ABSTRACT
Hantavirus is the main cause of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). It is an acute infectious diseases characterized by fever, hemorrhage, nephritis or thrombocytopenia, and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome(HPS). The main clinical manifestations are fever, hemorrhagic lesion, acute respiratory distress and capillary leakeage syndrome. These are four different serotypes of the hantavirus species Hantan virus(HTNV),Seoul virus(SEOV),Dobrava/Belgrade virus(DOBV),and Puumala virus(PUUV). They are known to cause HFRS, while Sin Nombre virus(SNV) causes HPS. In China, these are two serotypes of hantavirus HTNV and SEOV found. The severity of infection depends on the viral serotype. To find a safe, rapid and specific serotyping diagnosis of the causative virus is important. The results not only can be beneficial for rodent control, but also for prevention and therapy. The current research of Hantavirus nucleocapsid protein used as serotyping antigen are summarized.
