Description
Yijia Wang leads a large team surveying in 2026 wild rodents in Liaoning Province, China, for two hantaviruses that cause a serious kidney fever in people. Forest and farmland in the province shelter many rodent species, keeping the viruses circulating.
Testing 403 rodents collected during 2022 and 2023 found nineteen carrying virus. Standard tests caught most positives, clustered around three cities. Deep sequencing, though, spotted virus in one district that standard tests missed, because the local strain had drifted where the test primers bind. The team designed new primers from the recovered sequences and confirmed four more cases. Local rodent strains closely matched those infecting people nearby, sharpening prevention targets.
