| update: hantavirus disease--southwestern united states, 1993. | since may 1993, the state health departments in arizona, colorado, new mexico, and utah; the indian health service; and cdc, with the assistance of the navajo nation division of health, have been investigating an outbreak of acute respiratory illness related to a newly recognized hantavirus (1-5). this report updates the investigation and presents information on a recent case of hantavirus-associated respiratory disease in a resident of nevada. | 1993 | 8332114 |
| update: hantavirus disease--united states, 1993. | since the recognition of acute hantavirus-associated respiratory disease in the united states in may 1993, laboratory evidence of acute hantavirus infection has been confirmed in 30 persons in the southwestern united states; 20 (67%) of these persons have died. of those 30 persons, 23 resided in the four-corners region (14 in new mexico, six in arizona, and three in colorado). previously reported cases outside the four-corners states occurred in a nevada resident and a texas resident, neither of ... | 1993 | 8336693 |

| occurrence of hantavirus within the rodent population of northeastern california and nevada. | these studies were initiated to determine the prevalence and hosts of hantaviruses within the rodent population of nevada and northeastern california. a total of 1,867 rodents were collected, sexed, weighed, identified, and tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the presence of antibody against hantavirus nucleocapsid. the primary hosts for hantaviruses in this region were found within the family muridae (peromyscus maniculatus. reithrodontomys megalotis. and microtus montanus). studies ... | 1996 | 8619434 |
| seroepidemiologic studies of hantavirus infection among wild rodents in california. | a total of 4,626 mammals were serologically tested for antibodies to sin nombre virus. all nonrodent species were antibody negative. among wild rodents, antibody prevalence was 8.5% in murids, 1.4% in heteromyids, and < 0.1% in sciurids. of 1,921 peromyscus maniculatus (deer mice), 226 (11.8%) were antibody positive, including one collected in 1975. the highest antibody prevalence (71.4% of 35) was found among p. maniculatus on santa cruz island, off the southern california coast. prevalence of ... | 1997 | 9204301 |
| ecology and demographics of hantavirus infections in rodent populations in the walker river basin of nevada and california. | to study the ecologic correlates of hantavirus in deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus), we sampled 114 sites in the walker river basin of nevada and california in 1995-1996. blood samples were tested for antibody to hantavirus, and a subset of samples was also tested for virus rna by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. average prevalence of antibody-positive mice was 17%, with heavier males the most likely to be infected. antibody prevalence varied within repeatedly sampled sites from ... | 1998 | 9749642 |
| role of maternal antibody in natural infection of peromyscus maniculatus with sin nombre virus. | data from naturally infected deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) were used to investigate vertical transmission of sin nombre virus (snv) and snv-specific antibody. the antibody prevalence in juvenile mice (14 g or less) was inversely proportional to the mass of the animal, with juvenile deer mice weighing less than 11 g most likely to be antibody positive (26.9%) and juvenile mice weighing between 13 and 14 g least likely to be antibody positive (12.9%). although a significant sex bias in seropo ... | 2000 | 10666274 |
| remote sensing and geographic information systems: charting sin nombre virus infections in deer mice. | we tested environmental data from remote sensing and geographic information system maps as indicators of sin nombre virus (snv) infections in deer mouse (peromyscus maniculatus) populations in the walker river basin, nevada and california. we determined by serologic testing the presence of snv infections in deer mice from 144 field sites. we used remote sensing and geographic information systems data to characterize the vegetation type and density, elevation, slope, and hydrologic features of ea ... | 2000 | 10827114 |
| state-by-state incidences of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in the united states, 1993-2004. | we investigated geographic disparity in numbers of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (hps) cases in the united states. the 12-year incidences of hps (cases/100,000 for total and rural residents) by state did not parallel the number of cases per state. the state with the greatest overall incidence was new mexico, with montana ranking second. when rural incidence based on rural human population sizes were compared, new mexico also had the highest incidence, but utah, nevada, montana, arizona, and colo ... | 2005 | 16011436 |
