Thottapalayam virus (TMPV) is single-stranded, enveloped, negative-sense RNA virus species of the genus Thottimvirus in the Hantaviridae family. [2] It was the first hantavirus to be isolated from a shrew. [3] It was discovered in India in 1964. [4] [5]

Contents

Natural reservoir

TPMV was first isolated from an Asian house shrew ( Suncus murinus ) in India in 1964. It is part of a group of hantaviruses which are hosted by shrews instead of rodents. [6] These shrew-borne thottimviruses are not known to cause any known disease in humans, unlike the similar and related orthohantaviruses, including Andes virus and Hantaan virus. [3]

TPMV was first isolated in Asian house shrews in Wenzhou of Zhejiang province, China. [7]

Virology

Phylogenetic analysis has shown that Thottapalayam virus, and its closely related strains, is unique and forms a distinct lineage, unrelated to other hantaviruses. The closest hantavirus to TMPV is Imjin virus which demonstrates corresponding nucleotide sequences to TPMV as does Tanganya virus. [7]
