The H antaviridae constitute a family of viruses harbored by mice, rats, shrews, voles, moles
and bats. Intriguingly, only viruses harbored by mice and rats may cause disease in humans …

Analysis of the phylogenetic relationships among hantaviruses suggests that hantaviruses
have had a longstanding co-evolutionary history with their predominant rodent carriers …

The time scales of pathogen evolution are of major concern in the context of public and
veterinary health, epidemiology and evolutionary biology. Dating the emergence of a …

Hantavirus, a zoonotic disease carried by wild rodents, is spread among rodents via direct
contact and indirectly via infected rodent excreta in the soil. Spillover to humans is primarily …

An SI epidemic model for a host with two viral infections circulating within the population is
developed, analyzed, and numerically simulated. The model is a system of four differential …

This paper explores a number of questions regarding optimal strategies evolved by viruses
upon entry into a vertebrate host. The infected cell life cycle consists of a non-productively …

New habitat-based models for spread of hantavirus are developed which account for
interspecies interaction. Existing habitat-based models do not consider interspecies …

Viral infections are one of the leading source of mortality worldwide. The great majority of
them circulate and persist in wild reservoirs and periodically spill over into humans or …

Viral zoonotic infections such as those caused by rabies virus, West Nile virus, and
hantavirus are of serious public health concern, with each virus replicated within specific …

Hantavirus is a viral zoonotic disease carried by wild rodents (rats and mice) and spread to
human via viral contaminated soil. Three distinct hantavirus epidemic modeling projects are …
