Effect of Land‐Use on Hantavirus Infection Among Introduced and Endemic Small Mammals of Madagascar [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionHantaviruses are globally distributed zoonotic pathogens capable of causing fatal disease in humans. Addressing the risk of hantavirus spillover from animal reservoirs to humans requires identifying the local reservoirs (usually rodents and other small ...

Hantavirus infection mimicking leptospirosis: how long are we going to rely on clinical suspicion?
Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2014 Hantavirus infections and leptospirosis can have similar clinical and epidemiological features. We present here a case study of a young farmer with fever during the post-flood leptospirosis outbreak in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka, in 2011.
