Detection of some haemorrhagic fever viruses in wild shrews collected from different habitats in Saudi Arabia: First record in the Middle East

Shrews (family Soricidae) are tiny mole-shaped mammals belong to the order Eulipotyphla. The main objective of this study is to screen wild specimens of shrews for specific RNA viruses cause hemorrhagic fevers. Wild specimens of shrews were collected from rural areas in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.Colle...
