Abstract

ABSTRACT Wenzhou mammarenavirus (WENV) is a novel species of Arenavirus that was first detected in China. We report here a novel WENV variant (WENV G107) from liver samples of Rattus norvegicus that shares 84.7% to 86.8% (large [L] segment) and 84.2% to 87.8% (small [S] segment) nucleotide sequence identity with its closest relative. The genomic characteristics were analyzed based on the whole genome of WENV G107.
