Genome Sequences of Five Arenaviruses from Pygmy Mice (Mus minutoides) in Sierra Leone

Abstract

The genome sequences of five strains of a mammarenavirus were assembled from metagenomic data from pygmy mice ( Mus minutoides ) captured in Sierra Leone. The nearest fully sequenced relatives of this virus, which was named Seli virus, are lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, Lunk virus, and Ryukyu virus.
