A woman is suing a pet shop chain after her husband died of a hamster virus.
Nancy Magee, from the US, claims PetSmart Inc should have warned customers the rodents carry lymphocytic choriomeningitis, a viral infection of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
Two other people died of the virus in 2005 after receiving infected organs from the same woman as her husband, Thomas, 54.
