Hantaviruses, members of the family Bunyaviridae, are the causative agents of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome in South America. Hantaviruses are currently classified into species based on the guidelines provided by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses. However, a new taxonomic system was proposed recently to classify Sigmodontinae-borne hantaviruses, which are divided currently into three phylogenetic clades corresponding to Andes, Laguna Negra, and Rio Mamore. Analyzing complete nucleocapsid gene sequences of all Sigmodontinae-borne hantaviruses, we propose the addition of a new clade and a fourth group to the already established Andes clade, allowing a better classification of the Sigmodontinae-borne hantaviruses.
汉坦病毒属于布尼亚病毒科，是南美洲汉坦病毒心肺综合征的病原体。汉坦病毒目前根据国际病毒分类委员会提供的指南分为不同的种。然而，最近提出了一种新的分类系统来分类沙鼠型纤丝病毒，这些病毒目前分为三个进化枝，对应安第斯山脉、拉古纳内格拉和里奥马莫雷。分析所有沙鼠型纤丝病毒的完整核衣壳基因序列，我们建议在已经建立的安第斯山脉进化枝中增加一个新的进化枝和第四个组，以更好地对沙鼠型纤丝病毒进行分类。
