Polyclonal alpaca antibodies protect against hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in a lethal Syrian hamster model. [PDF]
The use of antibody-based therapies for the treatment of high consequence viral pathogens has gained interest over the last fifteen years. Here, we sought to evaluate the use of unique camelid-based IgG antibodies to prevent lethal hantavirus pulmonary ...

Emerging hantaviruses in Central Argentina: First case of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome caused by Alto Paraguay virus, and a novel orthohantavirus in Scapteromys aquaticus rodent. [PDF]
Orthohantaviruses are emerging rodent-borne pathogens that cause Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome in humans. They have a wide range of rodent reservoir hosts and are transmitted to humans through aerosolized viral particles generated by the excretions of ...

Imported Fatal Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome
To the Editor: Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is characterized by fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, respiratory distress, elevated hematocrit, hypoalbuminemia, and thrombocytopenia. Most cases in North America are acquired from rodent vectors and are caused by the Sin Nombre virus. Person-to-person transmission has been reported for Andes virus (1,

Person-to-Person Transmission of Andes Virus in Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, Argentina, 2014. [PDF]
Andes virus is unique among hantaviruses because it can be transmitted from person to person. This mechanism was previously supported by epidemiologic data and genetic evidence based only on partial sequences.

Serum Markers Associated with Severity and Outcome of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome. [PDF]
Background Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is caused by Andes virus (ANDV) and related hantaviruses in the Americas. Despite a fatality rate of 40%, the pathogenesis of HPS is poorly understood and factors associated with severity, fatality, and ...
