association of intraspecific wounding with hantaviral infection in wild rats (rattus norvegicus).the potential for hantaviral transmission among wild norway rats by wounding associated with aggressive interactions was evaluated using a prospective sero-epidemiological study coupled with a mark-release-recapture survey. there was a significant association between an animal's serological status and the presence of wounds. longitudinal studies of marked and released animals showed seroconversion between captures was associated with wounding between captures more often (33%) than expected by ch ...19883141203
leakey virus: a new hantavirus isolated from mus musculus in the united states.a hantavirus, designated leakey virus, was isolated from a mus musculus captured in real county, texas, u.s.a. in august 1986. virus-specific fluorescence was first detected 13 days after inoculation of vero-e6 cells with spleen tissue from the seropositive m. musculus. ultrastructurally, the new isolate resembled other hantaviruses. leakey virus induced a fatal meningoencephalitis in infant fischer rats, with viral antigen detectable in brain, lung, liver, kidney and spleen. serum dilution, pla ...19883143810
