Contact heterogeneity in deer mice: implications for Sin Nombre virus transmission. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2009 Heterogeneities within disease hosts suggest that not all individuals have the same probability of transmitting disease or becoming infected. This heterogeneity is thought to be due to dissimilarity in susceptibility and exposure among hosts. As such, it has been proposed that many host–pathogen systems follow the general pattern whereby a

Sin Nombre Virus and the Emergence of Other Hantaviruses: A Review of the Biology, Ecology, and Disease of a Zoonotic Pathogen [PDF]
Biology, 2023 Sin Nombre virus (SNV) is an emerging virus that was first discovered in the Four Corners region of the United States in 1993. The virus causes a disease known as Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS), sometimes called Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome ...

Sin nombre virus and rodent species diversity: a test of the dilution and amplification hypotheses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Species diversity is proposed to greatly impact the prevalence of pathogens. Two predominant hypotheses, the "Dilution Effect" and the "Amplification Effect", predict divergent outcomes with respect to the impact of species diversity.

Temporal analysis of Andes virus and Sin Nombre virus infections of Syrian hamsters. [PDF]
J Virol, 2007 ABSTRACTAndes virus (ANDV) and Sin Nombre virus (SNV) are rodent-borne hantaviruses that cause a highly lethal hemorrhagic fever in humans known as hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). There are no vaccines or specific drugs to prevent or treat HPS, and the pathogenesis is not understood.

Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems: Charting Sin Nombre Virus Infections in Deer Mice [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2000 We tested environmental data from remote sensing and geographic information system maps as indicators of Sin Nombre virus (SNV) infections in deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) populations in the Walker River Basin, Nevada and California.

Sin Nombre Virus in Deer Mice Captured Inside Homes, Southwestern Montana [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2000 From 1996 through 1999, 35 deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) were captured in 25 urban and suburban homes in southwestern Montana. Mice were captured throughout the year except for January; seven mice (20%) from seven (28%) of the homes were ...

Natural History of Sin Nombre Virus in Western Colorado
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999 A mark-recapture longitudinal study of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody to Sin Nombre virus (SNV) in rodent populations in western Colorado (1994—results summarized to October 1997) indicates the presence of SNV or a closely related hantavirus at two ...

T-cell epitopes predicted from the Nucleocapsid protein of Sin Nombre virus restricted to 30 HLA alleles common to the North American population. [PDF]
Bioinformation, 2017 Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome in North America is caused by Sin Nombre virus (SNV) and poses a public health problem. We identified T-cell epitopes restricted to HLA alleles commonly seen in the N. American population.
