| detection of phylogenetically distinct puumala-like viruses from red-grey vole clethrionomys rufocanus in china. | in order to investigate whether puumala virus (puuv) or puuv-like virus is present in china, clethrionomys rufocanus and c. rutilus were captured in the jilin province during the spring and autumn of 2002-2003 for detection of puuv viral rna by rt-pcr and confirmation of puuv-positive antigens by an immunofluorescence assay. puuv-positive rna was identified in six out of 121 c. rufocanus but not in any of the 41 c. rutilus. complete s and partial m sequences (nt 1,316-1,598 and 2,687-3,089) were ... | 2007 | 17596824 |
