Hantaviruses are enzootic viruses that maintain persistent infections in their rodent hosts
without apparent disease symptoms. The spillover of these viruses to humans can lead to …

Rodents represent 42% of the world's mammalian biodiversity encompassing 2,277 species
populating every continent (except Antarctica) and are reservoir hosts for a wide diversity of …

One hundred DNA sequences from the mitochondrial cytochrome-b gene of 44 species of
deer mice (Peromyscus (sensu stricto), 1 of Habromys, 1 of Isthmomys, 2 of Megadontomys …

Twenty years have passed since the emergence of hantavirus zoonosis in Panama at the
beginning of this millennium. We provide an overview of epidemiological surveillance of …

Orthohantaviruses give rise to the emerging infections such as of hemorrhagic fever with
renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in Eurasia and the …

The Costa Rican pygmy rice rat (Oligoryzomys costaricensis) is the primary reservoir of
Choclo orthohantavirus (CHOV), the causal agent of hantavirus disease, pulmonary …

Habitat fragmentation and diversity loss due to increased conversion of natural habitats to
agricultural uses influence the distribution and abundance of wildlife species and thus may …

Traditionally, most studies have described the organization of host–parasite interaction
networks by considering only few host groups at limited geographical extents. However, host …

We predicted that more-fragmented habitats are associated with lower diversity of small
mammals and higher densities of populations of rodents that are hosts of hantaviruses. We …

The number of documented American orthohantaviruses has increased significantly over
recent decades, but most fundamental research has remained focused on just two of them …
