Ecologic Traits Analysis for Identifying Rodent Hosts for Arenavirus and Hepacivirus in the Americas
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.Over half of emerging human pathogens originate from wildlife, with rodents serving as key zoonotic hosts. This study used ecological trait‐based models to identify rodent traits associated with arenavirus and hepacivirus infections and detect potential host species across the Americas, our models achieve high predictive accuracy (AUC = 0.92–0.96).

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 7, July 2025.ABSTRACT Orthohantavirus puumalaense causes hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in Europe, with Puumala virus (PUUV) as its primary representative. Muju virus (MUJV), harbored by Craseomys regulus, an Arvicolinae rodent species endemic to the Republic of Korea (ROK), is also a genotype of O. puumalaense.

Land Use Change and Infectious Disease Emergence
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 2, June 2025.Abstract Major infectious diseases threatening human health are transmitted to people from animals or by arthropod vectors such as insects. In recent decades, disease outbreaks have become more common, especially in tropical regions, including new and emerging infections that were previously undetected or unknown. Even though there is growing awareness

Climate Change‐Driven Heatwaves Pose Lethal Risks to Newborn Forest Bats
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.This is the first recorded case of forest bat mortality in temperate regions caused by heatwaves. The study suggests that forest fragmentation exposes bats to lethal thermal peaks, highlighting a previously overlooked impact of climate change on these mammals and potential interactions with forest fragmentation.

Hantavirus Regulation of Type I Interferon Responses
Advances in Virology, 2012 Hantaviruses primarily infect human endothelial cells (ECs) and cause two highly lethal human diseases. Early addition of Type I interferon (IFN) to ECs blocks hantavirus replication and thus for hantaviruses to be pathogenic they need to prevent early ...

Sympatry of 2 Hantavirus Strains, Paraguay, 2003–2007
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 To explore geographic and host-taxonomic patterns of hantaviruses in Paraguay, we established sampling sites in the Mbaracayú Biosphere Reserve. We detected Jaborá virus and Itapúa37/Juquitiba–related virus in locations ≈20 m apart in different years ...

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 1997 Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) and Ebola hemorrhagic fever are acute diseases with high mortality rates in humans caused by negative-stranded RNA viruses for which we have no vaccines. These viruses present two very different profiles when their ecology, history, and status as emerging pathogens are considered. This paper will discuss the dynamics

Hantavirus in rodents in the United States: Temporal and spatial trends and report of new hosts
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2025.Abstract In North America, the rodent‐borne hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is predominantly caused by the Sin Nombre virus, typically associated with the deer mouse Peromyscus maniculatus. Utilizing data from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) hantavirus program, we assessed factors that may influence the spatial and temporal ...
