| ecology of hantaviruses in mexico: genetic identification of rodent host species and spillover infection. | in our recent epidemiological survey conducted in mexico for hantavirus infection, we identified three distinct viruses circulating in mexican wild rodents, namely montano virus (mtnv), huitzilac virus (huiv), and carrizal virus (carv). to gain a detailed understanding of hantavirus epidemiology and its associated hosts, 410 rodents were captured at eight collecting points in morelos and guerrero, mexico, and examined for hantavirus seroprevalence, the presence of viral rna, and rodent host spec ... | 2012 | 22750131 |
| development of a serotyping enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay system based on recombinant truncated hantavirus nucleocapsid proteins for new world hantavirus infection. | new world hantaviruses were divided into five groups based on the amino acid sequence variability of the internal variable region (around 230-302 amino acids) of hantavirus nucleocapsid protein (np). sin nombre virus (snv), andes virus, black creek canal virus (bccv), carrizal virus (carv) and cano delgadito virus belong to groups 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively. patient and rodent sera were serotyped successfully by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) with recombinant truncated np lacki ... | 2012 | 22722226 |
