Comparison of nucleotide (nt) identity, and amino acid (aa) similarity, of partial PUUV S segments and deduced nucleocapsid proteins of the South-East German strains and of other selected hantaviruses. Gaps and stop codons are included in the calculation (the nucleotide sequences of 02/04 and 33/04 are identical)
