A new arenavirus, called Sabiá, was isolated in Brazil from a fatal case of haemorrhagic fever initially thought to be yellow fever. Antigenic and molecular characterisation indicated that Sabiá virus is a new member of the Tacaribe complex. A laboratory technician working with the agent was also infected and developed a prolonged, non-fatal influenza-like illness. Sabiá virus is yet another arenavirus causing human disease in South America.
一种名为萨比亚的新型沙粒病毒在巴西从一例最初被认为是黄热病的出血热死亡病例中分离出来。抗原和分子特征表明,萨比亚病毒是塔卡里贝病毒群的一个新成员。一名从事该病原体研究的实验室技术人员也受到感染,并患上了一种持续时间较长的、非致命的流感样疾病。萨比亚病毒是南美洲又一种可导致人类疾病的沙粒病毒。
