Abstract
The data on the structure of the M genome segment of CCHF virus strains from Russia and Central Asia (Tajikistan) are presented. Data obtained have been compared with other available published sequences of the middle segment of strains from China, Nigeria, and Pakistan. It has been found that all the known strains can be divided into four genetic groups, based on the nucleotide sequence of the M genome segment and an amino acid sequence of the glycoprotein precursor it encodes, whereas VLG/TI29414 and STV/HU29223 strains from Russia form a separate group. The CCHF virus strain from Tajikistan, TADJ/HU8966, was genetically related to strains 7803 and 75024 from China, and together with these and the Nigerian IbAr 10200 strain, it forms another group.
