Thottapalayam virus (TMPV) is single-stranded, enveloped, negative-sense RNA virus species of the genus hantavirus in the Bunyaviridae family. It is the first hantavirus to be isolated from a shrew. It was discovered in India in 1964.

Natural reservoir

TPMV was first isolated from an Asian house shrew (Suncus murinus) in India in 1964. It is the only known hantavirus to be hosted by a shrew instead of a rodent. It was subsequently isolated in Asian house shrews in Wenzhou of Zhejiang province, China.

Virology

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.
