Beyond the Kidney and Lung: Cutaneous and Mucosal Clues to Human Hantavirus Disease. [PDF]
Int J DermatolRodent exposure and aerosolized excreta can lead to hantavirus infection with systemic endothelial injury and capillary leak, resulting in thrombocytopenia and syndromes such as HPS/HCPS and HFRS/NE. Early dermatologic and mucosal findings, including flushing, conjunctival injection, petechiae/purpura, and mucosal bleeding, may provide important clues ...

Incidence, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and pharmacological management of the 2026 Andes virus outbreak. [PDF]
Virol JHantavirus is considered as a fatal zoonotic pathogen that can be commonly transmitted from rodents to humans. However, the Andes virus (ANDV), a type of New World hantavirus, can also be transmitted from human to human.

Cardiopulmonary Failure in Hantavirus Disease: Mechanisms, Recognition, and ECMO-Based Management. [PDF]
VirusesBackground: Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), also designated hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome, is caused by New World hantaviruses, principally Sin Nombre virus in North America and Andes virus in South America.

Viruses, 2011 We previously hypothesized that increased capillary permeability observed in both hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) may be caused by hantavirus-specific cytotoxic T cells attacking endothelial ...

Human-to-Human Transmission of Andes Virus Modeled in Syrian Hamsters
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023 Several occurrences of human-to-human transmission of Andes virus, an etiological agent of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome, are documented. Syrian hamsters consistently model human hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome, yet neither transmission nor ...

The influence of sugarcane pre‐harvest fire on hantavirus prevalence in Neotropical small mammals
Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022 Abstract The use of pre‐harvest fire in sugarcane fields surprisingly results in an increase in the abundance of Neotropical Sigmodontinae rodents, which might carry hantavirus. By contrast, fire suspension induces a decline in rodents in the first 5 years.

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page 579-586, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Puumala orthohantavirus (PUUV) is the most important hantavirus species in Europe, causing the majority of human hantavirus disease cases. In central and western Europe, the occurrence of human infections is mainly driven by bank vole population dynamics influenced by beech mast.
