Background: Hantaviruses, like other members of the Bunyaviridae family, are emerging viruses that are able to cause hemorrhagic fevers. They are the etiological agents of 2 syndromes geographically distributed: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Europe and Asia, and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) in America. There are 52 hantavirus species. Research on them, has not been equal. So far, there is no comprehensive bibliometric studies assessing advances in their research. Methods & Materials: Bibliometric studies at 6 databases: Web of Sciences (WoS)®, Scopus®, GoPubMED, SciELO, Google Scholar and LILACS, assessing the global scientific production on SINV, measuring the number of article per countries, productive institutions, number of original articles, published historically and during the last 5 years (2012-2016), productive authors, citations and H index, among others. Results: For Hantaan virus (HTNV), in WoS (N = 599) and Scopus (N = 4858): USA(187[31.2%]/1436[29.6%]), China(146[24.4%]/132[2.7%]), Germany(75[12.5%]/399[8.2%]) and Finland(313[6.4%]/61[10.2%]). For Andes virus (ANDV), the most productive countries in WoS (N = 305) and Scopus (N = 1024) were: USA(155[50.8%]/431[42.1%]), Argentina(75[24.6%]/119[11.6%]) and Chile(75[24.6%]/127[12.4%]). For Puumala virus (PUUV), in WoS (N = 834) and Scopus (N = 983): Finland(214[25.7%]/212[21.6%]), Sweden(185[22.2%]/204[20.8%]) and Germany(181[21.7%]/174[17.7%]). For Prospect Hill virus (PHV), in WoS (N = 45) and Scopus (N = 437): USA(29[64.4%]/250[57.2%]), Finland(6[13.3%]/23[5.3%]), and Germany(5[11.1%]/34[7.8%]). For Sin Nombre virus (SNV), in WoS (N = 546) and Scopus (N = 418): USA(402[73.6%]/317[75.8%]), Finland(38[7.0%]/10[2.4%]), and Argentina(37[6.8%]/20[4.8%]). For Seoul virus (SEOV), in WoS (N = 262) and Scopus (N = 387): USA(97[37.0%]/115[29.7%]), China(57[21.8%]/69[17.8%]), Sweden(39[14.9%]/38[9.8%]) and Japan(36[13.7%]/46[11.9%]). Countries with higher H-index(Scopus) for Hantaan (overall H-index = 96): Finland(80/27,017 citations), Germany(49/8,205 citations) and USA(47/6,799 citations). Conclusion: As in other studies, scientific production by USA is predominant. Regional epidemiology, as expected, influenced also on scientific research on specific species. These zoonotic arboviruses are still of high impact, then, is necessary to increase its global research. Even more, for emerging species, such as Caño Delgadito (CADV)(7 papers in Medline) or Maporal virus (MAPV)(11), isolated in the last years in Western Venezuela, a country with stuck research due to the sociopolitical situation.
