Abstract
Suncus murinus has been identified as the host for Seoul virus (SEOV). Here, we report the complete genome sequence of SEOV strain Fj372/2013, which was isolated from the lung tissue of Suncus murinus in the Fujian Province of China. A mutation A38C was observed in an open reading fragment of the middle segment.
Highlights
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is caused by hantavirus
Seoul virus (SEOV) is one of the main etiological agents for HFRS, which causes a moderate form of HFRS [2]
No complete genome sequence of SEOV isolated from Suncus murinus has been previously reported
Summary
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is caused by hantavirus. During 2006 to 2012, a total of 77,558 HFRS human cases and 866 deaths were reported in China [1]. During 2006 to 2012, a total of 77,558 HFRS human cases and 866 deaths were reported in China [1]. The genome consists of three segments, designated large (L), medium (M), and small (S). They encode RNAdependent RNA polymerase, the glycoprotein precursor protein that is processed into 2 separate envelope glycoproteins (Gn and Gc), and the nucleocapsid (N) protein, respectively [3, 4].
