Abstract
The sequence of the genomic M segment encoding the surface glycoprotei ns G1 and G2 of wild-type Tula hantavirus (TUL) has been determined. A nalyses of M nucleotide sequences show that TUL is genetically distinc t from other hantaviruses. Comparison to ten currently known hantaviru s G1G2 amino acid sequences points out several, presumably functional, regions with substantial homology indicating a common ancestry and si milar evolutionary pathways for all members of the Hantavirus genus.
