Hantaviruses cause hemorrhagic fever in humans worldwide. However, few hantavirus surveillance campaigns occur in Africa. We detected Seoul orthohantavirus in black rats in Senegal, although we did not find serologic evidence of this disease in humans. These findings highlight the need for increased surveillance of hantaviruses in this region.
汉坦病毒可引起全球人类出血热。然而，非洲很少开展汉坦病毒监测活动。我们在塞内加尔的黑鼠中检测到了汉城型汉坦病毒，但未在人类中发现该疾病的血清学证据。这些发现强调了需要加强该地区汉坦病毒的监测。
