The discovery of Hantaan virus as an etiologic agent of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in South Korea in 1978 led to identification of related pathogenic and nonpathogenic rodent-borne viruses in Asia and Europe. Their global distribution was recognized in 1993 after connecting newly discovered relatives of these viruses to hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in the Americas. The 1971 description of the shrew-infecting Hantaan-virus-like Thottapalayam virus was long considered an anomaly. Today, this virus and many others that infect eulipotyphlans, bats, fish, rodents, and reptiles are classified among several genera in the continuously expanding family .
1978年在韩国发现汉坦病毒是肾综合征出血热的病原体,这促使人们在亚洲和欧洲鉴定出相关的致病性和非致病性啮齿动物传播病毒。1993年,在将这些病毒的新发现亲属与美洲的汉坦病毒肺综合征联系起来之后,它们的全球分布得到了确认。1971年对感染鼩鼱的类汉坦病毒托塔帕莱姆病毒的描述长期以来被视为一种异常情况。如今,这种病毒以及许多其他感染真盲缺目动物、蝙蝠、鱼类、啮齿动物和爬行动物的病毒,被归类于这个不断扩大的病毒科的几个属中。
