Bayou orthohantavirus explained

Bayou orthohantavirus (BAYV) is a species of Orthohantavirus first identified in 1993 in Louisiana.[1] and later confirmed by other investigators.[2] [3] In 1996, the marsh rice rat was identified as the natural reservoir of the virus,[4] indicating the virus to be widespread throughout the Southeastern United States.[5] BAYV infection causes hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) and represents the second most common hantavirus in the United States behind the Sin Nombre orthohantavirus.[6]
