Discovery and biological confirmation of a highly divergent Tacaribe virus in metatranscriptomic data from neotropical bats
11 Sept 2024
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT First isolated from neotropical fruit bats in Trinidad in 1956, Tacaribe virus (TCRV) has rarely been detected since. We searched for New World arenavirus reads in roughly 5.7 million sequencing runs available on public databases using Serratus. We recovered a complete genome of a divergent TCRV in metatranscriptomic data derived from heart and eye tissue of an adult male Jamaican fruit-eating bat...
