Hantaan virus infection in suckling mice: virologic and pathologic correlates. 1985

K T McKee, and G R Kim, and D E Green, and C J Peters

The Hantaan virus suckling mouse model was examined to delineate virologic and histopathologic characteristics of infection at the organ level. Viral antigen and infectious virus were detected in all organs examined, with highest titers achieved in brain, lung, and kidney. A constellation of histologic lesions was identified in brain (diffuse meningoencephalitis with bilaterally symmetrical thalamic necrosis), liver (pericholangiohepatitis), lung (pneumonitis), and spleen (lymphoid hyperplasia); this tetrad is apparently unique to this model system. The chronology of clinical, virologic, serologic, and pathologic findings in Hantaan-infected newborn mice suggests an immune-mediated mechanism in disease pathogenesis.

D006476 Orthohantavirus A genus of the family BUNYAVIRIDAE causing HANTAVIRUS INFECTIONS, first identified during the Korean war. Infection is found primarily in rodents and humans. Transmission does not appear to involve arthropods. HANTAAN VIRUS is the type species.

D006480 Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome An acute febrile disease occurring predominately in Asia. It is characterized by fever, prostration, vomiting, hemorrhagic phenonema, shock, and renal failure. It is caused by any one of several closely related species of the genus ORTHOHANTAVIRUS. The most severe form is caused by HANTAAN VIRUS whose natural host is the rodent Apodemus agrarius. Milder forms are caused by SEOUL VIRUS and transmitted by the rodents Rattus rattus and R. norvegicus, and the PUUMALA VIRUS with transmission by Clethrionomys galreolus.
