“…The presence of viral antigen in the kidneys was most common in deer mice that did not have antibodies to Sin Nombre virus, suggesting that virus shedding is greatest in the early stages of infection 32 . Also analogous to findings with the Old World hantaviruses, a higher sero-prevalence rate for Sin Nombre virus was observed in old deer mice than in young deer mice, with males infected more often than females [33][34][35] . Although these data are consistent with horizontal transmission by aggressive interactions and biting, they could also reflect the larger home range of adult males compared with adult females and the resulting increased risk of aerosol exposure 33 .…”

Abstract. Most human cases of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome are acquired in the peridomestic environment, yet studies of the ecology and infection dynamics in the reservoir host, the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus), have focused on sylvan populations. We describe a 2.5-year study of hantavirus infection in rodents associated with peridomestic habitats in west central Montana. Antibodies reactive with Sin Nombre virus (SNV) were found in five species. Overall SNV antibody prevalence was highest among deer mice (25% of individuals tested). As has been demonstrated for sylvan populations, the antibody-positive component of the deer mouse population consisted of a higher proportion of adults and males. However, the prevalence of antibodies to SNV was higher in this study than has been reported in most sylvan studies. The average monthly proportion of deer mouse blood samples with antibodies to SNV ranged from approximately 20% to 25% and was highest in the late spring/early summer. The higher SNV antibody prevalence in peridomestic compared with sylvan settings may be related to behavioral differences and/or potentially longer survival of the virus deposited inside buildings. Peridomestic settings presented higher concentrations of virus and may present a higher risk of human infection than do sylvan settings.

“…For example, SEOV has been associated with Rattus rattus, R. norvegicus, Rattus losea and Rattus flavipectus (Lee & Johnson, 1982;Sun et al, 2005); Tula virus with Microtus arvalis and Microtus rossiaemeridionalis (Plyusnin et al, 1994); SNV with Peromyscus maniculatus, Peromyscus leucopus, Peromyscus boylii and Peromyscus truei (Childs et al, 1994;Mills et al, 1997;Monroe et al, 1999;Morzunov et al, 1998;Otteson et al, 1996); PUUV with Clethrionomys glareolus and Clethrionomys rufocanus (Brummer-Korvenkontio et al, 1982;Kariwa et al, 1999); and DOBV with Apodemus favicollis and A. agrarius Plyusnin et al, 1997). In the present study, sequence analysis of both the S and M segments (partial or complete) indicates that the viruses derived from A. peninsulae could be classified as a lineage with viruses previously isolated or detected from A. agrarius in China (Sun et al, 2001;Wang et al, 2000) and Russia [AA1028 (GenBank accession no.…”

To provide a better understanding of hantavirus epidemiology in China, Korean field mice (Apodemus peninsulae) and striped field mice (Apodemus agrarius) were captured in Jilin province, China, where haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is endemic. Hantavirus antigens were detected in eight of the 130 A. peninsulae individuals and in four of the 193 A. agrarius individuals by using an immunofluorescence assay. Partial S and M segments were amplified from all of the antigen-positive samples. Furthermore, two hantaviruses (CJAp89 and CJAp93) were isolated successfully in cell culture and the entire S and M segments were amplified from one of them (CJAp93). Phylogenetic analysis of these sequences (partial or complete) showed that hantaviruses carried by A. peninsulae and A. agrarius form two distinct lineages, although viruses carried by A. peninsulae are similar to those isolated previously from A. agrarius in China and from HFRS patients in Russia. However, the viruses detected in A. peninsulae in China are genetically different from those detected in A. peninsulae in other countries. These data suggest that A. peninsulae is also a natural host for HTNV in north-eastern China.Haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is an important human disease and 60 000-100 000 hospitalized patients are reported annually worldwide, with the bulk of these cases occurring in China (Johnson, 1999). During the past 10 years, 25 000-60 000 HFRS cases were reported in China annually (Zhang et al., 2004). HFRS is caused by hantavirus, a member of the genus Hantavirus in the family Bunyaviridae. Currently, at least 20 serotypes and genotypes [such as Hantaan virus (HTNV), Dobrava-Belgrade virus (DOBV), Seoul virus (SEOV), Puumala virus (PUUV), Sin Nombre virus (SNV), etc.] of hantavirus have been identified worldwide (Khaiboullina et al., 2005), and each serotype and/or genotype of hantavirus appears to be associated primarily with one (or a few closely related) specific rodent host(s) (Plyusnin & Morzunov, 2001). Several rodent species, such as Apodemus agrarius and Rattus norvegicus, have been identified as hantavirus reservoirs in China (Chen et al., 1986(Chen et al., , 1999Song et al., 1983 Song et al., , 1984Wang et al., 2000).Apodemus peninsulae has been identified as a hantavirus reservoir, and the hantavirus carried by A. peninsulae has been associated with HFRS in the far-east region of Russia (Lokugamage et al., 2002;Yashina et al., 2000). Hantaviruses have also been isolated from A. peninsulae in South Korea (Baek et al., 2006). Characterization of these viruses indicated that hantaviruses carried by A. peninsulae in the far east of Russia and in South Korea are antigenically and genetically distinct from HTNV, which is usually carried by A. agrarius. This led to the suggestion that hantaviruses carried by A. peninsulae could be classified as a novel hantavirus serotype (Baek et al., 2006;Lokugamage et al., 2004). A. peninsulae is distributed widely in China, and is one of the predominant rodent species in f...
