Species of virus
Cano Delgadito orthohantavirus
(
CADV
) is a
hantavirus
present in
Venezuela
. Its
natural reservoir
is
Alston's cotton rat
. Transmission among cotton rats appears to be
horizontal
. While human disease caused by CADV has not yet been identified, it has been isolated from oropharyngeal swabs and urine of infected cotton rats, indicating that it may be infectious to humans in the same manner as other hantaviruses, via inhalation of aerosolized droplets of saliva, respiratory secretions, or urine.
[1]
CADV was discovered in the 1990s from rodent species in the
Llanos
in Venezuela.
