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.

Effect of Land‐Use on Hantavirus Infection Among Introduced and Endemic Small Mammals of Madagascar
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.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 ...

The role of diseases in mass mortality of wood lemmings (Myopus schisticolor) [PDF]
, 2021 Like many other rodent species, the wood lemming (Myopus schisticolor) exhibits cycles with large population peaks but unlike most other European rodents, these peaks are frequently followed by mass mortality.

Pet Rats as the Likely Reservoir for Human Seoul Orthohantavirus Infection
Viruses, 2023 Seoul orthohantavirus (SEOV) is a rat-associated zoonotic pathogen with an almost worldwide distribution. In 2019, the first autochthonous human case of SEOV-induced hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome was reported in Germany, and a pet rat was ...

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 ...

Orthohantavirus Isolated in Reservoir Host Cells Displays Minimal Genetic Changes and Retains Wild-Type Infection Properties [PDF]
, 2020 Orthohantaviruses are globally emerging zoonotic pathogens. While the reservoir host role of several rodent species is well-established, detailed research on the mechanisms of host-othohantavirus interactions has been constrained by the lack of an ...

Puumala Orthohantavirus Reassortant Genome Variants Likely Emerging in the Watershed Forests
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) remains a prevalent zoonosis in the Republic of Tatarstan (RT), Russian Federation. Puumala orthohantavirus (PUUV), carried by bank voles (Myodes glareolus), is the principal zoonotic pathogen of HFRS in the ...

Virus- and cell type-specific effects in orthohantavirus infection
Virus Research, 2019 Orthohantaviruses Hantaan (HTNV) and Puumala (PUUV) virus cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), that is characterized by acute renal failure with often massive proteinuria and by morphological changes of the tubular and glomerular apparatus. Orthohantaviral N protein is found in renal cells and plays a key role in replication.
