The invention discloses a primer, kit and method for conducting genetic typing on the hantavirus by means of a PCR direct sequencing method. The primer comprises an upstream primer: ATTAGCCCWGTCATGAGTGT, and a downstream primer: CTTTGACTCYTTTGKYTCCA, wherein the Y is a C or a T, the W is an A or a T, and the K is a G or a T. The method comprises the steps of extracting a total RNA of a virus sample to be tested, conducting reverse transcription to obtain a cDNA, using the cDNA as a template, utilizing the primer for conducting PCR amplification, conducting sequencing on an amplified target fragment, constructing a phylogenetic tree by using corresponding fragments of known genotype representative strains as a reference on the basis of sequence information of the target fragment, and conducting the genetic typing on the virus sample to be tested according to the phylogenetic tree. When the primer is used, a specificity sequence of an S gene of the hantavirus can be obtained by only conducting one-time PCR amplification, and the genetic typing can be easily, conveniently and rapidly carried out on the hantavirus by utilizing the specificity sequence.
