Progress on the Prevention and Treatment of Hantavirus Disease
Hantaviruses, members of the order Bunyavirales, family Hantaviridae, have a world-wide distribution and are responsible for greater than 150,000 cases of disease per year.

The fundamental role of endothelial cells in hantavirus pathogenesis
Hantavirus, a genus of rodent- and insectivore-borne viruses in the family Bunyaviridae, is a group of emerging zoonotic pathogens. Hantaviruses cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) in man ...

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.

Potential renal sequelae in survivors of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome. [PDF]
Although other hantaviruses are associated with renal manifestations, hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) has not been associated with such sequelae. The HCPS survivors were prospectively evaluated for renal complications. Subjects underwent yearly evaluation, laboratory studies, and 24-hour urine collection. Thirty subjects were evaluated after

Of voles and men: novel Hantavirus in vitro models [PDF]
Hantavirus-infection can cause severe disease in humans, with up to 40% case fatalities. Presently, no therapeutics or prophylaxis against hantaviral illness exists.

Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome: a report of two cases [PDF]
Infection with hantavirus, from the family Bunyaviridae, causes hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) in the Americas. This highly lethal anthropozoonosis afflicts preferentially individuals in rural areas and is transmitted by aerosol of excreta from infected wild rodents.

Dendritic Cells (DCs) as "Fire Accelerants" of Hantaviral Pathogenesis [PDF]
Hantaviruses are widespread zoonotic pathogens found around the globe. Depending on their geographical location, hantaviruses can cause two human syndromes, haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) or hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS).

The hanta hunting study: Underdiagnosis of puumala hantavirus infections in symptomatic non-travelling leptospirosis-suspected patients in the Netherlands, in 2010 and April to November 2011 [PDF]
Leptospirosis and haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) are hard to distinguish clinically since these two important rodent-borne zoonoses share hallmark symptoms such as renal failure and haemorrhage.

neutrophils are on the payroll [PDF]
Viral hemorrhagic fever caused by hantaviruses is an emerging infectious disease for which suitable treatments are not available. In order to improve this situation a better understanding of hantaviral pathogenesis is urgently required.

Abstract Objective Orthohantaviruses are geographically widely distributed and present various clinical manifestations from mild symptoms to the severe form of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Eurasia. Official registration of HFRS in Kazakhstan started in the year 2000.
