| characterization of truncated hantavirus nucleocapsid proteins and their application for serotyping. | hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) is a fulminant infectious disease characterized by fever, hemorrhage, renal impairment, and thrombocytopenia. hantaviruses associated with this belong to different serotypes: hantaan (htn), seoul (seo), dobrava/belgrade (dob), and puumala (puu). the first two, htn and seo, are endemic in china. to investigate the epidemiology of hfrs and virus transmission in china, we constructed prokaryotic plasmids encoding truncated recombinant htn and seo nucleoc ... | 2006 | 16721853 |
| comparison of hantaan and seoul viral infections among patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) in heilongjiang, china. | hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) is a serious public health problem in china, and is primarily caused by either the hantaan virus (htnv) or seoul virus (seov) strains. however, the causative hantavirus has only been definitively identified in a few hfrs cases, and detailed comparisons of patient data for the 2 strains are limited. | 2011 | 21428852 |
| genetic characterization of hantaviruses isolated from rodents in the port cities of heilongjiang, china, in 2014. | hantavirus is a tripartite negative-sense rna virus. it can infect humans through contaminated rodent excreta and causes two types of fatal human diseases: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (hps). china exhibits the highest hfrs occurrence rate in the world, and the heilongjiang area is one of the most severely infected regions. | 2016 | 27038799 |
