Epidemiological surveillance and phylogenetic diversity of Orthohantavirus hantanense using high-fidelity nanopore sequencing, Republic of Korea
Our findings enhance the resolution of the spatiotemporal genomic surveillance of HTNV by consistently providing new viral sequences and epidemiological data from HFRS-endemic regions in the ROK. This report signifies a notable advancement in nanopore sequencing techniques and bioinformatics, offering a robust platform for genome-based diagnostics and sophisticated phylogenetic analyses of orthohantaviruses, which are essential for public health strategies aimed at controlling HFRS.
