| [hantavirus in human and rodent population in an endemic area for hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in argentina]. | this paper analyzed the prevalence and distribution of serological reactivity to hantavirus (antibody against andes virus) of human population exposed to hantavirus and rodents trapped in the studied area. this study was developed in salta (orán and san martín departments), area with the highest incidence for hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (hps) in argentina. in december 1997, 453 healthy people were studied by serology and 39 rodents by serology and pcr. the studied individuals were distributed ... | 2002 | 11965841 |
| andes virus associated with hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in northern argentina and determination of the precise site of infection. | hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (hps) has been documented in the salta and jujuy provinces of northern argentina since 1991 and 1997, respectively, accounting for almost 50% of the cases of hps reported in this country. andes (and) virus, specifically the and virus nort lineage, was previously associated with human disease in this region. genetic analysis of viral medium rna segments obtained from 18 hps cases showed the existence of three and virus nort sublineages co-circulating in these two pro ... | 2002 | 12224579 |
| genetic diversity and epidemiology of hantaviruses in argentina. | phylogenetic analysis of a 292-nucleotide (nt) fragment of the hantavirus m genome segment from 36 rodent and 13 human samples from three known foci of hantavirus infection in argentina was conducted. a 1654-nt fragment of the m genome segment was analyzed for 1 representative of 7 genetically distinct hantavirus lineages identified. additionally, the nt sequence of the complete m genome segments of lechiguanas, oran, and hu39694 hantavirus genotypes was determined. nt sequence comparisons revea ... | 1998 | 9498428 |
| hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in tucumán province associated to an unexpected viral genotype. | we describe the characterization of the viral genotype involved in the first case of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome reported in tucumán, a northwestern province of argentina. a 23-year-old woman, with no record of travel history and previously diagnosed with an antiphospholipid syndrome, died after 11 days of severe cardiopulmonary insufficiency. among the four endemic regions of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in argentina, the northwest region has the highest incidence, exceeding 50% of all repor ... | 2017 | 28463210 |
