Spatial expansions and travelling waves of rabies in vampire bats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A major obstacle to anticipating the cross-species transmission of zoonotic diseases and developing novel strategies for their control is the scarcity of data informing how these pathogens circulate within natural reservoir populations.

Zoonotic Hantaviridae with Global Public Health Significance

open access: yesViruses, 2023
Hantaviridae currently encompasses seven genera and 53 species. Multiple hantaviruses such as Hantaan virus, Seoul virus, Dobrava-Belgrade virus, Puumala virus, Andes virus, and Sin Nombre virus are highly pathogenic to humans.

Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome: Current situation among rodent reservoirs and human population in the Xth Region, Chile [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In Chile, three Hantavirus seropositive rodent species (O longicaudatus, A olivaceus and A longipilis) are distributed from the Pacific coast to the Andes mountains and represent nearly 90% of the rodents captured in the Xth Region.

Andes Virus and First Case Report of Bermejo Virus Causing Fatal Pulmonary Syndrome

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2002
Two suspected hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) cases from Bolivia were confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. (ELISA)-ANDES was performed using N-Andes recombinant antigen serology in May and July 2000.

Host-pathogen evolutionary signatures reveal dynamics and future invasions of vampire bat rabies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Anticipating how epidemics will spread across landscapes requires understanding host dispersal events that are notoriously difficult to measure. Here, we contrast host and virus genetic signatures to resolve the spatiotemporal dynamics underlying ...

Proteinuria in Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome: A Frequent Finding Linked To Mortality

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021
Objectives: To determine the relative frequency and prognosis value of proteinuria in hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) due to Andes virus. Methods: This observational analytical study prospectively obtained data from patients admitted to 12 ...

Knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding hantavirus disease and acceptance of a vaccine trial in rural communities of southern Chile

open access: yesHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2017
Andes hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome, transmitted by Oligoryzomys longicaudatus, has no approved treatment, a case fatality rate of 35%, and documented person-to-person transmission. An Andes vaccine, highly needed for prevention, is in development.

Person-to-Person Transmission of Andes Virus

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
Despite the fact that rodents are considered to be the infectious source of hantavirus for humans, another route of transmission was demonstrated. Andes virus (ANDV) has been responsible for most of the cases recorded in Argentina.

Bat and virus [PDF]

open access: yesProtein & Cell, 2010
Bat, the only flying mammal and count more than 20% of the extant mammals on earth, were recently identified as a natural reservoir of emerging and reemerging infectious pathogens. Astonishing amount (more than 70) and genetic diversity of viruses isolated from the bat have been identified in different populations throughout the world.

Sin Nombre Virus and the Emergence of Other Hantaviruses: A Review of the Biology, Ecology, and Disease of a Zoonotic Pathogen

open access: yesBiology, 2023
Sin Nombre virus (SNV) is an emerging virus that was first discovered in the Four Corners region of the United States in 1993. The virus causes a disease known as Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS), sometimes called Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome ...
