APORTE AL ESTUDIO DE LAS INFECCIONES POR HANTAVIRUS EN LAS POBLACIONES DE ROEDORES DEL NORESTE DE LA PROVINCIA DE LA PAMPA.

Diseases caused by the Hantaan virus were known as Haemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome. In 1993 an outbreak caused by Hantavirus was diagnosed in the South West area of the EEUU, but with other characteristics, defining it as Pulmonar Syndrome for Hantavirus. This syndrome has been identified in differents areas of Argentine. One reservoir involved in the outbreak of the south of the country is in La Pampa. At this first phase, captures were made, rodents were sexed, weighed, identified, being found three individuals of sp Calomys laucha, which is supposed to be the reservoir of the outbreak in Paraguay. As well as this, samples were sent to ANLIS -- Malbran, being finally negative to hantavirus. During the year, captures will be continued. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
