The Ecology and Evolutionary History of an Emergent Disease: Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome

Evidence from two El Nino episodes in the American Southwest suggests that El Nino-driven precipitation, the initial catalyst of a trophic cascade that results in a delayed density-dependent rodent response, is sufficient to predict heightened risk for human contraction of hantavirus pulmonary syndr...
