Hantaviruses, similar to several emerging zoonotic viruses, persistently infect their natural
reservoir hosts, without causing overt signs of disease. Spillover to incidental human hosts …

Hantaviruses are predominantly rodent‐borne pathogens, although recently novel shrew‐
associated hantaviruses were found. Within natural reservoir hosts, hantairuses do not …

Hantaviruses are hosted by rodents, insectivores and bats. Several rodent-borne
hantaviruses cause two diseases that share many features in humans, hemorrhagic fever …

Human encroachment on wildlife habitats has contributed to the emergence of several
zoonoses. Pathogenic hantaviruses are hosted by rodents and cause severe diseases in the …

Zoonotic pathogens, including hantaviruses, are maintained in the environment by causing
persistent infection in the absence of disease in their reservoir hosts. Spillover of …

Between January 1995 and November 1997, longitudinal mark-recapture studies of rodent
hosts of hantaviruses in a disturbed microhabitat within a shortgrass prairie ecosystem in …
