title: [Study of phylogenetic relations of hantaviruses by using the mutual information method. Tula genotype viruses].
abstract: Phylogenetic relations were studied in the group of Tula viruses (Hantavirus genus, Bunyaviridae family) of Eurasia. The similarity in the nucleotide sequences of segments was estimated by the value of mutual information. The application of this method confirmed that recombinant events might occur in some Tula-like viruses of Eurasia, as previously presumed by the results of bootscanning and analysis of amino acid sequences. It was found that might be recombination between distinct phylogenetic Tula sublineages; concepts of the microevolution of the group as a whole are specified.
