Abstract

Four US soldiers acquired hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome while training near the Demilitarized Zone, South Korea, in 2005. Hantaan virus sequences were amplified by reverse transcription–PCR from patient serum samples and from lung tissues of striped field mice (Apodemus agrarius) captured at training sites. Epidemiologic investigations specified the ecology of possible sites of patient infection.

Abstract

Four US soldiers admitted to the Brian Allgood Army Community Hospital, Seoul, Korea, were diagnosed with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, an acute febrile disease, from 27 October to 13 November 2005. Epidemiological investigations were conducted and rodents live trapped at military training sites where the soldiers had recently trained. Total RNA was extracted from patient sera and lung tissues of Apodemus agrarius, the primary reservoir of Hantaan virus (HTNV), amplified by RT-PCR, sequenced, and identified as HTNV. Phylogenetic relationships based on comparison of the 281-nt region of the G2 glycoprotein-encoding M segment of the patients and Murinae rodent-borne hantaviruses were conducted. HTNV amplified from A. agrarius captured at Firing Point 60 corresponded to patient 1, while HTNV amplified from A. agrarius captured at Twin Bridges Training Area corresponded to patients 2-4. These results strongly support that transmission sites were linked with patient and reservoir host HTNV strains.

Abstract

Since Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) was isolated in Peru in 1942, >70 isolates have been obtained from mosquitoes, humans, and sylvatic mammals primarily in the Amazon region. To investigate genetic relationships among the Peru VEEV isolates and between the Peru isolates and other VEEV strains, a fragment of the PE2 gene was amplified and analyzed by single-stranded conformation polymorphism. Representatives of seven genotypes underwent sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. The results identified four VEE complex lineages that cocirculate in the Amazon region: subtypes ID (Panama and Colombia/Venezuela genotypes), IIIC, and a new, proposed subtype IIID, which was isolated from a febrile human, mosquitoes, and spiny rats. Both ID lineages and the IIID subtype are associated with febrile human illness. Most of the subtype ID isolates belonged to the Panama genotype, but the Colombia/Venezuela genotype, which is phylogenetically related to epizootic strains, also continues to circulate in the Amazon basin.
