Tula virus phylogeography

Purpose: Tula hantavirus (TULV) is zoonotic virus widespread across Eurasia, where numerous small mammal species have been shown to be its reservoirs. In the Balkans, Serbia is the first country where TULV was detected, in European pine vole, M. subterraneus trapped in 1987. Although TULV is not considered pathogenic for humans, cases of human infection have been reported on several occasions so far.
