We captured 3 hantavirus rodent hosts in Otamendi Natural Reserve, Argentina, during 2007-2012. Hantavirus antibodies were found only in Akodon azarae grass mice, mainly in males and old animals. Higher abundance of this species was associated with warm and rainy weather and high water levels, which peaked after a strong El Niño event.
我们在 2007 年至 2012 年期间在阿根廷奥塔门迪自然保护区捕获了 3 种汉坦病毒啮齿动物宿主。汉坦病毒抗体仅在阿卡东草原田鼠中发现,主要存在于雄性和老年动物中。该物种数量较多与温暖多雨的天气和高水位有关,而高水位是在强烈的厄尔尼诺事件之后达到峰值的。
