Recombinant of PUUV genome S segment isolated from rodents captured in the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia

Purpose: Background: Puumala hantavirus (PUUV) is the main cause of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HRFS) in Russia. Although known to cause HFRS endemic in the Republic of Tatarstan (RT), little is known about the genetic diversity of PUUV in the Republic. Therefore, we sought to characterize variations in PUUV S-segment in bank voles in the RT.
