Genome sequencing identifies “Limestone Canyon virus” as Montaño virus (Hantaviridae: Orthohantavirus montanoense) circulating in brush deermice in New Mexico

open access: yesnpj Viruses
Orthohantaviruses infect distinct eulipotyphlan and rodent reservoirs throughout the world; some rodent orthohantaviruses can cause disease in humans. In the United States, a primary rodent reservoir for the human-pathogenic Sin Nombre virus (SNV) is the

Identification of Rodent Homologs of Hepatitis C Virus and Pegiviruses

open access: yesmBio, 2013
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human pegivirus (HPgV or GB virus C) are globally distributed and infect 2 to 5% of the human population. The lack of tractable-animal models for these viruses, in particular for HCV, has hampered the study of infection ...
