Abstract

Hantavirus infections among human populations are linked to the geographic distribution of the host rodents that carry the viruses. To determine the presence and distribution of hantaviruses in the northern region of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR), northwestern China, 844 rodents were captured from five locations in four dissimilar habitats during 2010-14 and examined for Hantavirus infection. Hantavirus nucleic acids were firstly detected in the brown rat ( Rattus norvegicus ) from Ürümqi, China, indicating that the Hantavirus was transmitted into Ürümqi in XUAR and circulated by the brown rat. Our results suggest that the brown rat may act as a natural reservoir for the virus in XUAR.

摘要

人群中的汉坦病毒感染与携带该病毒的宿主啮齿动物的地理分布有关。为了确定中国西北部新疆维吾尔自治区（简称新疆）北部地区汉坦病毒的存在和分布情况，2010年至2014年期间，从四个不同栖息地的五个地点捕获了844只啮齿动物，并对其进行汉坦病毒感染检测。首次在中国乌鲁木齐的褐家鼠（Rattus norvegicus）中检测到汉坦病毒核酸，这表明汉坦病毒已传入新疆乌鲁木齐并通过褐家鼠传播。我们的结果表明，褐家鼠可能是新疆该病毒的天然宿主。
