The Chinese mole shrew (Anourosorex squamipes) is one of four species of Asian mole shrew in the genus Anourosorex.[2]
Despite the name, it is found not only in China but also in northeast India , Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. Like all other species of the genus Anourosorex, the Chinese mole shrew is fossorial, and is found in montane forests.[1] In 2006, the Centers for Disease Control reported this species can carry a version of the hantavirus, which is genetically distinct from rodent hantavirus and new to science.[3]
