Abstract

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis mammarenavirus

French Guiana

Complete sequence

Mouse

Thirty-seven house mice (Mus musculus, Rodentia) caught in different localities in French Guiana were screened to investigate the presence of lymphocytic choriomeningitis mammarenavirus (LCMV). Two animals trapped in an urban area were found positive, hosting a new strain of LCMV, that we tentatively named LCMV " Comou ". The complete sequence was determined using a metagenomic approach. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that this strain is related to genetic lineage I composed of strains inducing severe disease in humans. These results emphasize the need for active surveillance in humans as well as in house mouse populations, which is a rather common rodent in French Guianese cities and settlements.

Grant note: This study was conducted within the “BioViRo” program, supported by an “Investissement d'Avenir” grant managed by Agence Nationale de la Recherche (CEBA, ref. ANR-10-LABX-25-01) and a European commission “REGPOT-CT-2011-285837-STRonGer” grant within the FP7. Field work conducted by BdT was funded by the ViRUSES program, supported by European funds (FEDER) and assistance from Région Guyane and Direction Régionale pour la Recherche et la Technologie, the ZNIEFF Guyane (DEAL Guyane) program, the GUYAMAZON II program, and FC in Trois Palétuviers was funded by Réseau des Observatoires Hommes-Milieux (OHM-Oyapok APR 2013). High throughput sequencing was performed on the Genomics Platform, member of the “France Génomique” consortium (ANR10-INBS-09-08), and we thank Magali Tichit for her technical assistance during this sequencing stage.
