Clinical characterization of two severe cases of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) caused by hantaviruses Puumala and Dobrava-Belgrade genotype Sochi

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2016
Background Hantavirus disease belongs to the emerging infections. The clinical picture and severity of infections differ between hantavirus species and may even vary between hantavirus genotypes. The mechanisms that lead to the broad variance of severity

A Case of Mild Encephalitis/Encephalopathy with a Reversible Splenial Lesion (MERS) Caused by Hantavirus

Mediterranean Journal of Infection, Microbes and Antimicrobials, 2022
Hantavirus, which is seen globally, is a zoonotic pathogen that causes severe clinical pictures such as fever, thrombocytopenia-related hemorrhages and acute renal failure in humans. Their natural hosts are rodents, insectivorous animals and bats.

The fundamental role of endothelial cells in hantavirus pathogenesis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
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 ...

From Data to Knowledge to Wisdom: Lessons Learned From the Vancouver Rat Project

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
A synthesis of 15 years of research conducted by the Vancouver Rat Project revealed that: (1) Pathogen ecology within rat colonies is the result of complex interactions among rats, pathogens, and vectors. (2) Local and global population structures influence rat and pathogen ecology.

Drivers of bat researchers’ intent to adopt field hygiene practices

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infectious disease is a growing threat to wildlife, with zoonotic transmission most likely at the human–wildlife interface. One underappreciated activity at this interface is fieldwork with wild animals, but associated risks can be mitigated through field hygiene (FH) practices, such as using personal protective equipment and other appropriate

Beyond the Kidney and Lung: Cutaneous and Mucosal Clues to Human Hantavirus Disease

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
Rodent exposure and aerosolized excreta can lead to hantavirus infection with systemic endothelial injury and capillary leak, resulting in thrombocytopenia and syndromes such as HPS/HCPS and HFRS/NE. Early dermatologic and mucosal findings, including flushing, conjunctival injection, petechiae/purpura, and mucosal bleeding, may provide important clues ...
