Richardson Launches LambdaRail in New Mexico Saying that “information is power and access to information is also power,” Governor Bill Richardson today launched LambdaRail in New Mexico. National LambdaRail (NLR) is a nationwide networking infrastructure – a very, very high speed next generation of Internet access – that includes leading U.S. research universities and emerging private sector technology companies. Gov. Richardson’s launch of New Mexico’s leg of LambdaRail took place at the University of New Mexico, one of the research university partners in National LambdaRail, along with New Mexico State University and New Mexico Tech. "As a former Secretary of Energy, I understand how important it is for New Mexico to have high-speed access to the world,” said Governor Richardson. “ It makes us next-door partners with institutions not only in Colorado, Arizona, and Texas, but also with researchers throughout North America, the Far East, and Europe.” New Mexico’s membership in National LambdaRail ensures that the network will traverse the state, from El Paso through Albuquerque to Denver, with a major point of presence (POP) located in downtown Albuquerque. “Thanks to the support from Governor Richardson and state lawmakers, New Mexico is now a player in a new global high speed network,” said Terry Yates, UNM Vice President for Research and Economic Development.

Hantavirus- infected rodents were identified in various regions of North America.

Classic SNV is the major cause of HPS in North America, but other Peromyscine-borne hantaviruses, e.g., New York and Monongahela viruses, are also associated with HPS cases. Although genetically diverse, SNV-like viruses have slowly coevolved with their rodent hosts.

  • Week of October 5, 2015 – Hantavirus
    Week of October 5, 2015 – Hantavirus Anyone who has ever attended an OSHA HAZWOPER course; either the initial 40-hour or 24-hour course, the 8-hour supervisor course, or merely the 8-hour refresher, has been introduced to the disease known as Hantavirus. Hantaviruses are a relatively newly discovered genus of viruses, which, caused an outbreak of what was then known as Korean hemorrhagic fever, affecting American and Korean soldiers during the Korean War (1950–1953). More than 3000 troops became ill with symptoms that included renal failure, internal hemorrhage, and shock. It had a 10 percent mortality rate. This outbreak sparked a 25-year search for the etiologic agent. Finally, in 1976, scientists isolated the Hantaan virus from the lungs of striped field mice. The name, Hantavirus comes from the location where this disease was first observed; that is, the Hantaan River. In 1993, an outbreak of Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome occurred in the Four Corners region in the southwestern United States. The viral cause of the disease was found only weeks later and was called the Sin Nombre virus or SNV (Spanish, "virus sin nombre", meaning "nameless virus"). The host was first identified as the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) by Terry Yates, a professor at the University of New Mexico. As it turns out, hanatavirus has been around a lot longer than the Korean War. Historians and scientists have theorized that Hantavirus caused the epidemic illness in 15th century England, where records indicate a mysterious sweating sickness just before the Battle of Bosworth Field (1485, considered to be the decisive battle of England’s Wars of the Roses, where Richard III lost and was immortalized in William Shakespeare’s Play Richard III – “A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse!”).

Museum of Southwestern Biology Annual Report for 2007 MSB Director’s Summary Highlights As of December 31st 2007, I completed five months of a two-year term as Director of the Museum of Southwestern Biology beginning in August 2007. Former MSB Director, Don Duszynski, left to take a position as special advisor to UNM President Schmidly at the end of July 2007. The final phases of construction of the CERIA building were completed under Don’s directorship, as was finalization of an MOU with the US Geological Survey (USGS) to integrate their collections into the MSB, which is now nearly complete. Don made enormous contributions to the MSB and his efforts moved the MSB immeasurably forward in many ways. He oversaw the hiring of two new curators who began their positions in 2007. For the first time in its history, the MSB is fully staffed with curators and collection managers who are all supported from state-funded lines, excepting the newly established Division of Parasitology.
