T1 - Dobrava-Belgrade Virus Spillover Infections, Germany T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2009 VL - 15 IS - 12 SP - 2017 SN - 1080-6059 AB - We present the molecular identification of Apodemus agrarius (striped field mouse) as reservoir host of the Dobrava-Belgrade virus (DOBV) lineage DOBV-Aa in 3 federal states of Germany. Phylogenetic analyses provided evidence for multiple spillover of DOBV-Aa to A. flavicollis, a crucial prerequisite for host switch and genetic reassortment.
