Viral metagenomics demonstrates that domestic pigs are a potential reservoir for Ndumu virus

Sammanfattning

Conclusions: This is the first report of the domestic pig as a vertebrate host for Ndumu virus. NDUV had been previously isolated only from culicine mosquitoes. NDUV therefore represents a potential zoonotic pathogen, particularly given the increasing risk of human-livestock-mosquito contact.
