Article Synopsis
- Andes virus is transmitted by the rodent Oligoryzomys longicaudatus, primarily in southern Argentina, causing hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS).
- The study conducted from November 2003 to July 2006 in Chubut Province found significant seasonal and habitat-based variations in the abundance of this rodent species.
- Antibody-positive rodents mostly belonged to O. longicaudatus, particularly larger male individuals, and their presence was higher in brush habitats, while areas affected by human activity showed lower rodent populations.
