Sin nombre virus and rodent species diversity: a test of the dilution and amplification hypotheses. [PDF]
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.

Cardiopulmonary Failure in Hantavirus Disease: Mechanisms, Recognition, and ECMO-Based Management [PDF]
Background: Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), also designated hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome, is caused by New World hantaviruses, principally Sin Nombre virus in North America and Andes virus in South America.

Tracing Transmission of Sin Nombre Virus and Discovery of Infection in Multiple Rodent Species. [PDF]
Orthohantaviruses cause severe disease in humans and can be lethal in up to 40% of cases. Sin Nombre orthohantavirus (SNV) is the main cause of hantavirus disease in North America.

Andes virus and sin nombre virus: Similarities and distinctive features. [PDF]
The threat of hanta virus infection has come to the forefront in recent weeks, following the outbreak of the Andes virus aboard the Dutch-flagged MV Hondius cruise ship during its Spring 2026 voyage. Several passengers and crew members got infected because Andes virus is the sole known hanta virus to trigger human-to-human infection.

Sin Nombre Virus Infection in Deer Mice, Channel Islands, California
To the Editor: Sin Nombre virus (SNV) is a highly virulent strain of hantavirus associated with rodent hosts in North America (1,2). Documenting the prevalence of SNV in wild rodent populations is an important component of determining risk for exposure and ultimately providing sound recommendations for epidemiologic management (3). Prevalence of SNV is

Human exposure to particulate matter potentially contaminated with sin nombre virus. [PDF]
The most common mechanism for human exposure to hantaviruses throughout North America is inhalation of virally contaminated particulates. However, risk factors associated with exposure to particulates potentially contaminated with hantaviruses are generally not well understood. In North America, Sin Nombre virus (SNV) is the most common hantavirus that

Hantaviruses are the etiological agent of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS). The latter is associated with case fatality rates ranging from 30% to 50%.
