Viral diversity in wild rodents in the regions of Canaã de Carajás and Curionopólis, State of Pará, Brazil [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyWild rodents serve as crucial reservoirs for zoonotic viruses. Anthropogenic and environmental disruptions, particularly those induced by mining activities, can destabilize rodent populations and facilitate the emergence of viral agents. In the Canaã dos

Detection and Genomic Characterization of Novel Mammarenavirus in European Hedgehogs, Italy [PDF]
Emerging Infectious DiseasesMammarenaviruses are noteworthy zoonotic pathogens, and the main reservoirs are rodent species. We report the detection of a novel mammarenavirus in 6/183 (3.3%) in necropsied European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) collected in Italy. The whole-genome

Retrospective Screening for Zoonotic Viruses in Encephalitis Cases in Austria, 2019–2023, Reveals Infection with Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus but Not with Rustrela Virus or Tahyna Virus [PDF]
VirusesZoonotic viruses may be neglected as etiologies of meningoencephalitis in humans. We performed retrospective testing of cerebrospinal fluid from encephalitis cases in biobank material for three zoonotic or potentially zoonotic viruses: rustrela virus ...
