positive serological evidence that hantaan virus, the etiologic agent of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, is endemic in canada.	hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome is endemic in most parts of the world. the etiological agent in known as hantaan virus. more than 2000 canadian sera from all age groups and provinces were tested for the presence of antibody to this virus by the indirect immunofluorescent antibody technique. the frequency of seropositivity ranged from 0.3 to 4.0%, with the national average being 1.4%. newfoundland and new brunswick in the atlantic region had the highest positivity, being higher than hyperen ...	1984	6150755
genetic and serotypic characterization of sin nombre-like viruses in canadian peromyscus maniculatus mice.	in canada, hantavirus infected deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) have been collected from british columbia to newfoundland. partial sequencing of g1 and n protein encoding regions from canadian peromyscus maniculatus-borne hantaviruses demonstrated the existence of significant genotypic divergence among strains. phylogenetic analysis showed that sin nombre (sn)-like viruses from eastern and western canadian deer mice can be divided into at least two broad-based genogroups. sequencing of mitocho ...	2001	11311430
