Vesicular Stomatitis Virus-Based Vaccine Protects Hamsters against Lethal Challenge with Andes Virus [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2011
ABSTRACT Andes virus (ANDV) is a highly pathogenic South American hantavirus that causes hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). A high case fatality rate, the potential for human-to-human transmission, the capacity to infect via aerosolization, and the absence of effective therapies make it imperative that a safe, fast-acting, and ...

Phylogenetics and Evolution of Potato Virus V: Another Potyvirus that Originated in the Andes

Plant Disease, 2022
Potato virus V (PVV) causes a disease of potato (Solanum tubersosum) in South and Central America, Europe, and the Middle East. We report here the complete genomic sequences of 42 new PVV isolates from the potato’s Andean domestication center in Peru and of eight historical or recent isolates from Europe. When the principal open reading frames of these

Evidence of hantavirus infection in wild rodents captured in a rural area of the state of São Paulo, Brazil Evidência de infecção por hantavírus em roedores silvestres capturados em uma área rural do estado de São Paulo, Brasil

Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2004
Hantaviruses are the etiological agents of the Hantavirus Cardio-Pulmonary Syndrome, a serious rodent-borne disease in Brazil. In order to investigate the occurrence of hantavirus infection in wild rodents, a survey was conducted in three different ...

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

Biology, 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 ...

Novel infection of pericytes by Andes virus enhances endothelial cell permeability

Virus Research, 2021
Andes Virus (ANDV) non-lytically infects pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMECs) causing a severe capillary leak syndrome termed Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS). Basolaterally, PMECs are in contact with pericytes which play critical roles in regulating PMEC permeability and immune cell recruitment.

Andes Hantavirus Variant in Rodents, Southern Amazon Basin, Peru

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
We investigated hantaviruses in rodents in the southern Amazon Basin of Peru and identified an Andes virus variant from Neacomys spinosus mice. This finding extends the known range of this virus in South America and the range of recognized hantaviruses ...

Antigenic mapping and functional characterization of human New World hantavirus neutralizing antibodies

eLife, 2023
Hantaviruses are high-priority emerging pathogens carried by rodents and transmitted to humans by aerosolized excreta or, in rare cases, person-to-person contact.

Phage Display Selection of Cyclic Peptides That Inhibit Andes Virus Infection [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2009
ABSTRACT Specific therapy is not available for hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome caused by Andes virus (ANDV). Peptides capable of blocking ANDV infection in vitro were identified using antibodies against ANDV surface glycoproteins Gn and Gc to competitively elute a cyclic nonapeptide-bearing phage display library from purified ANDV ...

Animal‐Mediated Dispersal and Clonal Growth Drive Prunus cerasus Invasion in Andean Temperate Forest

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Prunus cerasus reproduces by clonality and by seed dispersal and germination. P. cerasus is invading Patagonian protected areas. The relative relevance of germination and clonal reproduction changes along the time of P. cerasus arrival at a site. Seed dispersal by foxes is primarily responsible for the spread of P. cerasus to new areas.

geohabnet: An R package for mapping habitat connectivity for biosecurity and conservation

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Habitat connectivity is critical for the conservation of endangered and endemic species, and conversely, it can hinder efforts to contain the spread of harmful biological agents. Here, we introduce geohabnet: a general, spatially explicit, network‐based R package for evaluating, estimating and mapping landscape connectivity from continuous ...
