    Author: Chandy S, Okumura M, Yoshimatsu K, Ulrich RG, John GT, Abraham P, Arikawa J, Sridharan G.
    Journal: Indian J Med Microbiol; 2009; 27(4):348-50. PubMed ID: 19736405.
    Abstract:
    Hantaviruses cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in Europe and Asia. There are about 20 documented hantavirus species and newer species are being described worldwide, especially in non-rodent reservoirs, i.e shrews. Focus reduction neutralization test is the classical serotyping technique for hantavirus. However, this study employs a previously established serotyping ELISA, to retrospectively analyze known hantavirus IgG reactive samples for infecting serotypes. The result suggests presence of Thailand virus- like and Hantaan virus -like strains in India.
