Figure 2. Schematic representation of the bisegmented genome organization of the Erinaceus Europaeus arenaviruses (EEAVs) detected in study of detection and genomic characterization of novel mammarenavirus in European hedgehogs, Italy, from 5′ to 3′ ends. A) The EEAV S genome segment (3,568 nt) coding for the putative GPC (1,464 nt) and NP (1,818 nt) proteins. B) The EEAV L genome segment (7,348 nt) encoding the putative Z (276 nt) and L proteins (6,714 nt). The proteins are shown in different shades of gray. Arrows indicate the direction of open reading frames. GPC, glycoprotein precursor; L, large; NP, nucleoprotein; S, small; Z, zinc-encoded matrix.
