Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hantaan virus (HTNV), hosted by Apodemus spp., is a well-recognized causative agent of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and poses a crucial global public health concern. Based on the current evidence, HTNV carried by A. chejuensis is proposed as the likely etiological agent of HFRS on Jeju Island, Republic of Korea (ROK). METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: In this study, 50 small mammals were...
