Evidence of orthohantavirus and leptospira infections in small mammals in an endemic area of Gampaha district in Sri Lanka

One Health Outlook, 2022
Background Orthohantaviruses and leptospira are emerging zoonotic pathogens of high public health significance. The epidemiology of orthohantavirus infections and leptospirosis is similar and presents related clinical pictures in humans.

Cocirculation of Leptospira spp. and multiple orthohantaviruses in rodents, Lithuania, Northern Europe

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page e3196-e3201, September 2022., 2022
Abstract In Europe, zoonotic Leptospira spp. and orthohantaviruses are mainly associated with specific rodent hosts. These pathogens cause febrile human diseases with similar symptoms and disease progression. In Lithuania, the presence of Dobrava‐Belgrade orthohantavirus (DOBV), Tula orthohantavirus (TULV) and Leptospira spp.

Detection and Genetic Characterization of Puumala Orthohantavirus S-Segment in Areas of France Non-Endemic for Nephropathia Epidemica. [PDF]

Pathogens, 2020
Puumala virus (PUUV) in Europe causes nephropathia epidemica (NE), a mild form of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). The incidence of NE is highly heterogeneous spatially, whereas the geographic distribution of the wild reservoir of PUUV, the bank vole, is essentially homogeneous. Our understanding of the processes driving this heterogeneity

Hepatitis E virus in the endangered Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus)

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page e2745-e2756, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an emerging zoonotic pathogen in Europe. In the Iberian Peninsula, wild boar (Sus scrofa) is considered the main wildlife reservoir of HEV. This wild ungulate shares habitat and resources with other potential HEV carriers in Iberian Mediterranean ecosystems, although information about the role of such sympatric ...

Zoonotic pathogen screening of striped field mice (Apodemus agrarius) from Austria

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 2, Page 886-890, March 2022., 2022
Abstract The striped field mouse (Apodemus agrarius) is known to carry several zoonotic pathogens, including Leptospira spp. and Dobrava–Belgrade orthohantavirus (DOBV). Since its first detection in 1996 in south‐east Austria, the striped field mouse has further expanded its range in Austria.

Serological and molecular survey of hepatitis E virus in cats and dogs in Spain

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 2, Page 240-248, March 2022., 2022
Abstract Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an emerging zoonotic pathogen that is currently recognized as one of the major causes of acute human hepatitis worldwide. In Europe, the increasing number of hepatitis E cases is mainly associated with the consumption of animal food products or contact with infected animals.

Maturing neutrophils of lower density associate with thrombocytopenia in Puumala orthohantavirus-caused hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. [PDF]

Front Immunol
Puumala orthohantavirus-caused hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (PUUV-HFRS) is characterized by strong neutrophil activation. Neutrophils are the most abundant immune cell type in the circulation and are specially equipped to rapidly respond to infections.

Gastrointestinal Tract As Entry Route for Hantavirus Infection [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Hantaviruses are zoonotic agents that cause hemorrhagic fevers and are thought to be transmitted to humans by exposure to aerosolized excreta of infected rodents. Puumala virus (PUUV) is the predominant endemic hantavirus in Europe.
