Genomic signatures of climate adaptation in bank voles
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2024.We investigated adaptive differences in 12 bank vole populations across Europe in conjunction with geographic climate variation. We used multiple genotype‐environment associations, found that mean annual temperature was a shaping factor, and identified signatures of selection in candidate genes related to lipid metabolism and the immune system.

A five-year perspective on the situation of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome and status of the hantavirus reservoirs in Europe, 2005-2010 [PDF]
, 2011 Hantavirus infections are reported from many countries in Europe and with highly variable annual case numbers. In 2010, more than 2,000 human cases were reported in Germany, and numbers above the baseline have also been registered in other European ...

Puumala Virus Infections in Finland: Increased Occupational Risk for Farmers [PDF]
American Journal of Epidemiology, 1999 Puumala hantavirus, transmitted by bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus), causes a mild-type hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. The disease is common in Finland and is considered an occupational hazard for farmers, but the actual risk has not been assessed by analytical studies.

Integrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 52-65, January 2024.Using network analysis, the aim of this study was to identify the direct and indirect pathways in which pathogen prevalence (here Puumala orthohantavirus [PUUV] in bank voles) can be influenced by the composition of the small mammal community. We show that direct interspecific competition with the main antagonist species group (Apodemus spp.) is the ...

Development of a Bioaerosol Sampling Method for Airborne Pathogen Detection with Focus on SARS‐CoV‐2
Indoor Air, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.As worldwide evidence shows that the predominant transmission route of SARS‐CoV‐2 and other respiratory pathogens is airborne, the need for suitable methods for the sampling of bioparticles directly from the air is more urgent than ever. The present paper describes the development of a method for the collection of biological aerosols, using a ...

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2015 Background/Aims: Puumala virus causes nephropathia epidemica (NE), a milder form of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome that occurs in Central and Northern Europe. Several studies have sought to identify risk factors for severe NE.

An endemic hantavirus in field voles in northern England [PDF]
, 2017 We report a PCR survey of hantavirus infection in the extensive field vole (Microtus agrestis) populations occurring in the Kielder Forest, northern England. A Tatenale virus-like lineage was frequently detected (~ 15% prevalence) in liver tissue.

Who is killing whom? Hantaviruses vs programmed cell death [PDF]
, 2016 Hantaviruses belong to the Bunyaviridae family of negative stranded RNA viruses. They carry a tri-segmented genome and consist of four structural proteins.

Hantavirus glycoprotein GN in virion assembly and regulation of interferon response [PDF]
, 2011 Hantaviruses have a tri-segmented negative-stranded RNA genome. The S segment encodes the nucleocapsid protein (N), M segment two glycoproteins, Gn and Gc, and the L segment the RNA polymerase.
