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 ...

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 ...

Phylogenetic Characterization of Orthohantavirus dobravaense (Dobrava Virus)

Emerging Infectious Diseases
We report complete coding sequences of Orthohantavirus dobravaense (Dobrava virus) Igneada strains and phylogenetic characterization of all available complete coding sequences. Our analyses suggested separation of host-dependent lineages, followed by geographic clustering.

Dissection of the NKG2C NK cell response against Puumala Orthohantavirus

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
Background Infections with the Puumala orthohantavirus (PUUV) in humans may cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), known as nephropathia epidemica (NE), which is associated with acute renal failure in severe cases. In response to PUUV-infections, a subset of potent antiviral NKG2C+ NK cells expand, whose role in virus defence and ...

Puumala Hantavirus Infections Show Extensive Variation in Clinical Outcome

Viruses, 2023
The clinical outcome of Puumala hantavirus (PUUV) infection shows extensive variation, ranging from inapparent subclinical infection (70–80%) to severe hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), with about 0.1% of cases being fatal.

Hantaan virus glycoprotein Gc induces NEDD4‐dependent PTEN ubiquitination and degradation to escape the restriction of autophagosomes and facilitate viral propagation

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 1, 15 January 2025.
The proposed model of HTNV induced PTEN degradation and PTEN‐regulated autophagy in progeny virus production: In HTNV‐infected HK‐2 cells, the viral Gc glycoprotein specifically promotes NEDD4 mediated ubiquitination and degradation of PTEN. Disruption of PTEN expression prevents autophagosome formation and increases HTNV production, whereas ...

Unveiling Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) RNA‐ and DNA‐Based Virome in Western Kenya: Insights From Metatranscriptomic and Metagenomic Signatures

Advances in Virology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) is Kenya’s second most important agricultural product after maize, serving as a vital source of protein for many rural families in Western Kenya. However, viral diseases caused by RNA and DNA viruses greatly impair bean productivity, often leading to yield losses of up to 100%, thus contributing to food insecurity ...

Genetic diversity and phylogeography of Jeju Orthohantavirus (Hantaviridae) in the Republic of Korea

Virology, 2020
Orthohantaviruses are negative-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses harbored by rodents, shrews, moles, and bats. Of the shrew-borne orthohantaviruses in the Republic of Korea (ROK), Jeju orthohantavirus (Jeju virus, JJUV) was found on Jeju Island. This small-scale epidemiologic survey investigated the geographic distribution and molecular phylogeny of ...
