| genetic characterization of a juquitiba-like viral lineage in oligoryzomys nigripes in rio de janeiro, brazil. | hantaviruses, family bunyaviridae, are rodent-borne rna viruses that have caused cases of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (hcps) in various regions of the americas. there are five hantaviral lineages associated with hcps in brazil: juquitiba virus (juqv), araraquara virus (arav), laguna negra-like virus (lnv), castelo dos sonhos virus (casv), and anajatuba virus (anajv). three additional hantaviruses have been described in rodents alone: rio mearim virus, jaborá virus, and a hantavirus linea ... | 2009 | 19660427 |
| hantaviruses and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, maranhao, brazil. | to confirm circulation of anajatuba virus in maranhao, brazil, we conducted a serologic survey (immunoglobulin g elisa) and phylogenetic studies (nucleocapsid gene sequences) of hantaviruses from wild rodents and persons with hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. this virus is transmitted by oligoryzomys fornesi rodents and is responsible for hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in this region. | 2010 | 21122229 |
| characterization of juquitiba virus in oligoryzomys fornesi from brazilian cerrado. | the juquitiba virus, an agent of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome, is one of the most widely distributed hantavirus found in south america. it has been detected in oligoryzomys nigripes, akodon montensis, oxymycterus judex, akodon paranaensis in brazil and in o. nigripes, oryzomys sp. and oligoryzomys fornesi rodents in argentine, paraguay and uruguay. here, we report the genomic characterization of the complete s segment from the juquitiba strain, isolated from the lung tissues of o. fornesi ... | 2014 | 24674957 |
