Abstract excerpt
Juquitiba virus (JUQV) is endemic in Oligoryzomys nigripes across several South American countries and causes hantavirus pulmonary syndrome when transmitted to humans via infectious saliva or excreta. We developed a next-generation sequencing (NGS) pipeline to generate the first complete reference genome for assessing the genetic diversity of JUQV in Oligoryzomys populations inhabiting the Mbaracayú Biosphere...
