| genetic and antigenic characterization of the amur virus associated with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. | the genetic and antigenic characteristics of the amur (amr) and far east (fe) virus lineages, which are both within the genus hantavirus, were studied. representative viruses, h5 and b78 for amr and bao 14 for fe, were used. the entire small (s) and medium (m) segments, except for the 3'- and 5'-ends, were sequenced. the deduced amino acid sequences of amr had 96.7 and 92.0-92.2% identities with the hantaan (htn) virus in the s and m segments, respectively. the amino acid sequences of fe had 99. ... | 2004 | 15041180 |
| soochong virus: an antigenically and genetically distinct hantavirus isolated from apodemus peninsulae in korea. | hantaan (htn) virus, the etiologic agent of clinically severe hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs), was first isolated in 1976 from lung tissue of a striped-field mouse (apodemus agrarius) captured in songnae-ri, gyeonggi province, republic of korea. found primarily in mountainous areas, the korean field mouse (a. peninsulae) is the second-most dominant field rodent species found throughout korea. a new hantavirus, designated soochong (soo), was isolated in vero e6 cells from four a. pen ... | 2006 | 16372283 |
| a comparative epidemiological study of hantavirus infection in japan and far east russia. | hantaviruses are causative agents of some severe human illnesses, including hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (hps). the viruses are maintained by rodent hosts, and humans acquire infection by inhaling virus-contaminated excreta from infected animals. to examine the epidemiology of hantavirus infections in japan and far east russia, we conducted epidemiological surveys in these regions. in japan, anti-hantavirus antibodies were found in four rodent sp ... | 2007 | 17405352 |
| soochong virus and amur virus might be the same entities of hantavirus. | amur virus (amrv) and soochong virus (soov) were reported to be carried by korean field mice (apodemus peninsulae) in the far east of russia, china, and korea. the distinction and demarcation between these two viruses have been a matter of debate. in order to clarify this issue and to confirm taxonomic position of amrv and soov, the extensive phylogenetic analyses based on entire s segment and entire m segment sequences of amrv, soov and other reference virus strains deposited in genbank, were c ... | 2007 | 17854038 |
| [identification of amur like virus in apodemus peninsulae and its molecular characteristics in china]. | to confirm the existence of amur-like viruses in apodemus peninsulae in china, and to understand the molecular characteristics of these viruses. | 2007 | 17877180 |
| [complete sequence of the m segment of amur virus in rodent from china]. | to study the complete sequence of m segment of amur virus in rodents and to explore their molecular characteristics. | 2009 | 20193388 |
| hantavirus infections. | over the past few decades understanding and recognition of hantavirus infection has greatly improved worldwide, but both the amplitude and the magnitude of hantavirus outbreaks have been increasing. several novel hantaviruses with unknown pathogenic potential have been identified in a variety of insectivore hosts. with the new hosts, new geographical distributions of hantaviruses have also been discovered and several new species were found in africa. hantavirus infection in humans can result in ... | 2015 | 24750436 |
| hantaviruses in rodents and humans, xi'an, pr china. | xi'an, the capital of shaanxi province, located in north-west china, is one of the major endemic areas for haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs). in this study, the epidemiological data of hfrs in xi'an from 1959 to 2010, especially in the past ten years (2001-2010), were surveyed. the features of hantavirus (hv) host carriers, the molecular characteristics of the hv s gene from hosts and patients, and the genome of the viral isolate were also investigated. data showed that there might b ... | 2012 | 22837422 |
| isolation and characterization of hantaviruses in far east russia and etiology of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in the region. | hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) is a serious public health issue in far east russia. two different hantaviruses were isolated from rodents captured in the khabarovsk region: amur virus (amrv; khekhtsir/ap209/2005 strain from apodemus peninsulae) and hantaan virus (htnv; galkino/aa57/2002 strain from a. agrarius). genetic analysis of the new isolates revealed that the m and l segments were apparently different between amrv and htnv, but s segments of the two viruses were closer. the ... | 2012 | 22403334 |
| complete genome sequence of an amur virus isolated from apodemus peninsulae in northeastern china. | amur virus was recently identified as the causative agent of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. here we report the complete genome sequence of an amur virus isolated from apodemus peninsulae in northeastern china. the sequence information provided here is critical for the molecular epidemiology and evolution of amur virus in china. | 2012 | 23166234 |
| the first complete genomic characterization of an amur virus isolate from china. | amur virus (amrv) is a member of the genus hantavirus in the family bunyaviridae. in this study, we determined for the first time the complete genome sequence of the amrv h8205 strain, which was isolated from a patient with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) in china. the complete nucleotide sequence of the s segment of amrv h8205 is 1699 nt long, with a 5' noncoding region (5'nc) of 36 nt, followed by a coding sequence of 1290 nt and a 3'nc of 373 nt. the complete sequence of the m se ... | 2013 | 23605588 |
