Abstract
Highlights: [•] Antibody reactivity to hantavirus was detected in five sigmodontine species. [•] Hantavirus prevalence dynamics showed a seasonal pattern with higher prevalence in spring/summer. [•] Rodent species presented different descriptive models of hantavirus infection. [•] Spillover infections on secondary hosts were observed for Juquitiba and Jabora viruses. [•] Bamboo blooming during the studied period may have favored the increases in population sizes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
