Rio Negro Virus Infection, Bolivia, 2021
Emerg Infect Dis. 2023 Aug;29(8):1705-1708. doi: 10.3201/eid2908.221885.ABSTRACTIn May 2021, an agricultural worker originally from Trementinal, Argentina, sought treatment for febrile illness in Tarija, Bolivia, where he resided at the time of illness onset. The patient tested negative for hantavirus RNA, but next-generation sequencing of a serum sample yielded a complete genome for Rio Negro virus.PMID:37486719 | DOI:10.3201/eid2908.221885 (Source: Emerging Infectious Diseases)

Detection of Hantavirus during the COVID-19 Pandemic, Arizona, USA, 2020
Emerg Infect Dis. 2023 Aug;29(8):1663-1667. doi: 10.3201/eid2908.221808.ABSTRACTWe identified 2 fatal cases of persons infected with hantavirus in Arizona, USA, 2020; 1 person was co-infected with SARS-CoV-2. Delayed identification of the cause of death led to a public health investigation that lasted ≈9 months after their deaths, which complicated the identification of a vector or exposure.PMID:37486231 | DOI:10.3201/eid2908.221808 (Source: Emerging Infectious Diseases)

Time series analyses based on the joint lagged effect analysis of pollution and meteorological factors of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome and the construction of prediction model
ConclusionsThe SARIMA model may help to enhance the forecast of monthly HFRS incidence based on a long-range dataset. Our study had shown that environmental factors such as humidity and SO2 have a delayed effect on the occurrence of HFRS and that the effect of humidity can be influenced by SO2 and wind speed. Public health professionals should take greater care in controlling HFRS in low humidity, low windy conditions and 2 –3 days after SO2 levels above 200 μg/m3.

Co-circulation and co-infection of hantaviruses and Wenzhou mammarenavirus in small mammals and humans in Jiangxi, China
Both Orthohantaviruses (HV) and Whenzhou Mammarenaviruses (WENV) are rodents borne viruses, allowing them to spread simultaneously in the same area and infect humans. To explore the potential threat of HV and WENV to public health safety, an environmental and laboratory investigation was conducted in 2020–2021, in Jiangxi province, China. A total of 461 small mammals of 7 species and paired sera from 43 suspected HFRS cases were collected from Jiangxi Province, China. Viral genomic RNA and specific antibodies against HV and WENV were detected to evaluate the epidemic situation of the two viruses. Hantaan virus (HTNV), se...

Logistic regression analysis of risk factors for hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome complicated with acute pancreatitis
CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that HFRS patients with a history of consuming alcohol, a high lym%, intense proteinuria, high levels of FDPs, and a low level of D-dimer might be more prone to the development of AP.KEY MESSAGESThis is the first report employing Logistic regression analysis methods for exploring the risk factors for HFRS complicated with AP in China.Many factors (most are laboratory parameters) were significantly associated with HFRS complicated with AP.We found that HFRS patients with a history of consuming alcohol, a high lym%, intense proteinuria, high levels of FDPs, and a low level of D-dimer might b...

Hantavirus Infections among Military Forces
CONCLUSIONS: Military maneuvers usually include soil removal, spreading, digging with accompanied dust, and living in field and other harsh conditions, which easily expose soldiers to rodents and their excreta. Therefore, the risks of hantavirus infections in military context are obvious. All military infections have been caused by hantaviruses leading to hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.PMID:37428512 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usad261 (Source: Military Medicine)
