title: [The role of Hantaan virus serotypes in the etiology of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in the Far East of the USSR].
abstract: The employment of two serological tests (indirect fluorescence antibody technique and neutralization test) demonstrated the leading role of Hantaan virus serotype 1 strains isolated from field mice in the pattern of the incidence of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). Proofs of the etiological importance of strains of serotypes 3 and 5 occurring in brown rats and Cl. rufocanus were obtained. No data on any association of human HFRS cases with strains of serotype 4 isolated from reed voles could be demonstrated.
