Abstract
- Viruses in the genus Orthohantavirus within the family Hantaviridae cause human hantavirus infections and represent a threat to public health. Hokkaido virus (HOKV), a genotype of Orthohantavirus puumalaense (Puumala virus; PUUV), was first identified in Tobetsu, Hokkaido, Japan. Although it is genetically related to the prototype of PUUV, the evolutionary pathway of HOKV is unclear. We conducted a field survey in a forest in Tobetsu in 2022 and captured 44 rodents. Complete coding genome sequences of HOKVs were obtained from five viral-RNA-positive rodents (four Myodes rufocanus bedfordiae and one Apodemus speciosus). Phylogenetic analysis revealed a close relationship between the phylogenies and geographical origins of M. rufocanus-related orthohantaviruses. Comparison of the phylogenetic trees of the S segments of orthohantaviruses and the cytochrome b genes of Myodes species suggested that Myodes-related orthohantaviruses evolved in Myodes rodent species as a result of genetic isolation and host switching.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
