Hypopituitarism after Orthohantavirus Infection: What is Currently Known? [PDF]
Several case reports have described hypopituitarism following orthohantavirus infection, mostly following Puumala virus. The pathogenesis of this seemingly rare complication of orthohantavirus infection remains unknown.

Host genetic factors associated with the range limit of a European hantavirus [PDF]
The natural host ranges of many viruses are restricted to very specific taxa. Little is known about the molecular barriers between species that lead to the establishment of this restriction or generally prevent virus emergence in new hosts.

Genotypic differentiation and evolutionary dynamics of puumala orthohantavirus (PUUV)
Puumala orthohantavirus (PUUV) is a causative agent of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, mainly transmitted through rodent excretions. Classification of PUUV has traditionally been based on the geographic locations of their discovery, but this ...

Cross-binding antibodies capable of neutralising diverse hantaviruses are produced in response to Puumala virus infection. [PDF]
Summary: Background: Orthohantaviruses (hantaviruses) are emerging rodent-borne pathogens that can cause severe human disease. They are present on multiple continents and are responsible for thousands of human cases per year.

Cells of the human respiratory tract support the replication of pathogenic Old World orthohantavirus Puumala [PDF]
Background Transmission of all known pathogenic orthohantaviruses (family Hantaviridae) usually occurs via inhalation of aerosols contaminated with viral particles derived from infected rodents and organ manifestation of infections is characterized by ...

Characterization of the Puumala orthohantavirus Strains in the Northwestern Region of the Republic of Tatarstan in Relation to the Clinical Manifestations in Hemorrhagic Fever With Renal Syndrome Patients. [PDF]
Over 1,000 cases of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) were recorded in the Republic of Tatarstan (RT) in 2015. HFRS is a zoonotic disease caused by several different Old World hantaviruses.

Impact of climate change on vector- and rodent-borne infectious diseases [PDF]
Background: Endemic and imported vector- and rodent-borne infectious agents can be linked to high morbidity and mortality. Therefore, vector- and rodent-borne human diseases and the effects of climate change are important public health issues.

Puumala Orthohantavirus Reassortant Genome Variants Likely Emerging in the Watershed Forests. [PDF]
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) remains a prevalent zoonosis in the Republic of Tatarstan (RT), Russian Federation. Puumala orthohantavirus (PUUV), carried by bank voles (Myodes glareolus), is the principal zoonotic pathogen of HFRS in the RT.

Abstract The Puumala orthohantavirus is present in the body of the bank vole (Myodes glareolus). Humans infected with this virus may develop hemorrhagic fever accompanying renal syndrome. In addition, the infection may further lead to the failure of an immune system completely.
