Research Abstract

We isolated and identified novel arenaviruses, Luna and Lunk virus in surveillance for rodents in Zambia. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that genotype of the virus genome in each area. In order to investigate pathogenesis, the viruses were infected to mice by intraperitoneal injection. However, the viruses did not develop any symptom, such as loss of weight, debilitation and death, for mice under our observation.
