Complete genome of a Puumala virus strain from Central Europe
Puumala virus (PUUV) is one of the predominant hantavirus species in Europe causing mild to moderate cases of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. Parts of Lower Saxony in north-western Germany are endemic for PUUV infections. In this study, the complete PUUV genome sequence of a bank vole-derived tissue sample from the 2007 outbreak was determined ...

Risk Factors for Human Infection with Puumala Virus, Southwestern Germany
Puumala virus, which causes nephropathia epidemica (NE), is the most prevalent hantavirus in Germany; bank voles serve as the main reservoir. During 2001-2007, most NE cases reported from Germany occurred in the southwestern state of Baden-Württemberg.

Characterization of Expression of Puumala Virus Nucleocapsid Protein in Transgenic Plants
Transgenic plants expressing a foreign gene are a suitable system for the production of relevant immunogens in high amounts that can be used for the development of a new generation of vaccines against a variety of infectious diseases. In the present study, the expression of the nucleocapsid (N) protein of hantavirus serotype Puumala in tobacco and ...

Prevalence of antibodies specific to Puumala virus among farmers in Sweden
The Puumala virus is the causative agent of nephropathia epidemica, a European form of hemorrhagic fever with a renal syndrome. From its reservoir in bank voles, the virus is spread by airborne transmission to humans. Occupational risks for the acquisition of nephropathia epidemica are not well defined.

Puumala virus (PUUV), which causes hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), is endemic in Russia, including the Republic of Tatarstan (RT). Although hundreds of HFRS cases are recorded in RT annually, little is known about the genetic diversity of ...

Gastrointestinal Tract As Entry Route for Hantavirus Infection
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.
