Book Description
World-wide, about 200,000 people are hospitalized with Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) (3-10% fatality) each year. The etiologic agents of HFRS are Hantaan, Seoul and Puumala viruses of the genus Hantavirus, family Bunyaviridae. A severe form of HFRS, caused by Hantaan virus, occurs in Asia and eastern parts of Europe, a moderate form, caused by Seoul and Seoul- like virus, occurs in Asia, and a mild form, caused by Puumala virus, occurs in Europe. The reservoirs of hantaviruses are rodents and small mammals. Geographical distribution of hantaviruses and-surveillance of HFRS are important for prevention of this highly fatal disease. Little is known about the pathogenesis of HFRS. It is also important to investigate antigenic differences of hantaviruses isolated from non-endemic areas of the world because HFRS patients have never been documented in many areas despite the finding of positive man and rodents there.

Book Description
In this comprehensive reference, leading researchers examine the biology, molecular biology, and diseases of the Bunyaviridae, and provide up-to-date information on the genetic characterization and variations of this virus group. Chapters deal with the molecular biology of five genera: Bunyavirus, Hantavirus, Nairovirus, Phlebovirus, and Tospovirus. Chapters examine Bunyaviridae assembly and intracelluar protein transport as well as Bunyaviridae genetics. Contributors discuss the Bunyaviridae diseases, including the hantavirus pulmonary syndrome.

Book Description
This book contains papers presented at a conference which describe studies of a World War II hepatitis epidemic, a genetic analysis of substance use in veteran twins, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, the psychological effects of military captivity, and dioxin in adipose tissue. Other papers discuss radiation risk studies in military populations and resources for epidemiologic research in Vietnam-era veterans. This volume should be of interest to epidemiologists, medical researchers, and others interested in public health.

Book Description
The last 20 years has seen a rapid increase in infectious diseases, particularly those that are termed "emerging diseases" such as SARS, "neglected diseases" such as malaria and those that are deemed biothreats such as anthrax. It is well-recognized that the most effective modality for preventing infectious diseases is vaccination. This book provides researchers with a better understanding of what is currently known about these diseases, including whether there is a vaccine available or under development. It also informs readers of the key issues in development of a vaccine for each disease. Provides a comprehensive treatise of the agents that are responsible for emerging and neglected diseases and those that can be used as biothreats Includes the processes such as the vaccine development pathway, vaccine manufacturing and regulatory issues that are critical to the generation of these vaccines to the marketplace Each chapter will include a map of the world showing where that particular disease is naturally found

Book Description
Hantaviruses are found world-wide and are associated with two severe disease syndromes, hemorrhagic fever and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. The recent studies in this volume provide a basis for understanding the high human pathogenicity of theses viruses and their continued maintenance and transmission within rodent populations.

Book Description
Five hundred and forty four rodents and small mammals were trapped in various regions of Yugoslavia and examined. Antihantaviruses, immunofluorescent (IF) antibodies were detected in the blood samples of 129 animals. Antigens were detected in the lung samples of 139 animals. Sixty-seven animals tested positive for both the presence of antibodies in the sera and antigens in the lungs. Studies on the immune status of healthy people in various HFRS endemic areas were conducted. Blood samples from over 700 forest workers, farmers, and other individuals with considerable outdoor exposure were collected and tested serologically for antibodies to hantaviruses. Approximately 336 individuals possessed hantaviral antibodies. In 1989, an HFRS epidemic occurred throughout Yugoslavia, over 600 individuals were hospitalized and 15 deaths occurred. The epidemic occurred in all six republics and two provinces of Yugoslavia, in both previously recognized and newly recognized foci areas.
