Burning down the mouse: Effects of wildfire and post-fire reseeding on Sin Nombre virus prevalence in its reservoir host

Carleen N. Silva, Frances M. Twohig, Matthew E. Gompper, Robert A. Nofchissey, Aaron C. Young, Steven B. Bradfute, Kathryn A. Hanley

This study examines how wildfire and post-fire reseeding affect Sin Nombre virus prevalence in western deer mice, finding higher prevalence in reseeded sites and increased transmission linked to resource pulses from reseeding and ENSO cycles.
