Overview
Australia is in the Oceania hantavirus context. There is no major endemic hantavirus strain in this curated dataset; the country may still record imported cases.
Seoul virus circulates globally in Norway-rat populations and is therefore plausibly present in Australian urban rats, but country-specific peer-reviewed surveillance for confirmed human Seoul-virus disease in Australia is limited. Listed here for regional completeness; flagged conservatively.
Reservoir species
- Rattus norvegicus
