Abstract: A Hantavirus was isolated in Vero-E6 cells from lungs of a free living bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus) captured in Turnhout, Province of Antwerp--Northern part of Belgium. With help of monoclonal antibodies the Belgian Hantavirus isolate could be clearly differentiated from Hantaan virus strain 76-118, Prospect Hill virus strain PH1 and SR11, a Hantavirus isolated from laboratory Wistar rat in Japan, but not from the nephropathia epidemica virus strain Hällnäs.
