Mouyassue virus is a novel, single-stranded, enveloped, negative-sense RNA orthohantavirus.[1]
Natural reservoir
[edit]The banana pipistrelle (Neoromicia nanus) found in the Côte d'Ivoire is the natural reservoir of Mouyassue virus.[2] It shares a common lineage with the Magboi virus (MGBV) found in the hairy slit-faced bat (Nycteris hispida) in Sierra Leone [3]
