ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Determining Hantavirus infection prevalence in rodents in the C6rdoba department, Colombia. METHODS: Rodents were captured using Sherman live-capture traps (8 x 9 x 23 cm; Sherman Traps, Inc., Tallahassee, FL) in peridomestic areas of Córdoba. Hantavirus IgG antibodies were detected by ELISA using Sin Nombre virus (SNV) recombinant nucleocapsid antigen (CDC, Atlanta, Georgia, USA). RESULTS: 336 rodents were captured in 11 townships in the Córdoba department (Murinae: 249; Sigmodontinae: 68; Heteromyidae: 17; Echimyidae: 2; 8.5% overall trap success) during 79 nights of trapping between January 2003 and November 2004. Hantavirus antibody seroprevalence was 2.1% (7 out of 336 captures). Prevalence by genus varied between 5.9% (1 out of 17 Heteromys) to 50% (1 out of 2 Proechimys). CONCLUSIONS: SNV-reactive antibody prevalence in rodents in Córdoba, Colombia, indicated that at least one hantavirus is endemic in rodents in northern Colombia and is frequently transmitted to rural residents.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Determinar la prevalencia de infección por hantavirus en roedores del Departamento de Córdoba, Colombia. METODOLOGIA: Captura de roedores con trampas tipo Sherman live-capture traps (8x9x23 cm; Sherman Traps, Inc., Tallahassee, FL) en áreas domésticas y peridomésticas en el departamento de Córdoba. Analisis de anticuerpos IgG por ELISA, empleando como antígeno una proteína recombinante de la nucleocapside del Sin Nombre Virus (SNV) (CDC, Atlanta, Georgia, USA). RESULTADOS: Durante los meses de enero de 2003 a noviembre de 2004, en 79 noches de trampeo fueron capturados 336 roedores en once municipios del departamento de Córdoba (Murinae: 249; Sigmodontinae: 68; Heteromyidae: 17; Echimyidae: 2) (éxito de captura del 8,5 por ciento). La seroprevalencia de anticuerpos contra hantavirus fue del 2,1 por ciento (7 de 336 capturas). Los porcentajes de seropositividad específicos por género oscilaron entre 5,9 por ciento (1 de 17, Heteromys) a 50 por ciento (1 de 2, Proechimys). CONCLUSIONES: La prevalencia de anticuerpos contra el SNV en roedores de Córdoba, Colombia; indica que al menos un hantavirus es endémico en roedores del norte colombiano y esta frecuentemente trasmitido a residentes rurales.
