Abstract Thottapalayam TPM virus belongs to the genus Hantavirus family Bunyaviridae. The genomes of hantaviruses consist of three negative-stranded RNA segments S M and L encoding the virus nucleocapsid N glycoprotein Gn Gc and polymerase L proteins respectively. The genus Hantavirus contains predominantly rodent-borne viruses with the prominent exception of TPM virus which was isolated in India in 1964 from an insectivore Suncus murinus commonly referred to as the Asian house shrew or brown musk shrew. Analysis of the available TPM virus S 1530 nt RNA genome segment sequence and the newly derived M 3621 nt and L 6581 nt segment sequences demonstrate that the entire TPM virus genome is very unique. Remarkably high sequence differences are seen at the nucleotide up to S - 47 M -
