Evolutionary insights from a genetically divergent hantavirus harbored by the European common mole (Talpa europaea).

Evolutionary insights from a genetically divergent hantavirus harbored by the European common mole (Talpa europaea).

BACKGROUND:The discovery of genetically distinct hantaviruses in shrews (Order Soricomorpha, Family Soricidae) from widely separated geographic regions challenges the hypothesis that rodents (Order Rodentia, Family Muridae and Cricetidae) are the primordial reservoir hosts of hantaviruses and also p...
