摘要: Nova hantavirus (NVAV) was first identified in a single European mole (Talpa europaea), captured Hungary. Analysis of lung tissues from 94 moles France revealed NVAV 50%. Based on the genetic diversity cytochrome b mtDNA, collected Poitiers and Bordeaux were more closely related to Iberian (T. occidentalis), species previously assumed be restricted Peninsula. Several hypotheses are discussed explain these observations: 1) presence hitherto unnoticed T. occidentalis southwestern France; 2) existence an ancient mitochondrial introgression phenomenon between two Talpa species, producing particular phenotype some hybrids; 3) hybrid zone species; 4) new species. not detected moles, which begs question potential Hantavirus sp. this population and/or moles.
