| catarina virus, an arenaviral species principally associated with neotoma micropus (southern plains woodrat) in texas. | the purpose of this study was to define the taxonomic relationship of an arenavirus principally associated with the southern plains woodrat (neotoma micropus) in southern texas to other new world arenaviruses. the results of independent analyses of glycoprotein precursor amino acid sequences and nucleocapsid protein amino acid sequences indicated that the arenavirus in southern texas is novel (proposed species name catarina virus) and phylogenetically most closely related to whitewater arroyo vi ... | 2007 | 17978080 |
