Abstract Background The competitiveness of two Tula hantavirus TULV isolates TULV Lodz and TULV Moravia was evaluated in interferon IFN -competent and IFN-deficient cells. The two isolates differ in the length of the open reading frame ORF encoding the nonstructural protein NSs which has previously been shown to inhibit IFN response in infected cells. Results In IFN-deficient Vero E6 cells both TULV isolates survived equally well. In contrast in IFN-competent MRC5 cells TULV Lodz isolate that .
