Three of the four HPS samples previously confirmed by the ALI in São Paulo tested positive by our ELISA. Of the remaining 12 suspected HPS cases assayed, three were positive. Two of these three were later confirmed as positive by the ALI (Luiza Teresinha Madia de Souza, ALI, pers. comm.) Thus, we report three previously unconfirmed HPS cases, one fatal, in the Ribeirão Preto area between May 1998 and August 1999. Since the rodent reservoir is not known and the virus has not been isolated, rodent capture is currently being conducted in areas where human infections have been found. In addition, positive cases are being retrospectively investigated.

- An updated estimation of the risk of transmission of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCov) (2020, neutral): “…to severe outbreaks clusters, such as those generated by the “ Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome ” (SARS) virus in 2003 in mainland China, and by the “ Middle East Respiratory Syndrome ” (MERS) virus in 2012 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and in 2015 in South Korea (Gralinski & Menachery, 2020).”
- To fear or not to fear? Applying the social amplification of risk framework on two environmental health risks in Singapore (2018, background): “That is, risk information that comes across as too ‘scary’ or ‘out of control’ may have led individuals to process information more heuristically, without spending enough time or cognitive effort in evaluating the risk itself (Jepson and Chaiken 1990).”
