Complete genome sequence of a novel hantavirus variant of Rio Mamoré virus, Maripa virus, from French Guiana

J Virol. 2012 May;86(9):5399. doi: 10.1128/JVI.00337-12.

Abstract

We report the first complete genome sequence of Maripa virus identified in 2009 from a patient with hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in French Guiana. Maripa virus corresponds to a new variant of the Rio Mamoré virus species in the Bunyaviridae family, genus Hantavirus.
