Springer Hantaviruses: 256 - Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology

Hantaviruses: 256 is a comprehensive academic volume from Springer that examines rodent-borne RNA viruses within the Bunyaviridae family and their global health significance. This scholarly resource explores the two severe disease syndromes associated with hantaviruses: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Asia and Europe, and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in the Americas. The book provides in-depth analysis of recent research findings that illuminate the mechanisms behind the high human pathogenicity of these viruses and their epidemiological patterns. Readers will gain insight into how hantaviruses are maintained and transmitted within rodent populations worldwide, essential knowledge for understanding disease prevention and control strategies. This volume is designed for microbiologists, immunologists, infectious disease specialists, and healthcare professionals seeking authoritative information on hantavirus biology, pathogenesis, and public health implications.
