Climate change does not just affect the climate in a direct sense; it transforms entire ecosystems, altering the habitats of disease vectors like rodents, changing patterns of disease transmission, and raising the risk of zoonotic infections like Hantavirus. Addressing climate change, deforestation, and unsustainable agricultural practices is ...
In rodents, hantavirus produces a chronic infection with no adverse sequelae. In humans, hantavirus produces two major clinical syndromes: hemorrhagic fever or pulmonary syndrome. European, Asian, and African rodent-borne hantaviruses cause hemorrhagic fever. The pulmonary syndrome is caused mainly by Sin Nombre virus and Andes virus in the ...
Orthohantavirus is a genus of viruses that includes all hantaviruses (family Hantaviridae) that cause disease in humans. Orthohantaviruses, hereafter referred to as hantaviruses, are naturally found primarily in rodents. In general, each hantavirus is carried by one rodent species and each rodent that carries a hantavirus carries one hantavirus ...
“Weather can influence hantavirus occurrence in complicated ways — for example, heavy spring rains might increase food resources for deer mice resulting in an increase in the rodent population ...
The 1993 Four Corners hantavirus outbreak was an outbreak of hantavirus disease that occurred in the Four Corners region of the US states in Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico. The outbreak marked the discovery of hantaviruses in the Western Hemisphere that could cause disease and revealed the existence of a novel type of disease caused by ...
Between 1975 and 2023, cases of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome peaked throughout New Mexico in April, May, June and July. ... Arizona was next with 85, followed by California with 78 and Washington ...
Hantaan virus (HTNV) is the main cause of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in East Asia. Hantaan virus is transmitted by the striped field mouse (Apodemus agrarius) In its natural reservoir, HTNV causes a persistent, asymptomatic infection and is spread through excretions, fighting, and grooming.
Joshua trees are already struggling to reproduce in a warming climate. Replacing those lost in the York fire may be all but impossible, experts fear. California's famed Joshua trees are burning up ...
