Species of virus
Sangassou orthohantavirus
(SANGV)
is single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus species of the genus
Orthohantavirus
in the
Bunyavirales
order. It was first isolated in an African wood mouse (
Hylomyscus simus
) in the forest in
Guinea
,
West Africa
in 2010. It is named for the village near where the mouse was trapped. It is the first indigenous
Murinae
-associated African hantavirus to be discovered.

Genome
[
edit
]
The virus
genome
consists of three segments of negative-stranded RNA; the large (L) segment encodes the viral
RNA-dependent RNA polymerase
, the medium (M) segment encodes the
envelope
glycoproteins Gn and Gc (cotranslationally cleaved from a
glycoprotein
precursor), and the small (S) segment encodes the
nucleocapsid
(N) protein.

Renal syndrome
[
edit

In rodents, hantavirus produces a chronic infection with no adverse
sequelae
. In humans, hantavirus produces two major clinical syndromes:
hemorrhagic fever
or
pulmonary syndrome
. European, Asian, and African rodent-borne hantaviruses cause hemorrhagic fever. The pulmonary syndrome, caused by the species
Sin Nombre orthohantavirus
,
has not been found anywhere other than the United States

where
deer mice
are the natural hosts. It was discovered in 1993 during an
outbreak
in the
Four Corners
region of the southwestern United States.

Reservoirs
[
edit
]
Natural reservoirs
for this hantavirus species include the
slit faced bat
,
moles
, and
shrews
. Rodent-borne hantaviruses form three major evolutionary
clades
corresponding to the subfamilies of their rodent hosts.
HTNV
,
SEOV
, and
DOBV
are examples of Murinae-associated hantaviruses.
PUUV
and
Tula orthohantavirus
(TULV) belong to the
Arvicolinae
-associated hantaviruses, and
SNV
and
ANDV
are representatives of
Neotominae
- and
Sigmodontinae
-associated hantaviruses.
