汉坦病毒(Hantaan virus)是肾综合征出血热病毒组的原型株(Prototype)。该组病毒的分子特性,与布尼亚科(Bunyaviridae)病毒类似,但却有一定差别,从而可归之为布尼亚科的一个新属一一汉坦病毒属(Hantavirus),这包括汉坦病毒及与之相近的病毒。为充分阐明这一新属生化上和抗原的变异性,对八株汉坦病毒作之详细的研究。研究的病毒株代表了目前所知该属病毒的宿主动物范围以及不同地理分布区所得的毒株,包 Hantaan virus is a prototype of the hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome virus group. The molecular characteristics of this group of viruses are similar to those of the Bunyaviridae virus but differ to some extent and can be attributed to a new genus Hantavirus of Bunyake, Tain virus and its similar virus. To fully elucidate the biochemical and antigenic variability of this new genus, eight strains of Hantavirus were studied in detail. The virus strains studied represent the range of host animals and the strains obtained in different geographical distribution areas of the genus viruses currently known
