Abstract
Seven strains of HFRS virus were studied by means of thin-section electron microscopy. The XHF virus defined asa member of Bunyarividae was compared. The results showed that HFRS viruses including Hantaan virus strain 76-118 were different in morphology and maturity from the XHF virus. The HFRS viruses may be classified as a member of the new genus of Bunyavividae.
