| evaluation of lipase levels in patients with nephropathia epidemica--no evidence for acute pancreatitis. | the most common causative agent for hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in germany is puumala virus (puuv) and a high percentage of patients with puuv infection have gastrointestinal (gi) symptoms. the aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of increased lipase levels and acute pancreatitis during nephropathia epidemica (ne) in 166 patients from germany. | 2015 | 26204892 |
| smoking is associated with aggravated kidney injury in puumala hantavirus-induced haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. | previous studies indicate that smoking affects the outcome of some infections and is a risk factor for puumala virus (puuv) infection. the aim of this study was to assess the effect of smoking on the clinical severity of puuv infection and the prevalence of smoking in patients with puuv infection. | 2015 | 26150428 |
| community acquired severe acute kidney injury caused by hantavirus-induced hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome has a favorable outcome. | puumala hantavirus (puuv) induces an acute tubulointerstitial nephritis and acute kidney injury (aki). our aim was to evaluate the prognosis of severe aki associated with puuv infection. | 2015 | 26139246 |
| spatiotemporal dynamics of puumala hantavirus associated with its rodent host, myodes glareolus. | many viruses significantly impact human and animal health. understanding the population dynamics of these viruses and their hosts can provide important insights for epidemiology and virus evolution. puumala virus (puuv) is a european hantavirus that may cause regional outbreaks of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in humans. here, we analyzed the spatiotemporal dynamics of puuv circulating in local populations of its rodent reservoir host, the bank vole (myodes glareolus) during eight years. ... | 2015 | 26136821 |
| risk factors and potential preventive measures for nephropatia epidemica in sweden 2011-2012: a case-control study. | nephropatia epidemica (ne), a relatively mild form of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome caused by the puumala virus (puuv), is endemic in northern sweden. we aim to study the risk factors associated with ne in this region. | 2015 | 26134289 |
| physiological condition of bank voles (myodes glareolus) during the increase and decline phases of the population cycle. | the dynamics of animal populations are greatly influenced by interactions with their natural enemies and food resources. however, quantifying the relative effects of these factors on demographic rates remains a perpetual challenge for animal population ecology. food scarcity is assumed to limit the growth and to initiate the decline of cyclic herbivore populations, but this has not been verified with physiological health indices. we hypothesized that individuals in declining populations would ex ... | 2015 | 26006298 |
| acalculous cholecystitis associated with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. | hantaviruses are responsible for various types of hemorrhagic fevers depending on the involved subtype. in europe, puumala virus is responsible for an epidemic nephropathy. this infection can be complicated by severe abdominal pain. a rarely reported cause of this presenting symptom is acalculous cholecystitis, which must be integrated in the clinicobiological spectrum and should not lead to a surgical sanction. its presence seems to be correlated with the severity of the disease, whose main pat ... | 2015 | 25982259 |
| competitive homogeneous immunoassay for rapid serodiagnosis of hantavirus disease. | in this study, we describe a competitive homogeneous immunoassay that makes use of förster resonance energy transfer (fret) in rapid detection of pathogen-specific antibodies. the assay principle is based on competition between a monoclonal antibody (mab) and serum antibodies to a given antigen. in the assay, named competitive fret immunoassay (cfret-ia), the fret signal is induced if mab carrying a donor label binds to an acceptor-labeled antigen. specific antibodies in serum compete for antige ... | 2015 | 25972427 |
| age-related effects of chronic hantavirus infection on female host fecundity. | 1. pathogens often cause detrimental effects to their hosts and, consequently, may influence host population dynamics that may, in turn, feed back to pathogen transmission dynamics. understanding fitness effects of pathogens upon animal host populations can help to predict the risks that zoonotic pathogens pose to humans. 2. here we determine whether chronic infection by puumala hantavirus (puuv) affects important fitness-related traits, namely the probability of breeding, reproductive effort an ... | 2015 | 25965086 |
| association of low serum tgf-β level in hantavirus infected patients with severe disease. | hantaviruses are emerging zoonotic pathogens which cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, an immune-mediated pathogenesis is discussed. the aim of the present study was to investigate the role of tgf-β expression in acute hantavirus infection. | 2015 | 25888018 |

| serological survey of seewis virus antibodies in patients suspected for hantavirus infection in finland; a cross-reaction between puumala virus antiserum with seewis virus n protein? | puumala virus (puuv, carried by myodes glareolus) co-circulates with seewis virus (swsv, carried by sorex araneus) in finland. while puuv causes 1000-3000 nephropathia epidemica (ne) cases annually, the pathogenicity of swsv to man is unknown. to study the prevalence of swsv antibodies in hantavirus fever-like patients' sera, we used recombinant swsv nucleocapsid (n) protein as the antigen in elisa, immunofluorescence assay (ifa) and immunoblotting. while characterizing the recombinant swsv n pr ... | 2015 | 25787939 |
| quantifying the past and future impact of climate on outbreak patterns of bank voles (myodes glareolus). | central european outbreak populations of the bank vole (myodes glareolus schreber) are known to cause damage in forestry and to transmit the most common type of hantavirus (puumala virus, puuv) to humans. a sound estimation of potential effects of future climate scenarios on population dynamics is a prerequisite for long-term management strategies. historic abundance time series were used to identify the key weather conditions associated with bank vole abundance, and were extrapolated to future ... | 2015 | 24889216 |
| inflammatory cytokines kinetics define the severity and phase of nephropathia epidemica. | nephropathia epidemica (ne) is a form of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome associated with the puumala virus species of hantavirus. the pathogenesis of ne is not well understood; therefore, investigating the inflammatory cytokine response to infection may provide useful knowledge in deciphering the pathophysiology of ne. | 2015 | 25313675 |
| acute kidney injury and tools for risk-stratification in 456 patients with hantavirus-induced nephropathia epidemica. | puumala virus (puuv) is the most common species of hantavirus in central europe. nephropathia epidemica (ne), caused by puuv, is characterized by acute kidney injury (aki) and thrombocytopenia. the major goals of this study were to provide a clear clinical phenotyping of aki in patients with ne and to develop an easy prediction rule to identify patients, who are at lower risk to develop severe aki. | 2015 | 25313168 |
| [development of elisa on the basis of monoclonal antibodies for detecting specific activity of the vaccine against hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome]. | the monoclonal antibodies to puumala, dobrava, hantaan, and seoul hantaviruses were obtained using mice. the viruses were known to cause hfrs, and two variants of elisa were designed. first, hanta-puu variant, was constructed using monoclonal antibodies to puumala virus envelope glycoprotein (g(n):g(c)) for detecting only puumala virus antigen. the second, hanta-n variant, was constructed using monoclonal antibodies to dobrava and puumala nucleocapsid proteins for detecting four above mentioned ... | 2016 | 23785761 |
| long-term hormonal follow-up after human puumala hantavirus infection. | nephropathia epidemica (ne) is a haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) caused by puumala hantavirus (puuv). pituitary haemorrhage and hypopituitarism may complicate recovery from acute ne. | 2016 | 26202013 |
| environmental conditions in favour of a hantavirus outbreak in 2015 in germany? | bank voles can harbour puumala virus (puuv) and vole populations usually peak in years after beech mast. a beech mast occurred in 2014 and a predictive model indicates high vole abundance in 2015. this pattern is similar to the years 2009/2011 when beech mast occurred, bank voles multiplied and human puuv infections increased a year later. given similar environmental conditions in 2014/2015, increased risk of human puuv infections in 2015 is likely. risk management measures are recommended. | 2016 | 26177110 |
| [variants of the immunoreactivity and infectious process in bank vole (myodes glareolus) experimentally infected with the hantavirus puumala (puuv)]. | as a result of a longitudinal study of the puumala hantavirus (puuv) in the experimentally infected bank voles (myodes glareolus), we revealed three groups of the voles differing in the immunoreactivity and viral antigen concentration in the organs. the close correlation between these parameters suggested the existence of various mechanisms of the hantavirus persistence in the host. | 2016 | 25549467 |
| lymphocytic choriomeningitis, ljungan and orthopoxvirus seroconversions in patients hospitalized due to acute puumala hantavirus infection. | the emergence and re-emergence of zoonotic and vector-borne diseases are increasing in europe. prominent rodent-borne zoonotic viruses include puumala hantavirus (puuv; the causative agent of nephropathia epidemica, ne), lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (lcmv), and orthopoxviruses (opv). in addition, ljungan virus (lv) is considered a potentially zoonotic virus. | 2016 | 27721109 |
| serological survey in the finnish human population implies human-to-human transmission of ljungan virus or antigenically related viruses. | ljungan virus (lv) is a picornavirus related to human parechoviruses (hpev). the virus has been found in bank voles (myodes glareolus) and several other rodent species, and suggested to have zoonotic potential. thus far, seroepidemiological data on lv infections in humans are scarce. in this study, we aimed to characterize the demographic and geographical distribution of lv-reactive antibodies in finland, and to investigate its occurrence in patients suspected of having a rodent-borne disease, n ... | 2016 | 26489898 |
| reservoir-driven heterogeneous distribution of recorded human puumala virus cases in south-west germany. | endemic regions for puumala virus (puuv) are located in the most affected federal state baden-wuerttemberg, south-west germany, where high numbers of notified human hantavirus disease cases have been occurring for a long time. the distribution of human cases in baden-wuerttemberg is, however, heterogeneous, with a high number of cases recorded during 2012 in four districts (h districts) but a low number or even no cases recorded in four other districts (l districts). bank vole monitoring during ... | 2016 | 27918151 |
| autoimmune polyendocrinopathy and hypophysitis after puumala hantavirus infection. | puumala hantavirus (puuv) infection causes nephropathia epidemica (ne), a relatively mild form of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs). hypophyseal haemorrhage and hypopituitarism have been described in case reports on patients with acute ne. chronic hypopituitarism diagnosed months or years after the acute illness has also been reported, without any signs of a haemorrhagic aetiology. the mechanisms leading to the late-onset hormonal defects remain unknown. here, we present a case of ne ... | 2016 | 27857837 |
| clinical characterization of two severe cases of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) caused by hantaviruses puumala and dobrava-belgrade genotype sochi. | hantavirus disease belongs to the emerging infections. the clinical picture and severity of infections differ between hantavirus species and may even vary between hantavirus genotypes. the mechanisms that lead to the broad variance of severity in infected patients are not completely understood. host- and virus-specific factors are considered. | 2016 | 27842513 |
| hmgb1 is a potential biomarker for severe viral hemorrhagic fevers. | hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) and crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) are common representatives of viral hemorrhagic fevers still often neglected in some parts of the world. infection with dobrava or puumala virus (hfrs) and crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus (cchfv) can result in a mild, nonspecific febrile illness or as a severe disease with hemorrhaging and high fatality rate. an important factor in optimizing survival rate in patients with vhf is instant recognition of ... | 2016 | 27348219 |
| vaccinia virus-free rescue of fluorescent replication-defective vesicular stomatitis virus and pseudotyping with puumala virus glycoproteins for use in neutralization tests. | puumala virus (puuv) grows slowly in cell culture. to study antigenic properties of puuv, an amenable method for their expression would be beneficial. to achieve this, a replication-defective recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus, rvsvδg*egfp, was rescued using bsrt7/5 and encephalomyocarditis virus (emcv) internal ribosomal entry site (ires)-enabled rescue plasmids. using these particles, pseudotypes bearing puuv sotkamo strain glycoproteins were produced, with titres in the range 105-108, and ... | 2016 | 26916544 |
| elevated thrombopoietin and platelet indices confirm active thrombopoiesis but fail to predict clinical severity of puumala hantavirus infection. | we evaluated the mechanisms of thrombocytopenia and procoagulant changes in relation with clinical variables in a cohort of patients with acute hantavirus disease.blood samples of 33 prospectively recruited, consecutive, hospitalized patients with acute puumala virus-induced hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) were collected acutely and at the recovery visit (control). serum thrombopoietin (tpo) and activity of plasma microparticles (mps) from various cell sources were measured with enz ... | 2016 | 28033261 |
| human puumala hantavirus infection in northern sweden; increased seroprevalence and association to risk and health factors. | the rodent borne puumala hantavirus (puuv) causes haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in central and northern europe. the number of cases has increased and northern sweden has experienced large outbreaks in 1998 and 2006-2007 which raised questions regarding the level of immunity in the human population. | 2016 | 27737653 |
| hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome due to puumala virus in germany. | in germany puumala virus (puuv), known to cause mild forms of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs), is the predominating endemic hantavirus. we herein describe an unusually severe case of a puuv infection that occurred in summer 2015 in south eastern germany in a region known to be endemic for puuv since over ten years. a 54-year-old female gardener was admitted to hospital with fever, cough and dyspnea. within 48hours the patient developed a rapid progressive adult respiratory distress ... | 2016 | 27721108 |
| declining ecosystem health and the dilution effect. | the "dilution effect" implies that where species vary in susceptibility to infection by a pathogen, higher diversity often leads to lower infection prevalence in hosts. for directly transmitted pathogens, non-host species may "dilute" infection directly (1) and indirectly (2). competitors and predators may (1) alter host behavior to reduce pathogen transmission or (2) reduce host density. in a well-studied system, we tested the dilution of the zoonotic puumala hantavirus (puuv) in bank voles (my ... | 2016 | 27499001 |
| smoking is a risk factor for severe acute kidney injury in hantavirus-induced nephropathia epidemica. | hantaviruses are zoonotic pathogens causing emerging diseases worldwide. patients typically present with fever, acute kidney injury (aki) and thrombocytopenia. puumala virus (puuv) that causes nephropathia epidemica (ne) is common in germany. recently, a study from finland revealed an association between nicotine consumption and the severity of aki in ne. differences between individuals in finland and germany might modulate the effect; therefore, the aim of our study was to prove that smoking is ... | 2016 | 27388481 |
| thrombocytopenia associates with the severity of inflammation and variables reflecting capillary leakage in puumala hantavirus infection, an analysis of 546 finnish patients. | hantaviruses cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (hcps) in humans. hantavirus infections are characterized by thrombocytopenia. our objective was to assess the association of thrombocytopenia with disease severity in hfrs induced by puumala hantavirus (puuv). | 2016 | 27299174 |
| electrocardiographic abnormalities and relative bradycardia in patients with hantavirus-induced nephropathia epidemica. | nephropathia epidemica (ne), caused by puumala virus (puuv), is characterized by acute kidney injury (aki) and thrombocytopenia. cardiac involvement with electrocardiographic (ecg) abnormalities has been previously reported in ne; however, its prognostic value is unknown. relative bradycardia is an important clinical sign in various infectious diseases, and previous smaller studies have described pulse-temperature deficit in patients with puuv infection. | 2016 | 27296590 |
| hantavirus in new geographic regions, sweden. | in sweden, human cases of puumala hantavirus (puuv) infections are reported from the northern endemic regions. we found hantavirus-specific antibodies in yellow-necked mice (apodemus flavicollis) trapped in human dwellings in the surroundings of the cities of uppsala and stockholm, which are situated far south from the traditional endemic areas of puuv. because the yellow-necked mouse is the most common rodent in human dwellings, hantaviruses in this rodent species may be important for the publi ... | 2016 | 27258208 |
| a molecular-level account of the antigenic hantaviral surface. | hantaviruses, a geographically diverse group of zoonotic pathogens, initiate cell infection through the concerted action of gn and gc viral surface glycoproteins. here, we describe the high-resolution crystal structure of the antigenic ectodomain of gn from puumala hantavirus (puuv), a causative agent of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. fitting of puuv gn into an electron cryomicroscopy reconstruction of intact gn-gc spike complexes from the closely related but non-pathogenic tula hantavir ... | 2016 | 27117403 |
| regional differences in long-term cycles and seasonality of puumala virus infections, finland, 1995-2014. | puumala hantavirus (puuv) causes haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in humans, an endemic disease in finland. we aimed to study recent trends in puuv infections in finland, to evaluate whether there are regional differences in seasonality and long-term cycles and whether the patterns have changed over time. we analysed serologically confirmed acute puuv infections reported to the national infectious disease register from 1 april 1995 to 31 march 2014. a total of 30 942 cases of puuv infectio ... | 2016 | 27113030 |
| characterization of puumala hantavirus in bank voles from two regions in the netherlands where human cases occurred. | puumala hantavirus (puuv) is the most common and widespread hantavirus in europe and is associated with a mild form of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in humans, called nephropathia epidemica. this study presents the molecular characterization of puuv circulating in bank voles in two regions of the netherlands. most human cases of hantavirus infection are from these two regions. phylogenetic analysis of the (partial) s, m and l-segments indicated that the dutch strains belong to the ce li ... | 2016 | 27075118 |

| spatial and temporal epidemiology of nephropathia epidemica incidence and hantavirus seroprevalence in rodent hosts: identification of the main environmental factors in europe. | in europe, the increasing number of nephropathia epidemica (ne) infections in humans, caused by puumala virus carried by bank voles (myodes glareolus), has triggered studies of environmental factors driving these infections. ne infections have been shown to occur in specific geographical areas characterized by environmental factors that influence the distribution and dynamics of host populations and virus persistence in the soil. here, we review the influence of environmental conditions (includi ... | 2016 | 26996739 |
| [seoul hantavirus infection-associated hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in france: a case report]. | rodents are hantavirus hosts. in europe, hantaviruses are responsible for human infections resulting in hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. thousands of puumala virus infections are reported annually in europe, whereas human seoul virus infections are rarely detected. | 2016 | 26971198 |
| temporal dynamics of puumala hantavirus infection in cyclic populations of bank voles. | understanding the dynamics of zoonotic pathogens in their reservoir host populations is a prerequisite for predicting and preventing human disease epidemics. the human infection risk of puumala hantavirus (puuv) is highest in northern europe, where populations of the rodent host (bank vole, myodes glareolus) undergo cyclic fluctuations. we conducted a 7-year capture-mark-recapture study to monitor seasonal and multiannual patterns of the puuv infection rate in bank vole populations exhibiting a ... | 2016 | 26887639 |
| selective predation on hantavirus-infected voles by owls and confounding effects from landscape properties. | it has been suggested that predators may protect human health through reducing disease-host densities or selectively preying on infected individuals from the population. however, this has not been tested empirically. we hypothesized that tengmalm's owl (aegolius funereus) selectively preys on hantavirus-infected individuals of its staple prey, the bank vole (myodes glareolus). bank voles are hosts of puumala hantavirus, which causes a form of hemorrhagic fever in humans. selective predation by o ... | 2016 | 26873607 |
| cytotoxic immune responses in the lungs correlate to disease severity in patients with hantavirus infection. | hantavirus infections may cause severe and sometime life-threatening lung failure. the pathogenesis is not fully known and there is an urgent need for effective treatment. we aimed to investigate the association between pulmonary viral load and immune responses, and their relation to disease severity. bronchoscopy with sampling of bronchoalveolar lavage (bal) fluid was performed in 17 patients with acute puumala hantavirus infection and 16 healthy volunteers acting as controls. lymphocyte subset ... | 2016 | 26873376 |
| two clinical cases of renal syndrome caused by dobrava/saaremaa hantaviruses imported to the netherlands from poland and belarus, 2012-2014. | we report the rare event of two imported cases in the netherlands presenting with renal syndrome caused by dobrava (dobv)/saaremaa (saav) hantaviruses. dobv/saav hantaviruses are not circulating in the netherlands and their clinical manifestation is typically more severe than that of the endemic puumala virus (puuv). this report aims to increase awareness among healthcare professionals and diagnostic laboratories to consider different hantaviruses as a cause of renal failure. | 2016 | 26818411 |
| detection of puumala virus in the tissue of infected naturally rodent hosts in the area of central dinarides. | hantaviruses are the causative agents of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) in euroasia and of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (hcps) in the north, central and south america. hfrs is endemic in the balkan peninsula, where sporadic cases or outbreaks have been reported. puumala virus (puuv) is the causative agent of nephropathia epidemica (ne), a mild form of hfrs. puuv is carried by the bank voles (myodes glareolus). in this study, we investigated viral rna from 76 tissues samples ... | 2016 | 26800777 |

| interferons induce stat1-dependent expression of tissue plasminogen activator, a pathogenicity factor in puumala hantavirus disease. | hantaviruses are zoonotic viruses that show various degrees of vasculopathy in humans. in this study, we analyzed the regulation of 2 fibrinolytic parameters, tissue plasminogen activator (tpa) and its physiological inhibitor, plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (pai-1), in puumala hantavirus (puuv)-infected patients and in human microvascular endothelial cells. we detected strong upregulation of tpa in the acute phase of illness and in puuv-infected macaques and found the tpa level to positively ... | 2016 | 26704613 |
| acute human inkoo and chatanga virus infections, finland. | inkoo virus (inkv) and chatanga virus (chatv), which are circulating in finland, are mosquitoborne california serogroup orthobunyaviruses that have a high seroprevalence among humans. worldwide, inkv infection has been poorly described, and chatv infection has been unknown. using serum samples collected in finland from 7,961 patients suspected of having viral neurologic disease or puumala virus infection during the summers of 2001-2013, we analyzed the samples to detect california serogroup infe ... | 2016 | 27088268 |
| inhibition of the hantavirus fusion process by predicted domain iii and stem peptides from glycoprotein gc. | hantaviruses can cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome or hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in humans. to enter cells, hantaviruses fuse their envelope membrane with host cell membranes. previously, we have shown that the gc envelope glycoprotein is the viral fusion protein sharing characteristics with class ii fusion proteins. the ectodomain of class ii fusion proteins is composed of three domains connected by a stem region to a transmembrane anchor in the viral envelope. these fusion protein ... | 2016 | 27414047 |
| crystal structure of glycoprotein c from a hantavirus in the post-fusion conformation. | hantaviruses are important emerging human pathogens and are the causative agents of serious diseases in humans with high mortality rates. like other members in the bunyaviridae family their m segment encodes two glycoproteins, gn and gc, which are responsible for the early events of infection. hantaviruses deliver their tripartite genome into the cytoplasm by fusion of the viral and endosomal membranes in response to the reduced ph of the endosome. unlike phleboviruses (e.g. rift valley fever vi ... | 2016 | 27783673 |
| molecular diagnosis of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome caused by puumala virus. | rodent-borne hantaviruses cause two severe acute diseases: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (hfrs) in eurasia, and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (hps; also called hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome [hcps]) in the americas. puumala virus (puuv) is the most common causative agent of hfrs in europe. current routine diagnostic methods are based on serological analyses and can yield inconclusive results. hantavirus-infected patients are viremic during the early phase of disease; therefore, dete ... | 2016 | 26962084 |
| puumala virus in bank voles, lithuania. | little is known about the presence of human pathogenic puumala virus (puuv) in lithuania. we detected this virus in bank voles (myodes glareolus) in a region of this country in which previously puuv-seropositive humans were identified. our results are consistent with heterogeneous distributions of puuv in other countries in europe. | 2017 | 27983939 |
| host-associated absence of human puumala virus infections in northern and eastern germany. | human hantavirus disease cases, caused by puumala virus (puuv), are mainly recorded in western and southern areas of germany. this bank vole reservoir survey confirmed puuv presence in these regions but its absence in northern and eastern regions. puuv occurrence is associated with the presence of the western bank vole phylogroup. | 2017 | 27983499 |
| microevolution of bank voles (myodes glareolus) at neutral and immune-related genes during multiannual dynamic cycles: consequences for puumala hantavirus epidemiology. | understanding how host dynamics, including variations of population size and dispersal, may affect the epidemiology of infectious diseases through ecological and evolutionary processes is an active research area. here we focus on a bank vole (myodes glareolus) metapopulation surveyed in finland between 2005 and 2009. bank vole is the reservoir of puumala hantavirus (puuv), the agent of nephropathia epidemica (ne, a mild form of hemorrhagic fever with renal symptom) in humans. m. glareolus popula ... | 2017 | 27956196 |
| islet autoantibodies present in association with ljungan virus infection in bank voles (myodes glareolus) in northern sweden. | bank voles are known reservoirs for puumala hantavirus and probably also for ljungan virus (lv), a suggested candidate parechovirus in type 1 diabetes etiology and pathogenesis. the aim of this study was to determine whether wild bank voles had been exposed to lv and if exposure associated to autoantibodies against insulin (iaa), glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (gada), or islet autoantigen-2 (ia-2a). serum samples from bank voles (myodes glareolus) captured in early summer or early winter of 1997 ... | 2017 | 27283793 |
| leptospira spp. in small mammals from areas with low and high human hantavirus incidences in south-west germany. | leptospirosis is caused by leptospira spp. and is considered the most widespread zoonotic disease worldwide. it mimics nephropathia epidemica in humans, a disease mainly caused by puumala hantavirus (puuv). small mammals are reservoirs for leptospira spp. and puuv. seewis virus (swsv) is a shrew-borne hantavirus with unknown pathogenicity. the objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence for leptospira spp. and the frequency of leptospira-hantavirus co-infections in small mammals colle ... | 2017 | 28332927 |
| glomerular proteinuria predicts the severity of acute kidney injury in puumala hantavirus-induced tubulointerstitial nephritis. | puumala virus (puuv)-induced hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome is common in many european countries. the typical renal histologic lesion is acute tubulointerstitial nephritis. we examined the type and kinetics of urine protein excretion and prognostic significance of proteinuria for the severity of acute kidney injury (aki) in acute puuv infection. | 2017 | 28319945 |
