Microevolution of Puumala hantavirus during a complete population cycle of its host, the bank vole (Myodes glareolus).

Microevolution of Puumala hantavirus (PUUV) was studied throughout a population cycle of its host, the bank vole (Myodes glareolus). We monitored PUUV variants circulating in the host population in Central Finland over a five-year period that included two peak-phases and two population declines. Of...
