Punta Toro virus (PTV), a member of the PTV complex, is a relatively common causative agent of febrile illness in Panama that is often misdiagnosed as 'dengue' or 'influenza'. Currently, only two named members make up this species complex, PTV and Buenaventura virus (BUEV). Genomic and antigenic characterization of 17 members of the PTV complex, nine of which were isolated from human acute febrile illness cases, reveals that this species complex is composed of six distant viruses. We propose to add four additional new viruses, designated Leticia virus, Cocle virus, Campana virus and Capira virus.
蓬塔托罗病毒（PTV）是PTV病毒复合体的成员，是巴拿马发热性疾病相对常见的病原体，常被误诊为“登革热”或“流感”。目前，该病毒复合体仅由两个命名成员组成，即PTV和布埃纳文图拉病毒（BUEV）。对PTV病毒复合体的17个成员进行基因组和抗原特征分析，其中9个是从人类急性发热性疾病病例中分离出来的，结果显示该病毒复合体由6种远缘病毒组成。我们建议增加另外4种新病毒，分别命名为莱蒂西亚病毒、科克莱病毒、坎帕纳病毒和卡皮拉病毒。
