Genome Sequencing of Historical Encephalomyocarditis Viruses from South Africa Links the Historical 1993/4 Savanna Elephant (<i>Loxodonta africana</i>) Outbreak to Cryptic <i>Mastomys</i> Rodents

From 1993 to 1994, 64 free-ranging elephants (<i>Loxodonta africana</i>) succumbed to encephalomyocarditis in the Kruger National Park, South Africa, of which 83% were adult bulls. <i>Mastomys</i> rodents were implicated as the reservoir host of the <i>Encephalomyocardi...
