Human exposure to particulate matter potentially contaminated with sin nombre virus. [PDF]
Ecohealth, 2013 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 ...

Evaluating Neutralizing Antibodies in Hantavirus-Infected Patients Using Authentic Virus and Recombinant Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Systems [PDF]
VirusesHantaviruses, 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.

Temporal and geographic evidence for evolution of Sin Nombre virus using molecular analyses of viral RNA from Colorado, New Mexico and Montana [PDF]
Virology Journal, 2009 Background All viruses in the family Bunyaviridae possess a tripartite genome, consisting of a small, a medium, and a large RNA segment. Bunyaviruses therefore possess considerable evolutionary potential, attributable to both intramolecular changes and ...

Neutralizing Antibodies in Survivors of Sin Nombre and Andes Hantavirus Infection
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006 We evaluated titers of homotypic and heterotypic neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) to Andes and Sin Nombre hantaviruses in plasma samples from 20 patients from Chile and the United States. All but 1 patient had high titers of NAb. None of the plasma samples

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1997 Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, first documented in 1993, is caused by Sin Nombre virus (SNV), which is carried by the Peromyscus species. In 1994, high SNV antibody prevalence was identified in deer mice from two California Channel Islands.

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004 Patients who later have a mild course of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) are more likely to exhibit a high titer of neutralizing antibodies against Sin Nombre virus (SNV), the etiologic agent of HCPS, at the time of hospital admission. Because

Acute Sin Nombre Hantavirus Infection without Pulmonary Syndrome, United States
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999 Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) occurs in most infections with Sin Nombre virus and other North American hantaviruses. We report five cases of acute hantavirus infection that did not fit the HPS case definition.

Community Assembly Reveals How Environmental Controls Over Rodent Competition Drive Deer Mouse Density and Hantavirus Infection [PDF]
Ecol LettWe 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.

Temporal Analysis of Andes Virus and Sin Nombre Virus Infections of Syrian Hamsters [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 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.
