SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Orthohantaviruses, highly transmissible zoonotic pathogens, are notorious for causing hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Eurasia and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome in the Americas. With a significant impact on public health, they have been extensively researched for effective outbreak control and intervention strategies. Gyeonggi Province in South Korea has reported a significant number of HFRS cases, making it a critical area for epidemiological surveillance and understanding the genomic diversity of orthohantaviruses.

Key Points: 
  • With a significant impact on public health, they have been extensively researched for effective outbreak control and intervention strategies.
  • Notably, the study showcased the application of Flongle sequencing, an innovative, cost-efficient, and rapid method, for detecting HTNV genomes.
  • "We developed a rapid and sensitive on-site diagnostic using a nanopore-based Flongle chip with a reasonable cost of around $100.
