Amur virus (AMRV) is a
negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus. It may be a member of the genus Orthohantavirus, but it has not be definitively classified as a species and may only be a strain.[1] It has been identified as a causative agent of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.[2][3]
Genome
The complete genome sequence Amur virus has been isolated from a sample obtained from HTNV. Two genetic sublineages of SOOV exist, but findings suggest that AMRV and SOOV are different strains of the same hantavirus.[4]
Reservoir
The virus is reported to be carried by Korean field mice (Apodemus peninsulae) in the Far East of Russia, China, and Korea.[4]
