Nova virus
Virus classification
Group: Group V ((−)ssRNA)
Order: Unassigned
Family: Bunyaviridae
Genus: Hantavirus
Species: Nova virus

Nova virus (NVAV) is a single-stranded, negative-sense, enveloped RNA hantavirus. It is phylogenetically related to other European and Asian hantaviruses that cause hantavirus hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. No known human cases of infection have been reported.

Nova virus was first isolated in European moles (Talpa europaea) found in Hungary and France. Previously it was believed that rodents were the principal reservoir hosts, but field trapping has discovered hantavirus species in insectivoire bats, shrews, and moles (Soricidae and Talpidae).
