Gastrointestinal Tract As Entry Route for Hantavirus Infection

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Background: Hantaviruses are zoonotic agents that cause hemorrhagic fevers and are thought to be transmitted to humans by exposure to aerosolized excreta of infected rodents. Puumala virus (PUUV) is the predominant endemic hantavirus in Europe.

Temporal dynamics of Puumala hantavirus infection in cyclic populations of bank voles

Scientific Reports, 2016
Understanding the dynamics of zoonotic pathogens in their reservoir host populations is a prerequisite for predicting and preventing human disease epidemics.

Cytotoxic immune responses in the lungs correlate to disease severity in patients with hantavirus infection

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2016
Hantavirus infections may cause severe and sometime life-threatening lung failure. The pathogenesis is not fully known and there is an urgent need for effective treatment.

A neuropathic pain syndrome associated with hantavirus infection

Journal of Neurovirology, 2017
Hantaviruses are a group of single-stranded RNA viruses of the Bunyaviridae family. “New World” hantaviruses cause hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) in North America.

Human hantavirus infection elicits pronounced redistribution of mononuclear phagocytes in peripheral blood and airways

PLoS Pathogens, 2017
Hantaviruses infect humans via inhalation of virus-contaminated rodent excreta. Infection can cause severe disease with up to 40% mortality depending on the viral strain.

Hantavirus Infection Suppresses Thrombospondin-1 Expression in Cultured Endothelial Cells in a Strain-Specific Manner

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Hantavirus infection is associated with two frequently fatal diseases in humans: Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS).

Modelling human Puumala hantavirus infection in relation to bank vole abundance and masting intensity in the Netherlands

Infection Ecology & Epidemiology, 2017
This paper deals with modelling the relationship between human Puumala hantavirus (PUUV) infection, the abundance and prevalence of infection of the host (the bank vole), mast, and temperature.

Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism Case Reports, 2016
Summary Puumala hantavirus (PUUV) infection causes nephropathia epidemica (NE), a relatively mild form of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS).

Hantaviral Proteins: Structure, Functions, and Role in Hantavirus Infection

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Hantaviruses are the members of the family Bunyaviridae that are naturally maintained in the populations of small mammals, mostly rodents. Most of these viruses can easily infect humans through contact with aerosols or dust generated by contaminated ...

Serological evidence of hantavirus infection in an urban area in Mato Grosso State, Brazil.

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2016
INTRODUCTION In Brazil, Mato Grosso (MT) has the highest number of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome cases. Our study aimed to identify anti-hantavirus antibodies in the sera of patients from Sinop, MT, presenting with acute febrile illness.
