To date, several genetically distinct hantaviruses have been found in the same species of shrews and moles. In this report, we describe Biya River virus (BIRV), a novel hantavirus detected in the Eurasian water shrew (Neomys fodiens), the principal host of Boginia virus (BOGV). Genetic analysis of the complete L- and M-genomic segments and partial S-genomic segments showed that BIRV shared a common evolutionary origin with shrew-borne Altai (ALTV) and Lena (LENV) viruses, belonging to the Mobatvirus genus, and that BIRV was distantly related to BOGV and other shrew- and mole-borne orthohantaviruses. Ancient cross-species transmission of hantaviruses, with subsequent diversification within the Soricinae subfamily in Eurasia, might have shaped the evolutionary history of BIRV, ALTV, and LENV.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v17111499","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,13]],"date-time":"2025-11-13T09:10:45Z","timestamp":1763025045000},"page":"1499","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Biya River Virus, a Novel Hantavirus of the Eurasian Water Shrew (Neomys fodiens) in Russia"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2844-7835","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liudmila N.","family":"Yashina","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology Vector, 630559 Koltsovo, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7921-6696","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sergey A.","family":"Abramov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals SB RAS, 630091 Novosibirsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8245-4588","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ekaterina M.","family":"Luchnikova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ecology and Environmental Management, Institute of Biology, Ecology and Natural Resources, Kemerovo State University, 650099 Kemerovo, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5082-8071","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natalia A.","family":"Smetannikova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology Vector, 630559 Koltsovo, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9608-2044","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tatiana V.","family":"Tregubchak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology Vector, 630559 Koltsovo, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4487-1815","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tamara A.","family":"Dupal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals SB RAS, 630091 Novosibirsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4824-6061","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anton V.","family":"Krivopalov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals SB RAS, 630091 Novosibirsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9633-9938","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Evgenia D.","family":"Vdovina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ecology and Environmental Management, Institute of Biology, Ecology and Natural Resources, Kemerovo State University, 650099 Kemerovo, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9347-8614","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Richard","family":"Yanagihara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, John A.
