title: Genomic characterization of M and S RNA segments of hantaviruses isolated from bats.
abstract: Genomic analysis of three Hantaan-like virus isolates from bats was performed. Cleavage patterns of reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products and nucleotide sequences of G2 region of M RNA segment and N protein region of S RNA segment of the isolates were compared to that of Hantaan 76-118 strain. Genomic characteristics of the bat isolates were identical to that of Hantaan virus.
