title: Comparison of the deduced gene products of the L, M and S genome segments of hantaviruses.
abstract: The amino acid sequences deduced from all currently available nucleotide sequences of hantaviruses are compared. Comparisons of three large (L), eight medium (M) and five small (S) genome segments are included. A consensus sequence is provided, allowing easy identification of conserved and unique gene regions. The viruses included in this report represent four serologically distinct hantaviruses which are capable of causing severe, moderate, mild or no human disease.
