1. Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in children: case report and case series from an endemic area of Brazil
ABSTRACT Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome (HCPS) is an important emergent zoonosis associated with wild rodents in Brazil, where this viral infection in children is generally rare. We present HCPS in a child from the Pantanal Biome and a review of all reported pediatric cases in Mato Grosso State, an endemic area for HCPS in Brazil. The investigation used

2. Clinical and anatomopathological aspects of patients with hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome in Uberaba, Minas Gerais, Brazil
ABSTRACT The hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome is considered an emerging disease in the Americas. Since 1993, thousands of cases have been reported from different countries, but mainly from Brazil. This study aims to describe some epidemiological, clinical and anatomopathological aspects of patients with hantavirus who presented poor outcome and were autop

3. First serologic evidence of human hantavirus infection in Alagoas State in Northeastern Brazil
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) is rare in Northeastern Brazil. METHODS: Prospective surveillance was conducted over a two-year period in Alagoas State, Northeastern Brazil. The prevalence of anti-hantavirus N-antigen IgM and IgG in human serum samples was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay testing. RESULTS

4. Seropositivity diagnosis for hantavirus in Jataí, Goiás State, Brazil
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Emerging diseases are of great interest, especially those associated with high mortality rates such as hantaviruses. We aimed to conduct a seroepidemiological survey to determine the levels of hantavirus infection. METHODS: In-house enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect specific antibodies. RESULTS: Of the

5. Serological evidence of hantavirus infection in an urban area in Mato Grosso State, Brazil
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: In Brazil, Mato Grosso (MT) has the highest number of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome cases. Our study aimed to identify anti-hantavirus antibodies in the sera of patients from Sinop, MT, presenting with acute febrile illness. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of data for 198 sera samples assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbe

6. Development of a novel plaque reduction neutralisation test for hantavirus infection
In the Americas, hantaviruses cause severe cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) with a high fatality rate. Hantavirus infection is commonly diagnosed using serologic techniques and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. This paper presents a novel plaque reduction neutralisation test (PRNT) for detecting antibodies to Brazilian hantavirus. Using PRNT, p

7. Risk factors associated with hantavirosis fatality: a regional analysis from a case-control study in Brazil
Introduction: In Brazil, hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) has a high lethality rate that varies by region. This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with fatal hantavirosis. Methods: This study was a case-control study that included all laboratory confirmed cases of hantavirosis. The cases were stratified by the different Brazilia

8. Serologic survey of hantavirus in a rural population from the northern State of Mato Grosso, Brazil
INTRODUCTION: Hantavirus is a genus of ribonucleic acid (RNA) viruses included in the family Bunyaviridae. Hantaviruses are rodent-borne zoonoses that, in the last 18 years, became an emergent public health problem in the Americas, causing a severe cardiopulmonary syndrome. This disease has no specific treatment and has a high case fatality. The transmission

9. Montagem de um pseudo-hantavírus quimera, contendo a nucleoproteína do vírus Araraquara e as glicoproteínas do vírus Andes, em sistema baculovírus / Assembly of a chimeric hantavirus-like particle, containing the Araraquara nucleoprotein and the Andes glycoproteins, expressed in baculovirus system
Hantaviruses, members of the Bunyaviridae family, are the infectious agents responsible for Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome and the Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome. The viral genome is composed by three segments of single-stranded negative-sense RNA, designated as S, M and L, which encode, respectively, the nucleoprotein, the G1 and G2 glycoprotein

10. Expression of a hantavirus N protein and its efficacy as antigen in immune assays
Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) has been recognized as an important public heath problem. Five hantaviruses associated with HCPS are currently known in Brazil: Juquitiba, Araraquara, Laguna Negra-like, Castelo dos Sonhos, and Anajatuba viruses. The laboratory diagnosis of HCPS is routinely carried out by the detection of anti-hantavirus IgM and/or

11. Hantaviruses as emergent zoonoses
Hantaviruses belong to the Bunyaviridae family, which consists of vector-borne viruses. These viruses can provoke two infection types: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) - which occurs in the Old World - and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) - an emergent zoonosis that can be found in many countries of the western hemisphere. Rodents are h

12. Estudo da Síndrome Cardiopulmonar por Hantavírus: epidemiologia e fatores prognósticos para óbito dos casos notificados no Brasil. / Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome study: epidemiology and prognostic factors confirmed for death in Brazil.
A Síndrome Cardiopulmonar por Hantavírus (SCPH) é uma doença zoonótica emergente cuja importância para a saúde pública está associada ao pouco conhecimento sobre a sua história natural e à alta taxa de letalidade. Objetivos: Descrever as características epidemiológicas, clínicas e identificar os fatores associados à ocorrência de óbitos por
