There have been worldwide changes in the researches on hantaviruses in the past several decades. Nevertheless, there are few bibliometric analysis studies this field. We aim to evaluate and visualize the research focuses and trends of this field using a bibliometric analysis way to help understand the developmet and future hotspots of this field.
Publications related to hantavirus studies were culled from the Web of Science Core Collection to generate trend analysis. The articles and reviews were re-extracted and Countries, institutions, authors, references and keywords in this field were visually analyzed by using VOSviewer and CiteSpace.
A total of 4408 studies were included and the number of publications regarding hantaviruses significantly increased yearly. Three thousand seven hundred sixteen research articles and reviews were retrieved to generate bibliometric analysis. These studies mainly come from 125 countries led by USA and China and 3312 institutions led by the University of Helsinki. Twelve thousand five hundred twenty nine authors were identified and Vaheri A were the most influential author. Journal of Virology was the journal with the most studies and citations. After analysis, Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome, nephropathia epidemica and related genotypes, clinical symptoms and rodents were the most common keywords and developing areas.
Research on hantavirus is flourishing. Cooperation among different countries and institutions in this field must be strengthened in the future. The ecology and clinical symptoms of new genotypes, the vaccine development and factors that affect host population distribution and density are current and developing areas of study.
在过去几十年里，汉坦病毒的研究在全球范围内发生了变化。然而，该领域的文献计量分析研究却很少。我们旨在通过文献计量分析方法评估并可视化该领域的研究重点和趋势，以帮助了解该领域的发展及未来热点。
从科学网核心合集筛选出与汉坦病毒研究相关的出版物以进行趋势分析。重新提取文章和综述，并使用VOSviewer和CiteSpace对该领域的国家、机构、作者、参考文献和关键词进行可视化分析。
共纳入4408项研究，关于汉坦病毒的出版物数量逐年显著增加。检索到3716篇研究文章和综述以进行文献计量分析。这些研究主要来自以美国和中国为首的125个国家以及以赫尔辛基大学为首的3312个机构。确定了12529名作者，其中Vaheri A是最具影响力的作者。《病毒学杂志》是发表研究和被引用次数最多的期刊。分析后发现，肾综合征出血热、汉坦病毒肺综合征、流行性肾病及相关基因型、临床症状和啮齿动物是最常见的关键词和研究领域。
汉坦病毒研究正在蓬勃发展。未来必须加强该领域不同国家和机构之间的合作。新基因型的生态学和临床症状、疫苗研发以及影响宿主种群分布和密度的因素是当前及正在发展的研究领域。
