It focuses on the work done primarily at the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases during the decade of the 1980s under the leadership of Joel Dalrymple, who worked in close partnership with Ho Wang Lee. These early studies helped define the global distribution of Seoul virus and provided seminal information on its maintenance and transmission among urban rats. Other collaborations involved partners in Europe, Asia, and Latin America and resulted in the isolation of novel hantaviruses, a better understanding of their global distribution, and validation of diagnostics and therapeutic interventions for treatment of human diseases. By working in partnership, scientists from around the world made critical discoveries that led to a better understanding of the hantaviruses. \u201cThe Power of We\u201d demonstrates that we all benefit when we work together with a shared vision, a common commitment to excellence, and mutual respect.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v15040921","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,5]],"date-time":"2023-04-05T06:08:00Z","timestamp":1680674880000},"page":"921","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The Power of We"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"James W.","family":"Le Duc","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Galveston National Laboratory, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, TX 77555, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"298","DOI":"10.1093\/infdis\/137.3.298","article-title":"Isolation of the etiologic agent of Korean hemorrhagic fever","volume":"137","author":"Lee","year":"1978","journal-title":"J.
