Deep Sequencing Unveils Phylogeographic Relationships of Juquitiba Virus in Paraguay

Abstract

Xiaomin Mike

Juquitiba Virus (JUQV) is a hantavirus primarily found in South America, known to cause Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) in humans. Understanding the phylogeographic relationships of JUQV is crucial for tracing its spread, evolution, and potential public health implications. Deep sequencing techniques have revolutionized our ability to unravel intricate genetic patterns and shed light on the dynamics of viral transmission. In this brief report, we delve into a study that utilized deep sequencing to uncover the phylogeographic relationships of JUQV in Paraguay.
