| novel hantavirus in the flat-skulled shrew (sorex roboratus). | genetically distinct hantaviruses have been identified recently in multiple species of shrews (order soricomorpha, family soricidae) in eurasia and north america. to corroborate decades-old reports of hantaviral antigens in shrews from russia, archival liver and lung tissues from 4 siberian large-toothed shrews (sorex daphaenodon), 5 eurasian least shrews (sorex minutissimus), 12 flat-skulled shrews (sorex roboratus), and 18 tundra shrews (sorex tundrensis), captured in the sakha republic in nor ... | 2010 | 20426682 |
| co-circulation of hantaan, kenkeme, and khabarovsk hantaviruses in bolshoy ussuriysky island, china. | hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) was first recognized in far eastern asia in the 1930s, and has been highly prevalent in this region ever since. to reveal the molecular epidemiology of hantaviruses in this region, a total of 374 small mammals (eight species of rodents and one species of shrew) were captured in the chinese part of the bolshoy ussuriysky island (heilongjiang province). hantavirus sequences were recovered from three striped field mice (apodemus agrarius), 11 maximowicz' ... | 2014 | 25087879 |
| highly divergent genetic variants of soricid-borne altai virus (hantaviridae) in eurasia suggest ancient host-switching events. | with the recent discovery of genetically distinct hantaviruses (family hantaviridae) in shrews (order eulipotyphla, family soricidae), the once-conventional view that rodents (order rodentia) served as the primordial reservoir hosts now appears improbable. the newly identified soricid-borne hantaviruses generally demonstrate well-resolved lineages organized according to host taxa and geographic origin. however, beginning in 2007, we detected sequences that did not conform to the prototypic hanta ... | 2019 | 31540127 |
| geographic distribution and phylogeny of soricine shrew-borne seewis virus and altai virus in russia. | the discovery of genetically distinct hantaviruses (family hantaviridae) in multiple species of shrews, moles and bats has revealed a complex evolutionary history involving cross-species transmission. seewis virus (swsv) is widely distributed throughout the geographic ranges of its soricid hosts, including the eurasian common shrew (sorex araneus), tundra shrew (sorex tundrensis) and siberian large-toothed shrew (sorex daphaenodon), suggesting host sharing. in addition, genetic variants of swsv, ... | 2021 | 34372492 |
