Abstract excerpt
Toscana virus (TOSV), a member of the Bunyaviridae family, is an important etiologic agent of neurologic infection transmissible to humans by bites of the Phlebotomus spp. In consideration of the variations in the antigenic properties of Bunyaviruses and their potential genetic variability, we analysed a large region (2500nt) of the Toscana virus M segment coding for the non-structural protein (NSm) and the G(N)...
