Two Mus musculus domesticus trapped in the southwestern part of France were infected with a potentially new strain of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), here referred to as LCMV strain HP65-2009, which was isolated and genetically characterized by whole genome sequencing. Genetic and phylogenetic analyses comparing LCMV HP65-2009 with 26 other LCMV strains showed that it represents a novel highly-divergent strain within the group of Mus musculus-associated LCMV. specialized Arenavirus Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus Mus musculus Screening FRANCE 052 080 12 10 893-903 2012 1530-3667 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010078778 10.1089/vbz.2011.0892 1530-3667 [F B010078778] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010078778 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/depot/2020-10-09/010078778.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2012-11-30 2020-10-13 fdi:010078778 fre
