| rodent-borne orthohantaviruses in vietnam, madagascar and japan. | hantaviruses are harbored by multiple small mammal species in asia, europe, africa, and the americas. to ascertain the geographic distribution and virus-host relationships of rodent-borne hantaviruses in japan, vietnam, myanmar, and madagascar, rnalater™-preserved lung tissues of 981 rodents representing 40 species, collected in 2011-2017, were analyzed for hantavirus rna by rt-pcr. our data showed hantaan orthohantavirus da bie shan strain in the chinese white-bellied rat (niviventer confucianu ... | 2021 | 34372549 |
| serological evidence of thailand orthohantavirus or antigenically related virus infection among rodents in a chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology endemic area, girandurukotte, sri lanka. | we have reported high seroprevalence to thailand orthohantavirus (thaiv) or thaiv-related orthohantavirus (trhv) among patients with chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology in girandurukotte, sri lanka. thaiv or trhv infection is considered to be transmitted by rodent hosts in this area, but its reservoir rodents have not yet been identified. hence, 116 rodents were captured, and seroprevalences were examined by indirect immunofluorescent antibody assay (immunofluorescence assay [ifa]) using ... | 2019 | 31339833 |
| geographical distribution and relative risk of anjozorobe virus (thailand orthohantavirus) infection in black rats (rattus rattus) in madagascar. | hantavirus infection is a zoonotic disease that is associated with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome and cardiopulmonary syndrome in human. anjozorobe virus, a representative virus of thailand orthohantavirus (thaiv), was recently discovered from rodents in anjozorobe-angavo forest in madagascar. to assess the circulation of hantavirus at the national level, we carried out a survey of small terrestrial mammals from representative regions of the island and identified environmental factors ass ... | 2018 | 29743115 |
