Juquitiba-like Hantavirus from 2 Nonrelated Rodent Species, Uruguay
نویسندگان
چکیده
Serologic and genetic analyses indicate that a Juquitiba-like hantavirus circulates in Maldonado, Uruguay. This virus is carried by 2 rodent species, Oligoryzomys nigripes and Oxymycterus nasutus. The same hantavirus in 2 nonrelated species can be explained by a spillover infection or a host-switching event.

During 5,230 trapping nights, 672 small mammals were trapped in the areas where most hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) cases occur in Uruguay. Yellow pygmy rice rats (Oligoryzomys flavescens) were the only rodents that showed evidence of antibodies to hantavirus, with a seroprevalence of 2.6%. The rodents were trapped in all the explored environments, and most of the seropositive rodents were...
متن کاملHantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, Central Plateau, Southeastern, and Southern Brazil
Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is an increasing health problem in Brazil because of encroachment of sprawling urban, agricultural, and cattle-raising areas into habitats of subfamily Sigmodontinae rodents, which serve as hantavirus reservoirs. From 1993 through June 2007, a total of 884 cases of HPS were reported in Brazil (case-fatality rate 39%). To better understand this emerging diseas...

Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is caused by the emerging rodent-borne viruses of the genus Hantavirus (Nichol et al. 1993). Since 1993, over 1,400 cases have been identified in 14 states in Brazil. Santa Catarina (SC) (southern Brazil, 27o10’S 51o44’W) is the second most affected Brazilian state, with a large number of cases (n = 226) (Brazilian Health Ministry Report on Hantavirus cases 1...
