“…Leaky was also isolated from Mus musculus in the United States [3] and not associated with human disease. Also, the comparison of a 290 bp sequence of the M segment of the plaque purified Leaky strain as welt as the PUU strain Yanagihara [26] shows a high nucleotide homology to our Vranica sequence (99.0% and 99.7%). The interpretation of the published Hfilln~is B 1 sequences appears even more difficult.…”

“…To our knowledge different sequences were ascribed to the H/illnfis B1 strain (cf. Table 1): (i) The sequence [9,36] of a strain later identified as CG18-20, (ii) a 290 bp sequence of the M (G1) region of a "H/illn/is BI" strain used by Puthavathana et al [26] which we actually found to be identical with the corresponding region of the Sotkamo strain [39], and (iii) the 333 bp H/illn~is B1 sequence of Xiao et al [40] mentioned above. It is difficult to trace the passage histories of certain hantaviral strains like H~illn~is B 1.…”

“…But taking into consideration the history of confusion around the H~illn~is B 1 strain and the striking homology to the recently analyzed bank vole isolates from the H/illnfis region, the question of the origin of the Vranica strain still awaits a definite answer.

“…The analysis according to Rao and Argos [27] revealed potential transmembrane regions for G1 (aa 451-526) and G2 (aa 1 106--1 136) which are conserved in all hantavirses analyzed so far [26,34]. Both regions are followed by a stretch of hydrophilic residues (a 540-548 and 1 143-1 148), suggesting a membrane-anchoring function.…”

The hantavirus strain Vranica was previously reported to have been isolated from a bank vole in Bosnia-Hercegovina and associated with the occurrence of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HRFS) in humans. The complete cDNA nucleotide sequences of the small (S) and medium (M) genomic RNA segments of this virus were determined. Major open reading frames were found in the S and M segment between nucleotide positions 43 and 1341 coding for a polypeptide of 433 amino acid residues and between nucleotide positions 41 and 3,484 coding for 1,148 amino acid residues, respectively. The analysis and the alignment of the nucleotide and the derived amino acid sequences with known sequences of other hantavirus strains demonstrate that Vranica resembles Swedish strains and represents a new virus subtype of the Puumala serotype distinct from the subtypes represented by virus strains CG18-20 and Sotkamo.

Puumala virus and two genetic variants of tula virus are present in Austrian rodents

Puumala and Tula viruses are hantaviruses found in Europe and are associated with the rodents Clethrionomys glareolus and Microtus arvalis, respectively. Puumala virus is associated with the human disease nephropathia epidemica. In Austria, ten clinically diagnosed cases of nephropathia epidemica, presumably caused by Puumala virus infection, have been reported but not virologically confirmed [Leschinskaya et al., 1991; Aberle et al., 1996]. To identify the hantaviruses that are present in Austria, five species of rodents were trapped and screened for virus antibodies, antigen, and RNA. Hantaviruses were detected in two species, Cl. glareolus and M. arvalis, by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RT-PCR products from Cl. glareolus tissues yielded a unique Puumala virus sequence distinct from Puumala virus sequences reported from other parts of Europe. RT-PCR products from M. arvalis tissues yielded two genetically distinct Tula virus sequences, one similar to sequences reported from Slovakia and the Czech Republic and another that appears to be a novel genetic variant of Tula virus. This is the first confirmed report of hantaviruses in Austria.

Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is an acute respiratory illness with high mortality. It is caused by a newly described New World hantavirus known as Four Corners virus (FCV). Nearly all cases of HPS have occurred in the western United States. The etiologic agents in those cases have been closely related to each other, based upon comparisons of their genetic sequences. We have molecularly cloned the S genomic segment of a hantavirus (Rl-1) implicated in a case on HPS in the northeastern United States. Nucleotide sequence analysis shows that the Rl-1 virus has many similarities to FCV, but is clearly distinct from the western forms of that virus. These data suggest that HPS can be caused by multiple agents that together form a distinctive evolutionary clade.
