Incidence of hantavirus infections in Belgium

Virus Research, 2001
Over the last two decades, and from the moment that serological detection was possible, human hantavirus infections have been documented in most European countries. This paper summarises the available data on hantavirus cases in Belgium. These data enable the demonstration of the existence of a 3-year epidemic cycle in Belgium, which is apparently ...

Procalcitonin in hantavirus infections

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 2011
In hantavirus infections levels of serum leukocytes or C-reactive protein are usually elevated to levels found in serious bacterial infections. However, procalcitonin in patients infected with hantavirus has not yet been discussed in the literature.

Hantavirus Infections in Latvia

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2002
In order to investigate the presence of hantavirus infections in Latvia, 333 randomly selected human serum samples were screened using an enzyme-linked immunoassay. Fifteen samples were positive for hantavirus-specific IgG and were subsequently serotyped using a focus reduction neutralization test.

Hantavirus infections in Europe

2001
Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of the epidemiology of hantavirus infections in Europe and the genetics of European hantaviruses. Hantaviruses form a separate genus within the family Bunyaviridae . Unlike other members of the family, hantaviruses are not arthropode-borne agents. They are maintained in persistently infected rodent

[Hantavirus infections].

Revue medicale suisse, 2022
Hantaviruses are enveloped zoonotic RNA viruses hosted by rodents and responsible in the Americas for hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. In Europe, they cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome and its milder form, nephropathia epidemica. The disease begins abruptly with high fever, chills, headache, back pain and abdominal pain associated with nausea ...

Hantavirus infection in East Asia

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2007
Hantaviruses are enveloped RNA viruses that belong to the Hantavirus genus of the family Bunyaviridae. These viruses persistently infect their rodent reservoirs without causing disease. The virus is transmitted to humans via the inhalation of infectious aerosols generated from contaminated animal secretions or through the contaminated saliva of animal ...

Hantavirus Infection in the Domestic Cat

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1994
To the Editor. —Recently we have presented serological evidence that domestic cats are susceptible to Hantavirus infection. 1 Five percent of cats that had been allowed to roam outside and to hunt showed antibodies to the European Puumala serotype of Hantavirus .

Hantavirus infections: epidemiology and pathogenesis

Microbes and Infection, 1999
Hantaviruses are enveloped RNA viruses that persistently infect rodent hosts without ill-effect. The host persistently excretes virus in urine and saliva. Man becomes infected from the rodents when one enters the ecological niche of the other. There are two major clinical presentations--haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, found worldwide in various

Spatial spread of the Hantavirus infection

Physical Review E, 2015
The spatial propagation of Hantavirus-infected mice is considered a serious threat for public health. We analyze the spatial spread of the infected mice by including diffusion in the stage-dependent model for Hantavirus infection recently proposed by Reinoso and de la Rubia [Phys. Rev. E 87, 042706 (2013)].
