Hantaviruses as emergent zoonoses

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2008
Hantaviruses belong to the Bunyaviridae family, which consists of vector-borne viruses. These viruses can provoke two infection types: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) - which occurs in the Old World - and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (

Hantavirus RNA in Saliva from Patients with Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
Hantaviruses cause 2 zoonotic diseases, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome. Infection is usually initiated after inhalation of virus-contaminated rodent excreta.

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 ...

Two Atypical Cases of Hantavirus Infections from Sri Lanka

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
There are two categories of hantaviruses resulting in two distinct illnesses. The Old World (Asia and Europe) viruses give rise to hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), and the New World (Americas) viruses cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). Hantavirus infections have very similar clinical pictures and epidemiology to leptospirosis. Here,

Serum levels of inflammatory and regulatory cytokines in patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome [PDF]

, 2011
Background Hantaviruses are the causative agents of two zoonotic diseases: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS). The pathogenesis of HFRS is poorly understood.

Delayed viral clearance despite high number of activated T cells during the acute phase in Argentinean patients with hantavirus pulmonary syndrome [PDF]

, 2022
Background: The hallmarks of HPS are increase of vascular permeability and endothelial dysfunction. Although an exacerbated immune response is thought to be implicated in pathogenesis, clear evidence is still elusive.

A Cluster of Three Cases of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome among Canadian Military Personnel

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a rare illness in eastern Canada. We present three cases of HPS among military personnel in Quebec. The three cases shared a common exposure to mouse excreta while engaged in military training in Alberta, a western province of Canada.
