A new virus, named Mutum virus, related to members of the family Tymoviridae, was isolated from mosquitoes (Mansonia spp.) in clone C6/36 cells, and its complete genome was sequenced. Its genome is 6494 nt in size with an organization resembling that of tymovirids. The isolated virus is phylogenetically related to two viruses isolated from Culex spp. mosquitoes: Ek Balam virus, reported in Mexico, and Culex-originated Tymoviridae-like virus, isolated in China. The results of this study suggest that this virus is a new member of the family Tymoviridae.
一种名为 Mutum 病毒的新病毒,与 Tymoviridae 科的成员有关,从蚊子(Mansonia spp.)中分离出来,并对其完整基因组进行了测序。其基因组大小为 6494 个核苷酸,其组织类似于 tymovirids。分离出的病毒与从 Culex spp.蚊子中分离出的两种病毒在系统进化上有关:一种是在墨西哥报道的 Ek Balam 病毒,另一种是在中国分离出的 Culex 起源的 Tymoviridae 样病毒。本研究结果表明,该病毒是 Tymoviridae 科的一个新成员。
