We identified a Shuni/Shamonda virus reassortant in a horse and Shuni/Caimito, Shamonda/Caimito, and Shamonda/Sango virus reassortants in Culicoides midges. Continued genomic surveillance will be needed to detect orthobunyavirus infections in Africa.en© 2025 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.HorsesShuni virusCaprine fetusSouth Africa (SA)Article
