| molecular characterization of a novel ljungan virus (parechovirus; picornaviridae) reveals a fourth genotype and indicates ancestral recombination. | ljungan virus (lv) was discovered 20 years ago in swedish bank voles (myodes glareolus, previously referred to as clethrionomys glareolus) during the search for an infectious agent causing lethal myocarditis in young athletes. to date, the genomes of four lv isolates, including the prototype 87-012 strain, have been characterized. three of these lv strains were isolated from bank voles trapped in sweden. sequence analysis of an american virus (m1146), isolated from a montane vole (microtus monta ... | 2009 | 19264646 |
