Geographic Distribution and Phylogeny of Soricine Shrew-Borne Seewis Virus and Altai Virus in Russia
The discovery of genetically distinct hantaviruses (family Hantaviridae ) in multiple species of shrews, moles and bats has revealed a complex evolutionary history involving cross-species transmission. Seewis virus (SWSV) is widely distributed throughout the geographic ranges of its soricid hosts, i...

The discovery of genetically distinct hantaviruses (family Hantaviridae ) in multiple species of shrews, moles and bats has revealed a complex evolutionary history involving cross-species transmission.
