Identification and characterization of codon usage pattern and influencing factors in HFRS-causing hantaviruses.

ABSTRACT: Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is an acute viral zoonosis carried and transmitted by infected rodents through urine, droppings, or saliva. The etiology of HFRS is complex due to the involvement of viral factors and host immune and genetic factors which hinder the development of potential therapeutic solutions for HFRS. Hantaan virus (HTNV), Dobrava-Belgrade virus (DOBV), Seoul virus (SEOV), and Puumala virus (PUUV) are predominantly found in hantaviral species that cause HFRS in patients. Despite ongoing prevention and control efforts, HFRS remains a serious economic burden worldwide. Furthermore, recent studies reported that the hantavirus nucleocapsid protein is a multi-functional protein and plays a major role in the replication cycle of the hantavirus. However, the precis
