| phylogeny and origins of hantaviruses harbored by bats, insectivores, and rodents. | hantaviruses are among the most important zoonotic pathogens of humans and the subject of heightened global attention. despite the importance of hantaviruses for public health, there is no consensus on their evolutionary history and especially the frequency of virus-host co-divergence versus cross-species virus transmission. documenting the extent of hantavirus biodiversity, and particularly their range of mammalian hosts, is critical to resolving this issue. here, we describe four novel hantavi ... | 2013 | 23408889 |
| genetic variants of cao bang hantavirus in the chinese mole shrew (anourosorex squamipes) and taiwanese mole shrew (anourosorex yamashinai). | to determine the genetic diversity and geographic distribution of cao bang virus (cbnv) and to ascertain the existence of cbnv-related hantaviruses, natural history collections of archival tissues from chinese mole shrews (anourosorex squamipes) and taiwanese mole shrews (anourosorex yamashinai), captured in guizho province, people's republic of china, and in nantou county, taiwan, in 2006 and 1989, respectively, were analyzed for hantavirus rna by rt-pcr. pair-wise alignment and comparison of t ... | 2016 | 26921799 |
