Hantavirus structure – molecular interactions behind the scene

Abstract excerpt

Viruses of the genus Hantavirus, carried and transmitted by rodents and insectivores, are the exception in the vector-borne virus family Bunyaviridae, since viruses of the other genera are transmitted via arthropods. The single-stranded, negative-sense, RNA genome of hantaviruses is trisegmented into small, medium and large (S, M and L) segments. The segments, respectively, encode three structural proteins:...
