Discovery of hantaviruses and of the Hantavirus genus: Personal and historical perspectives of the Presidents of the International Society of Hantaviruses
چکیده انگلیسی


- We describe key events leading to the discovery of hantaviruses and their associated diseases.
- Current knowledge regarding the evolutionary origin of hantaviruses is presented.
- We present ideas on the future research challenges facing hantavirologists.

We three authors, the two past presidents (HWL and AV) and the current president (CSS) of the International Society for Hantaviruses (ISH) have attended most of the nine International Conferences on HFRS, HPS and Hantaviruses (Table 1). These conferences have provided a forum for a synergistic group of clinicians, basic researchers, mammalogists, epidemiologists and ecologists to share their expertise and interests in all aspects of hantavirus research. Much of what is now hantavirus dogma was only conjecture when HWL organized the first conference in Seoul, Korea in 1989. Herein, we provide our reflections on key events in hantavirus research. As we come from distinct areas of the world and have had individual historical experiences, we certainly have our own geocentric opinions about the key events. Nevertheless, we agree that the discovery of hantaviruses has taken an interesting and unpredictable track to where we are today.
