Hantavirus is the main cause of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). It is an acute infectious diseases characterized by fever, hemorrhage, nephritis or thrombocytopenia, and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome(HPS). The main clinical manifestations are fever, hemorrhagic lesion, acute respiratory distress and capillary leakeage syndrome. These are four different serotypes of the hantavirus species: Hantan virus(HTNV),Seoul virus(SEOV),Dobrava/Belgrade virus(DOBV),and Puumala virus(PUUV). They are known to cause HFRS, while Sin Nombre virus(SNV) causes HPS. In China, these are two serotypes of hantavirus: HTNV and SEOV found. The severity of infection depends on the viral serotype. To find a safe, rapid and specific serotyping diagnosis of the causative virus is important. The results not only can be beneficial for rodent control, but also for prevention and therapy. The current research of Hantavirus nucleocapsid protein used as serotyping antigen are summarized.

To evaluate the inhibitive effect of plant protein MAP30 (momordica anti-HIV protein of 30kDa), AZT (3′-azido-2′,3′-dideoxythymidine) , ACV (acyclovir) and IFN-?2a (interferon-?2a) against HIV-1 in vitro, MT4 was used as the target cell and the inhibitive effects of these drugs on HIV-1 P24 expression were investigated by ELISA. The inhibitory effect of these drugs on HIV-1-induced cytopathy was also evaluated. The 50% inhibition concentration (IC 50) of MAP30 was 0.9?mol/L. In comparison, the IC 50 for AZT , a commonly used anti-HIV drug, was 0.7?mol/L. The cytopathic effect induced by HIV-1 was also inhibited by MAP30 and AZT. ACV and IFN-?2a showed little effect on HIV-1. All these results strongly indicated that plant protein MAP30 could obviously inhibit HIV-1 replication in vitro.

OBJECTIVETo determine the frequency and characteristics of reassortment among Hantaan and Seoul viruses causing hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS).
METHODSMixed infections were initiated in tissue culture, using Hantaan virus strain 76 - 118 and Seoul virus strain SR-11. Potential reassortant virus plaques were picked out by multiplex RT-PCR, using primers specific for individual genome segments (L, M, S) of each strain.
RESULTSMost of the progeny virus plaques (68.19% of 44) had parental genotype of 76 - 118 strain or SR-11 strain while 2 of 44 plaques had mixed genotypes that yielded RT-PCR bands for the same segment of both parental strains. Reassortant viruses were detected in 68.19% of 44 progeny plaques tested, involving the M and S segments. In addition, approximately 4.55% of the progeny virus plaques appeared to contain S or M segments originating from both parental virus strains, showing that they were diploid.
CONCLUSIONGenetic reassortment can occur between Hantaan virus and Seoul virus strains.
