Abstract
From 1988–2023, Pará accounted for the highest proportion of deforestation among all states in the Brazilian Amazon. Specifically, 57.20 % of the territory in the Santa Bárbara municipality was deforested as of 2023. Since 2017, the Hantaviridae family has included viruses identified in nonrodent vertebrates, such as mobatviruses (from moles and bats). In the current metagenomic analysis of a pool of multiple organs of a Carollia brevicauda bat, we obtained sequences for three segments of the previously described Buritiense virus (BURV); to date, only the L segment had been sequenced for this mobatvirus. This study provides the first description of BURV in the Amazon region and provides information on the S and M segments of the virus. These findings corroborate the presence of BURV in Brazil in an area far from the site of the first detection and in another bat species.
期刊介绍:
Virus Research provides a means of fast publication for original papers on fundamental research in virology. Contributions on new developments concerning virus structure, replication, pathogenesis and evolution are encouraged. These include reports describing virus morphology, the function and antigenic analysis of virus structural components, virus genome structure and expression, analysis on virus replication processes, virus evolution in connection with antiviral interventions, effects of viruses on their host cells, particularly on the immune system, and the pathogenesis of virus infections, including oncogene activation and transduction.
