| long-term hantavirus persistence in rodent populations in central arizona. | for 35 months, we monitored hantavirus activity in rodent populations in central arizona. the most frequently captured hantavirus antibody-positive rodents were peromyscus boylii and p. truei. antibody-positive p. boylii were more frequently male (84%), older, and heavier, and they survived longer on trapping web sites than antibody-negative mice. the number of antibody-positive p. boylii was greater during high population densities than during low densities, while antibody prevalence was greate ... | 1999 | 10081677 |
| brush mouse (peromyscus boylii) population dynamics and hantavirus infection during a warm, drought period in southern arizona. | we monitored limestone canyon hantavirus (lscv) antibody prevalence, host (brush mouse, peromyscus boylii) abundance, and environmental variables (temperature and rainfall) in brush mice captured on three trapping webs in southern arizona for 5 yr. although seasonal patterns were subtle, we observed large multiyear variation in population abundance and antibody prevalence. limestone canyon hantavirus infection in brush mouse populations varied over time with prevalence ranging from 0% to 33%. at ... | 2007 | 17984263 |
