AI Article Synopsis
- Hantaviruses are RNA viruses that primarily cause diseases in humans, particularly in regions like Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
- Besides rodents, bats and insectivores also carry these viruses as reservoirs.
- A new hantavirus, named Brno virus, was discovered from a common noctule bat, with its genome being characterized in this study.
Article Abstract
Hantaviruses are emerging RNA viruses that cause human diseases predominantly in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Besides rodents, insectivores and bats serve as hantavirus reservoirs. We report the detection and genome characterization of a novel bat-borne hantavirus isolated from insectivorous common noctule bat. The newfound virus was tentatively named as Brno virus.
