authors: Fernandes J, Guterres A, de Oliveira RC, Jardim R, Dávila AMR, Hewson R, de Lemos ERS Abstract Here, we report the complete genome sequence of the Aporé virus (Bunyavirales: Arenaviridae), obtained from a wild rodent Oligoryzomys mattogrossae captured in Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil. The genome of this virus showed strong similarity to highly pathogenic mammarenavirus from South America. PMID: 31141019 [PubMed - in process]
