| a newly recognized hantavirus in the asian house rat (rattus tanezumi) in indonesia. | hantaviral sequences were recovered from the lung tissue of an asian house rat (rattus tanezumi) captured in serang, indonesia. phylogenetic analysis of partial l, m and s segment sequences showed that they belonged to a novel hantavirus provisionally named serang virus (serv). notably, serv is distinct from the hantaviruses associated with rodents of the species rattus: seoul virus associated with rattus norvegicus worldwide and gou virus isolated from rattus rattus in china. instead serv appea ... | 2009 | 19088290 |
| short peptide epitope design from hantaviruses causing hfrs. | several genotypes of the hantavirus cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) and is an important public health problem worldwide. there is now growing interest to develop subunit vaccines especially focused to elicit cytotoxic t lymphocyte responses which are important against viral infection. we identified candidate t-cell epitopes that bind to class i hla supertypes towards identifying potential subunit vaccine entity. these epitopes are conserved in all 5 hantavirus genotypes of hfr ... | 2017 | 28943728 |
| ongoing spillover of hantaan and gou hantaviruses from rodents is associated with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) in china. | longquan city, zhejiang province, china, has been seriously affected by hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) since the first cases were registered in 1974. to understand the epidemiology and emergence of hfrs in longquan, which may be indicative of large parts of rural china, we studied long-term incidence patterns and performed a molecular epidemiological investigation of the causative hantaviruses in human and rodent populations. | 2013 | 24147168 |
