One strain of Hantavirus(HV) was isolated from patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Zhejiang province and its S-segment was cloned and submitted to nucleotide sequence analysis in order to determine the type of strain and extent of genetic variation for further study on its evolution and mutation .The HV antigen was detected from mouse lungs in endemic area by direct immunofluorescene test and the HV-positive sample of mouse lung was inoculated to Vero-E6 cells to isolate virus. The total cellular RNA was extracted from infected cell culture and the S segment gene was amplicated by RT-PCR. Then, the purified PCR product was cloned into T vector for sequencing. The result showed that the full-length sequence of the S segment was 1 700 bp with one open reading frame (ORF) encoding 429 amino acids. Comparison with Hantavirus HTN type showed 85.7%-91.9% homology at the nucleotide level. In comparison with the SEO type of viruses, the homology at nucleotide level was shown to be 71.2%-75%. This new HV strain may be typed as to HTN virus and may be a new subtype of this virus.

Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) caused by enterovirus-A71 (EV-A71) has posed heavy disease and economic burdens to young children under 5 years of age and families. Elucidating the pathogenesis of EV-A71 will provide better evidence for prevention and control for EV-A71 infection. miRNAs are a class of non-coding RNA that regulate many biological processes of host cells through manipulating mRNA translation to control the protein levels by direct binding to mRNA, meanwhile, participating the virus-host cell interaction. Here, we mainly review the current knowledge on the biogenesis of miRNA, alterations of miRNA profiles induced by EV-A71, regulation of EV-A71 replication, anti-EV-A71 innate immunity and apoptosis by miRNA direct binding EV-A71 genome or host genes. All these will facilitate understanding the role of miRNA in EV-A71-host cell interaction and pathogenesis of disease caused by EV-A71.
