Old World HVs may cause mild febrile illness (Puumala-like viruses), or moderate severe hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) (Seoul-like Hantaanand Dobrava-like viruses, respectively) [3]. New including Sin Nombre Andes viruses responsible for pulmonary (HPS) In Europe Asia related HFRS syndrome, whereas Americas majority belong HPS clinical symptoms leptospirosis dengue comparable signs HVs. Recently, presence among patients suspected Indonesia demonstrated [4]. this study, we provide first serological evidence rodents Barbados.
