†837 nucleotides (nt) of the S segment (positions 394–1230), 694 nt of the M segment (positions 2281–2974), and 412 nt of the L segment (positions 2956–3367) and the deduced amino acid (aa) sequences (279 aa, position 120–398 of the nucleocapsid protein; 231 aa, positions 748–978 of the glycoprotein precursor; 137 aa, positions 974–1110 of the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase) have been compared. Fragment positions were defined according to complete sequences of HTNV strain 76-118 (GenBank accession nos. NC_005218, NC_005219, and NC_005222).
