Bunyaviridae Bunyaviridae A family of viruses, mainly arboviruses, consisting of a single strand of RNA. Virions are enveloped particles 90-120 nm diameter. The complete family contains over 300 members arranged in five genera: orthobunyavirus; hantavirus; nairovirus; phlebovirus; and tospovirus. Bunyavirales es una familia de virus Virus Viruses are infectious, obligate intracellular parasites composed of a nucleic acid core surrounded by a protein capsid. Viruses can be either naked (non-enveloped) or enveloped. The classification of viruses is complex and based on many factors, including type and structure of the nucleoid and capsid, the presence of an envelope, the replication cycle, and the host range.

Identificación de los virus ARN:
Los virus pueden clasificarse de muchas maneras. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los virus tienen un genoma formado por ADN o ARN. Los virus del genoma de ARN se pueden caracterizar adicionalmente basándose en la presencia de ARN monocatenario o bicatenario. Los virus “envueltos” están cubiertos por una fina capa de membrana celular (normalmente tomada de la célula huésped). Si no poseen envoltura, los virus se denominan “desnudos”. Los virus con genomas monocatenarios se denominan virus de “sentido positivo” si el genoma se utiliza directamente como ARN mensajero (ARNm), el cual se traduce en proteínas. Los virus monocatenarios de “sentido negativo” emplean la ARN polimerasa dependiente de ARN, una enzima viral, para transcribir su genoma en ARN mensajero.

Transmisión de hantavirus:
Los investigadores encontraron que el contacto con roedores y sus desechos pone a los humanos en riesgo de exposición al hantavirus. Las lluvias masivas asociadas con fenomeno del Niño de 1991-1992 impulsaron la productividad de las plantas.
La población de roedores creció al alimentarse con la materia vegetal más abundante. El mayor contacto con roedores y sus desechos pone a más humanos en riesgo de exposición al hantavirus.

Edema is a symptom observed in several medical conditions. It can be categorized into 2 types, namely, peripheral (in the extremities) and internal (in an organ or body cavity). Edema pulmonar de rápida evolución | Fiebre, presión arterial baja/ shock Shock Shock is a life-threatening condition associated with impaired circulation that results in tissue hypoxia. The different types of shock are based on the underlying cause: distributive (↑ cardiac output (CO), ↓ systemic vascular resistance (SVR)), cardiogenic (↓ CO, ↑ SVR), hypovolemic (↓ CO, ↑ SVR), obstructive (↓ CO), and mixed.

La evolución radiológica del síndrome pulmonar por hantavirus comienza con cambios mínimos por edema pulmonar intersticial que progresa a edema alveolar con afectación bilateral severa. Los derrames pleurales son frecuentes y, a menudo, lo suficientemente grandes como para ser evidentes radiográficamente.
