a new subtype of thottapalayam virus carried by the asian house shrew (suncus murinus) in china.	recently, many novel hantavirus species carried by insectivore had been found. in order to know whether the insectivore-associated hantaviruses exist in china, asian house shrew (suncus murinus) were analyzed for the presence of hantaviruses. 362 asian house shrews were captured in wenzhou of zhejiang province. hantavirus-specific rna was detected by rt-pcr in lung tissue samples of six shrews. the complete hantavirus s and m segment sequences and also partial l segment sequences were successful ...	2011	21801855
biodiversity and evolution of imjin virus and thottapalayam virus in crocidurinae shrews in zhejiang province, china.	the recent discovery of numerous hantaviruses in insectivores has provided a new view of hantavirus biodiversity and evolution. to determine the presence and genetic diversity of imjin virus (mjnv) and thottapalayam virus (tpmv) in insectivores in zhejiang province, china, we captured and performed virus screening of 32 ussuri white-toothed shrews (crocidura lasiura) and 105 asian house shrews (suncus murinus) in different coastal regions. hantavirus genome (s, m, and l segments) sequences were ...	2014	24874196
