Evaluating Neutralizing Antibodies in Hantavirus-Infected Patients Using Authentic Virus and Recombinant Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Systems [PDF]
Hantaviruses, including the Sin Nombre virus (SNV) and Andes virus (ANDV), are associated with severe global health risks, causing high mortality rates in hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) patients.

Structural and functional characterization of the Sin Nombre virus L protein. [PDF]
The Bunyavirales order is a large and diverse group of segmented negative-strand RNA viruses. Several virus families within this order contain important human pathogens, including Sin Nombre virus (SNV) of the Hantaviridae. Despite the high epidemic potential of bunyaviruses, specific medical countermeasures such as vaccines or antivirals are missing ...

Sin Nombre Virus in Deer Mice Captured Inside Homes, Southwestern Montana [PDF]
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 ...

Community Assembly Reveals How Environmental Controls Over Rodent Competition Drive Deer Mouse Density and Hantavirus Infection [PDF]
We examined how community assembly processes shape Sin Nombre hantavirus (SNV) dynamics in rodent communities across the southwestern United States. Environmental factors structured community composition, which regulated deer mouse abundance and SNV infection, rather than diversity alone.

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.

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%.

Kinetics of immune responses in deer mice experimentally infected with Sin Nombre virus. [PDF]
ABSTRACTDeer mice are the principal reservoir hosts of Sin Nombre virus, the etiologic agent of most hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome cases in North America. Infection of deer mice results in persistence without conspicuous pathology, and most, if not all, infected mice remain infected for life, with periods of viral shedding.
