Experimental Andes virus infection in deer mice: characteristics of infection and clearance in a heterologous rodent host. [PDF]
New World hantaviruses can cause hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome with high mortality in humans. Distinct virus species are hosted by specific rodent reservoirs, which also serve as the vectors.
