ABSTRACT
In the last years, more than 30 agents that cause infectious diseases have
been identified. Some of them are responsible for emerging diseases,
potentially deadly to humans, such as the human immunodeficiency
Virus (HIV), Ebola, Marburg, and hantavirus. Some of these viruses
are associated with rodents, which act as reservoirs, particularly for
the members of two negative-sense RNA viruses: arenaviruses and
hantaviruses, both with a worldwide distribution. Hantaviruses are the
causal agent for the Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS), which is
characterized by cough, cardiorespiratory damage, fever, chills, nasal
discharge, muscle pain, headache, respiratory distress, and thrombocytopenia.
Rodents from the Sigmodontinae y Neotominae families
are the main reservoirs and can transmit the infection by contact with infected tissues, urine, feces, and/or saliva. In México, there are reports
about rodents seropositive to hantavirus in lands of Colima (ORO virus),
Morelos, and Guerrero (Montano, Carrizal and Huitzilac viruses). In
the USA, hantavirus infections in humans have been reported (“Without
name” variant). In Mexico there is serological evidence of the infection in
patients from Yucatan; however, the diagnosis using molecular detection
techniques has not been performed, making it possible that the HPS is
being mistaken with other diagnosis, such as influenza.
