Serological Survey of Hantavirus in Inhabitants from Tropical and Subtropical Areas of Brazil
Brazil has reported more than 1,600 cases of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HPS) since 1993, with a 39% rate of reported fatalities. Using a recombinant nucleocapsid protein of Araraquara virus, we performed ELISA to detect IgG antibodies against ...

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for the treatment of severe refractory hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome. [PDF]
A previously healthy 22-year-old man presented to a community hospital with diarrhea, vomiting, and a fever of 40°C that had lasted for two days. He was admitted to the intensive care unit. Initially, the patient’s cardiopulmonary findings were normal.

Targeted high volume hemofiltration could avoid extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in some patients with severe Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome. [PDF]
Abstract Background Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) has a high lethality. Severe cases may be rescued by venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO), alongside substantial complications. High volume hemofiltration (HVHF) is a depurative technique that provides homeostatic balance allowing hemodynamic stabilization in some ...

Human-to-Human Transmission of Andes Virus Modeled in Syrian Hamsters
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 ...

Modeling of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome
Introduction Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome is an infection caused by rodents of the Bunyanvirales family towards humans. This disease in Chile is considered endemic, which has a high fatality rate. At present, some studies show the contagion between people of the Andes virus, whose locality is concentrated in Argentina and Chile.

The influence of sugarcane pre‐harvest fire on hantavirus prevalence in Neotropical small mammals
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.

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.

Humoral Immune Responses in the Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome [PDF]
The immunologic responses that mediate viral clearance of and recovery from hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) due to Sin Nombre (SN) virus are unknown. Serial serum samples from 26 patients with acute SN virus infection were tested for IgG, IgA, and IgM reactivity to recombinant viral nucleocapsid (N) and glycoprotein G1 antigens by a novel ...
