| a preliminary study of the patterns of sin nombre viral infection and shedding in naturally infected deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus). | deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) were trapped in southern manitoba, canada and tested for evidence of sin nombre virus infection. viral genome was amplified from tissues as well as saliva/oropharyngeal fluid, and urine samples were collected from seropositive animals. detection of viral rna in tissue samples and excreta/secreta from mice suggest that differences may exist between naturally infected rodents with respect to viral shedding. | 2005 | 16011428 |
| sin nombre virus shedding patterns in naturally infected deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) in relation to duration of infection. | a 2-year capture-mark-recapture study was conducted in southern manitoba, canada, to test for an association between the duration of sin nombre virus (snv) infection in deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) and virus shedding. hantavirus-specific igg antibodies were detected in 22.2% of captured deer mice, and recently infected deer mice were identified based on the detection of low-avidity igg antibodies. snv rna was detected in blood samples from the majority of seropositive deer mice with no sig ... | 2008 | 18266564 |
