Broad geographical distribution and high genetic diversity of shrew-borne Seewis hantavirus in Central Europe

Original language description

For long time hantaviruses were believed to be exclusively rodent-borne pathogens. Recent findings of numerous shrew- and mole-borne hantaviruses raise important questions on the phylogenetic origin of current hantaviruses. The objective of our study wasto prove the presence and distribution of Sorex-associated hantaviruses in their reservoir hosts in Central Europe. Therefore, during 2004 -- 2011 a total of 353 Sorex araneus, 59 S. minutus, 27 S. coronatus and one S. alpinus were collected at 84 different trapping sites in Germany, Czech Republic and Slovakia. Analyses by hantavirus-specific L- and S-segment RT-PCR revealed specific amplification products in tissues of 49 out of 353 trapped S. araneus and 4 out of 59 S. minutus. Phylogenetic investigation of these sequences from Germany, Czech Republic and Slovakia demonstrated their similarity to Seewis virus (SWSV) sequences from Switzerland, Russia, Hungary, Finland, Austria and other sites in Germany. The low intra-cluster sequen
