| khabarovsk virus: a phylogenetically and serologically distinct hantavirus isolated from microtus fortis trapped in far-east russia. | two hantavirus strains, mf43 and mf113, isolated from microtus fortis trapped in the khabarovsk region of far-eastern russia, were analysed by direct nucleotide sequencing of pcr generated fragments of the m and s segments, by immunofluorescence and by focus reduction neutralization tests (frnt). the nucleotide sequences revealed that the two isolates were closely related to each other but distinct from all other hantaviruses. phylogenetic analysis of the m and s segments showed that the mf stra ... | 1996 | 8627257 |
| genetic diversities of hantaviruses among rodents in hokkaido, japan and far east russia. | seroepizootiologic surveys among wild rodents were carried out in japan and far east russia in 1995 and 1996. seropositive animals were only identified in clethrionomys rufocanus (23/134) in hokkaido, japan. on the other hand, seropositives were identified in c. rufocanus (1/8), apodemus agrarius (2/66), apodemus spp. (2/26) and microtus fortis (3/22) in vladivostok, far east russia. total rna was isolated from lungs of seropositive animals and the s genome segments were amplified by pcr, cloned ... | 1999 | 10082393 |
| serological analysis of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) patients in far eastern russia and identification of the causative hantavirus genotype. | hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) is endemic in east asia and europe. the disease is caused by several viruses belonging to the genus hantavirus, including the hantaan virus (htnv), seoul virus (seov), dobrava belgrade virus (dobv), and puumala virus (puuv). recently, htnv-related viruses, amur (amr) and far east (fe) genotypes were identified as causative agents of hfrs in far eastern russia. to investigate the epidemiology of hfrs and virus transmission, we collected sera from 17 ac ... | 2003 | 12898330 |
| [amplification test-systems in the diagnosis of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome and in studies of viral pathogens]. | the "vectohantivirus-ampli" test system based on rtpcr was shown as fitting the detection of virus rna in blood samples of patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) made at early stages and no later than 7 days from the disease onset. a sequence analysis of viral nucleotide sequences of pcr products produced by the test-system ensured the identification of hantaviruses (pathogens of hfrs). two genetic variants of puumula virus were shown to circulate in the territory of the bash ... | 2004 | 15455692 |
