Abstract
Recently, novel arenaviruses were found in snakes with boid inclusion body disease (BIBD); these form the new genusReptarenaviruswithin the familyArenaviridae. We used next-generation sequencing andde novosequence assembly to investigate reptarenavirus isolates from our previous study. Four of the six isolates and all of the samples from snakes with BIBD contained at least two reptarenavirus species. The viruses sequenced comprise four novel reptarenavirus species and a representative of a new arenavirus genus.
