Phylogenetic Characterization of Orthohantavirus dobravaense (Dobrava Virus)

Emerg Infect Dis. 2024 Apr;30(4):779-782. doi: 10.3201/eid3004.230912.

Abstract

We report complete coding sequences of Orthohantavirus dobravaense (Dobrava virus) Igneada strains and phylogenetic characterization of all available complete coding sequences. Our analyses suggested separation of host-dependent lineages, followed by geographic clustering. Surveillance of orthohantaviruses using complete genomes would be useful for assessing public health threats from Dobrava virus.

Keywords: Dobrava virus; European Economic Area; European Union; Orthohantavirus dobravaense; airborne pathogens; epidemiology; orthohantaviruses; phylogeny; viruses; zoonoses.
