Cover Story: Hantaan virus and relatives were long thought to constitute a homogenous group of rodent-infecting trisegmented negative-sense RNA viruses. Recent metagenomic studies revealed the considerable diversity of these viruses not only in rodents, but also in bats, eulipotyphlans, fish, and reptiles (silhouettes), necessitating the creation of a family, Hantaviridae, including multiple genera (italicized terms). Only orthohantaviruses are known to cause human diseases, i.e., hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). Background: electron-microscopic images of orthohantavirus particles produced during Hantaan virus and Sin Nombre virus infections. View this paper
