[Recent advance in phlebovirus].

Genus Phlebovirus is single negative-strand RNA virus, and belongs to family bunyaviridae. Its genomes have three segments including L, M and S encoding RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, envelope glycoprotein and nucleoprotein respectively. Phlebovirus is arbovirus and can be disseminated by arthropod. More than 70 types of Phlebovirus so far have been reported, and 68 known serotypes are divided into groups Sandfly fever and Uukuniemi, of which a few members are closely related to human diseases. In addition, new emerging viruses of genus Phlebovirus are discovered recently. In this review, the latest research progress in molecular characteristics, epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment and emerging viruses of Phlebovirus is summarized.
