Abstract
Small mammals harbor various zoonotic viruses and are natural reservoirs for emerging viruses. Here, we identified a novel orthonairovirus, which is genetically close to the virus suggested the association with human neural diseases. The virus was found in 24.6% of the small mammals captured in Gabon, Central Africa.
