Machiguenga MMD 3 1984
The strain was isolated in 1970 from the kidney of an opossum (Philander opossum) trapped in the Peruvian jungle near Puerto Maldonada and was published by Liceras de Hidalgo et al. (1984) as a new serovar named machiguenga, reference strain MMD 3, in the Icterohaemorrhagiae serogroup. Being found to be serologically more related to members of the reestablished Sarmin group, it was placed in that group in the Revised List (1988), but still under provisional status (Kmety & Dikken, 1988). Later its serovar status was confirmed by a RL and recognized by the TSC (Osaka, 1990). It is therefore included in the attached updated list unconditionally.
