Molecular screening of potential bat-borne hantavirus and determination of species richness and composition of bats in selected habitats within the woodland and savanna biomes in Namibia
… health significance including old and emerging hantaviruses. The burden of hantavirus disease is globally well-documented but this remains unknown and unrecognised in many African countries including in Namibia. This study investigated the patterns of species richness and composition of bats as …

BEHAVIORAL ECOLOGY OF ORYZOMYS PALUSTRIS (MARSH RICE RAT) IN COASTAL TEXAS: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE LIFE-HISTORY STRATEGY OF BAYOU VIRUS (BAYV)
Prior to the 1990s, Hantaviruses (Family: Bunyaviridae) and their manifest human syndromes were viewed as public health concerns primarily for Eurasia. However, the Sin Nombre virus (SNV) outbreak of 1993-94 in the southwestern U. S. brought Hanta to North America’s front door, fueling intense …

Ecology of Hantaviruses in Rodent Reservoirs and Their Early Innate Immune Responses in Human Model Systems
… hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). These viruses are distributed across the globe and are responsible for a large number of human disease cases with potentially high mortality rates each year. Unfortunately, there is a lack of surveillance efforts …

Impacts of Habitat, Resource Addition, and Predator Exclusion on Rodent Community Structure and Hantaviruses in the Neotropics
… on the rodent community and the prevalence of hantaviruses within two reservoir hosts: Akodon montensis and Oligoryzomys nigripes. These species harbor Jabora hantavirus (JABV) and Juquitiba hantavirus (JUQV) respectively. Secondly, I developed an amplicon-based, next generation sequencing …

Seasonal dispersal tendencies of sylvan deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) with montana rangelands
… are where most reported human cases of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) originate. During the study, we trapped each site twice a month in two week intervals through all weather conditions and a temperature range from -36.7 to + 40.0 °C. We accumulated 85,200 trap nights of effort and …

Molecular characterization of rodent- and-shrew-borne viruses and the prevalence and intensity of infestation of small mammal fleas, in Namibia
… to discover and molecularly characterize novel Hantaviruses and Arenaviruses and to determine the prevalence and intensity of fleas on small mammals in selected areas of Namibia. Small mammals were trapped from six different regions and screened for both Hantavirus and Arenavirus. The regions …

Characterization of Novel Hantaviruses in Paraguay
<p>The genus Orthohantavirus, is a group of tripartite, negative-sense RNA viruses of which some members are the etiologic agents for hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) or orthohantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) in the Old and New Worlds, respectively. Sampling of wild rodents for …
