Characterization of Novel Hantaviruses in Paraguay
… continues to lead to the discovery of new orthohantaviruses species and strains. HFRS and HPS have case fatality rates of up to 15% and 40%, respectively. And in some years, morbidity rates of up to 100,000 cases can be reached, globally. The epidemiological evidence of human-to-human …

Ecology of Hantaviruses in Rodent Reservoirs and Their Early Innate Immune Responses in Human Model Systems
… is a lack of surveillance efforts to identify hantaviruses in most countries making accurate diagnosis or recognition of hantavirus cases complicated. To address the potential public health impact of hantaviruses, we surveyed rodents in a rural region of Ukraine, and identified a high …

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 …

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 …

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 …
