Thottopalayam thottimvirus, formerly Thottapalayam virus, (TMPV) is single-stranded, enveloped, negative-sense RNA virus species of the genus Thottimvirus in the Bunyavirales order. It is the first hantavirus to be isolated from a shrew.[citation needed] It was discovered in India in 1964.[2][3]

Natural reservoir edit
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.[4] These shrew-borne thottimviruses are not known to cause any known disease in humans, unlike the similar and related orthohantaviruses including Andes and Hantaan viruses, which cause lethal hemorrhagic fevers.[5]
TPMV was first isolated in Asian house shrews in Wenzhou of Zhejiang province, China.[6]
Virology edit
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]
