| complete l segment coding-region sequences of crimean congo hemorrhagic fever virus strains from the russian federation and tajikistan. | the large (l) rna segment of crimean congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) virus strain ast/ti30908, isolated from pooled hyalomma marginatum ticks collected in 2002 from the astrakhan region of european russia, was amplified piecemeal using reverse-transcription/polymerase chain reaction, followed by direct sequencing of gel-purified amplicons. after removal of 5' and 3' primer-generated termini, the assembled ast/ti30908 l segment sequence is 12112 nucleotides long, with 41.3% g + c content, and is g ... | 2006 | 16195783 |
