1. Introduction
In 2017, Bunyaviridae was
officially upgraded to Bunyavirales , and the genusHantavirus in Bunyaviridae was upgraded toHantaviridae .1 Multiple hantaviruses, such asHantaan virus (HTNV), Seoul virus (SEOV),Dobrava-Belgrade virus (DOBV), Puumala virus (PUUV),Andes virus (ANDV), and Sin Nombre virus (SNV), are highly
pathogenic to humans.2 They cause hemorrhagic fever
with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome or
hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HCPS/HPS) worldwide (Table1 ).3 This review compiles recent advancements
in the research of Hantaviridae in order to aid researchers and
the public in better understanding this virus family with global public
health significance.
