Tanganya virus
Tanganya virus is an enveloped, single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus, possibly of the genus Orthohantavirus. It is the second indigenous Murinae-associated African hantavirus to be discovered. It has a low sequence similarity to other hantaviruses and is serologically distinct from other hantaviruses. It was discovered in January 2004 after extraction from tissue samples taken from a Therese's shrew near the village of Tanganya, Guinea.
