Analysis of complete Puumala virus genome, Finland

Emerg Infect Dis. 2012 Dec;18(12):2070-2. doi: 10.3201/eid1811.120747.

Abstract

Puumala virus causes nephropathia epidemica, a rodent-borne zoonosis that is endemic to Europe. We sequenced the complete Puumala virus genome that was directly recovered from a person who died and compared it with those of viruses from local bank voles. The virus strain involved was neither a unique nor rare genetic variant.
