Effect of Land-Use on Hantavirus Infection Among Introduced and Endemic Small Mammals of Madagascar. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Addressing the risk of Hantavirus spillover from animal reservoirs to humans requires identifying the local reservoirs and the predictors of infection. We screened a collection of 1880 small mammals for Hantavirus RNA from northeastern Madagascar, and specifically investigated the influence of diverse natural or anthropized habitats as well as animal ...

Hantavirus is Associated With Open Developed Areas and Arid Climates, Highlighting Increased Risk in the Western United States. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
In the United States, hantaviruses can cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in humans, an acute respiratory illness with a high mortality rate. Most people contract HPS from exposure to infected rodent excrement. The interannual dynamics of hantavirus transmission are tied to both environmental and human‐related factors, including changes in ...

Unraveling the Mechanistic Links Between Species Diversity and Infection Risk From Zoonotic Pathogens With Direct Transmission Among Reservoir Hosts: Rodent-Orthohantavirus Systems as Models. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In this review, we synthesize mechanistic evidence for diversity‐disease patterns in rodent‐orthohantavirus systems in the Americas, models of directly transmitted disease systems. We found that host regulation has been examined the most while other mechanisms have received less attention. Based on our findings, we propose that for a negative diversity‐

New World hantaviruses [PDF]

British Medical Bulletin, 1998
Since the initial description in 1993 of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome and its novel aetiological agent, Sin Nombre virus, our knowledge of the epidemiology of New World hantaviruses has continued to evolve. After the identifying outbreak in the southwestern US, four hantaviruses have been identified in North America with specific rodent hosts and ...

Biodefense Implications of New-World Hantaviruses

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Hantaviruses, part of the Bunyaviridae family, are a genus of negative-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses that cause two major diseases: New-World Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome and Old-World Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome.

Hantaviruses: A Global Disease Problem

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1997
Hantaviruses are carried by numerous rodent species throughout the world. In 1993, a previously unknown group of hantaviruses emerged in the United States as the cause of an acute respiratory disease now termed hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). Before

Novel Insights on Hantavirus Evolution: The Dichotomy in Evolutionary Pressures Acting on Different Hantavirus Segments. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Hantaviruses are important emerging zoonotic pathogens. The current understanding of hantavirus evolution is complicated by the lack of consensus on co-divergence of hantaviruses with their animal hosts.

FIRST EVIDENCE OF HANTAVIRUSES CIRCULATION IN RODENTS HOST (MUS DOMESTICUS) ON FARMS IN PIEDMONT, NORTHWESTERN ITALY, IN A ONE HEALTH APPROACH

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023
Intro: Hantaviruses are zoonotic viral agents mainly spread by rodents. Several strains are known worldwide, displaying rodent-host specificity and causing different clinical diseases in humans.

What Do We Know about How Hantaviruses Interact with Their Different Hosts?

Viruses, 2016
Hantaviruses, like other members of the Bunyaviridae family, are emerging viruses that are able to cause hemorrhagic fevers. Occasional transmission to humans is due to inhalation of contaminated aerosolized excreta from infected rodents.
