Figures & data

Figure 1. Schematic representations of bi-segmented (a) and tri-segmented (b) arenaviral genomes of the genus mammarenavirus (representative lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus with its genomic sequence designations AY847350 and AY847351 available in GenBank), genus reptarenavirus (representative Golden Gate virus with its genomic sequences JQ717264 and 717,263), genus hartmanivirus (representative Haartman institute snake virus 1 with its genomic sequences KR870017 and KR870031), genus antennavirus (representative Wenling frogfish arenavirus 1 with its genomic sequences MG599864, MG599865, and MG599863), and genus innmovirus (representative Hailar virus with its genomic sequences MW896847, MW896846, and MW896845). It is noteworthy that the genomes of the Haartman institute snake virus 1 (KR870031), Wenling frogfish arenavirus 1 (MG599863), and Hailar virus (MW896845) lack Z gene-coding sequences that are found in the genomes of the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (AY847351) and the Golden Gate virus (JQ717263). GP, glycoprotein gene; L, large protein gene; NP, nucleoprotein gene; Z, zinc-binding protein gene. Drawing adapted from that of reference #20.
