Molecular evolutionary analysis of the lineages leading to the current MV Hondius Andes virus outbreak This is an informal analysis and is not intended as a formal preprint or manuscript in its current form. The aim of this analysis was to estimate the timing of the closest sampled common ancestors to the lineage leading to the current outbreak and to characterise mutations accumulated on the stem branch leading to that lineage. Overall, our results support a rodent-reservoir source within Andes virus diversity and place the closest sampled/common ancestor of the current outbreak lineage in approximately the late 1990s in the most informative M segment analysis, with a broader and older estimate from the S segment. https://virological.org/t/molecular-evolutionary-analysis-of-the-lineages-leading-to-the-current-mv-hondius-andes-virus-outbreak/1038/1 #ANDV #AndesVirus #Hantavirus #Virology
