Etiologic Studies of Epidemic Hemorrhagic Fever (Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome)

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1983
Two strains of epidemic hemorrhagic fever (EHF) virus were isolated from the lung tissues of Apodemus agrarius mice that were captured in an area where EHF is endemic. The strains were isolated by passages in A. agrarius mice from a nonendemic area. Identification of the isolates by usual procedures was confirmed by repeated blind tests with coded sera.
