Genetic analysis of Thailand hantavirus in Bandicota indica trapped in Thailand - art. no. 72 /Hugot, Jean-Pierre Plyusnina, A. /Herbreteau, Vincent Nemirov, K. Laakkonen, J. Lundkvist, A.

VIRUS RAT IMMUNOLOGIE ENZYME PHYLOGENIE ETUDE COMPARATIVE ANALYSE GENETIQUE TECHNIQUE RT PCR Sixty one tissue samples from several rodent species trapped in five provinces of Thailand were examined for the presence of hantaviral markers by enzyme-immunoassay and immunoblotting. Four samples, all from the great bandicoot rat Bandicota indica, were confirmed positive for the hantaviral N-antigen. Two of them were trapped in Nakhon Pathom province, the other two in Nakhon Ratchasima province, approximately 250 km from the other trapping site. When analysed by RT-nested PCR, all four rodents were found positive for the hantaviral S- and M-segment nucleotide sequences. Genetic analysis revealed that the four newly described wild-type strains belong to Thailand hantavirus. On the phylogenetic trees they formed a well-supported cluster within the group of Murinae-associated hantaviruses and shared a recent common ancestor with Seoul virus. 2006 text https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010040706 fdi:010040706 Hugot Jean-Pierre, Plyusnina A., Herbreteau Vincent, Nemirov K., Laakkonen J., Lundkvist A., Supputamongkol Y., Henttonen H., Plyusnin A..
