Food Subsidy Effects on Host Foraging Behavior Shape Host–Macroparasite Infection Dynamics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Wildlife behavioral responses to different distributions of food subsidies could shape encounter and infection intensity of environmentally transmitted parasites. Using a mathematical model, we show that the way in which food subsidy changes transmission rate and variation in parasite burdens (e.g., through changes in time spent foraging and variation ...

Endoparasites of Rattus norvegicus With Reference to Their Zoonotic Importance in an Urban District, East Kuwait

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Rattus norvegicus (the brown rat) is adaptable to living in urban settlements across the globe, including Kuwait where this rodent species is widespread in human habitats. It has been known that brown rats are reservoirs of many pathogens, including parasites that can pose a threat to human and animal health.

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 ...

Laboratory Data Analysis of Hemorrhagic Fever With Renal Syndrome Patients to Predict Disease Severity and Patient Prognosis

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 39, Issue 23, December 2025.
Prompt access to care with proper treatment is essential for preventing patients from developing renal failure and unfavorable outcomes. This study aimed to elucidate laboratory parameters associated with HFRS severity and prognosis to predict disease course and initiate prompt clinical management.

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).

Molecular Evolution and Zoonotic Potential of Muju Virus (Orthohantavirus puumalaense) in Craseomys regulus, Republic of Korea

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.
