We isolated and characterized a MADV isolate obtained from a horse in Brazil. Our results support previous phylogenetic studies showing there are three genetically distinct MADV lineages. The MADV isolate from Paraiba State belongs to the South American lineage III and is closely related to Peruvian, Colombian and Venezuelan isolates.990-993engarbovirusesAlphavirushorseeastern equine encephalitis virusMadariaga virusArtigo10.1111/tbed.12441WOS:000400161300033Acesso restrito
