According to the authors' abstract of an article published in Virus Research, "Andes virus, one of five hantaviruses known to cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), emerged in 1995 in southwestern Argentina (Lopez et al. (1996) Virology 220, 223-226). The complete nucleotide sequence of Andes virus S genome segment was determined and compared with sequences of viral RNAs in autopsy tissues of more recently reported HPS cases from southwestern Argentina and south of Chile (cases ESQ H-1/96 and CH H-1/96). Andes virus S segment was found to be 1876 nucleotides in length and to encode the nucleocapsid protein (N), 428 amino acids in length. S segment analysis also revealed a long 5'...
