Clinical and etiological characteristics of severe hemorrhagic fever caused by coinfection of hantaan orthohantavirus and severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus

open access: yesJournal of Medical Virology, Volume 96, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) usually have different infection routes, and coinfection is relatively rare. This study examines the clinical and etiological characteristics of coinfection by these two pathogens to provide important references for clinical diagnosis and ...

Determination of Procalcitonin Levels in Patients with Nephropathia Epidemica - A Useful Tool or an Unnecessary Diagnostic Procedure?

open access: yesKidney & 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.

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Go Viral [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Neutrophils are the most numerous immune cells. Their importance as the first line of defense against bacterial and fungal pathogens is well described. In contrast, the role of neutrophils in controlling viral infections is less clear.

Genomic signatures of climate adaptation in bank voles

open access: yesEcology 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.

Small mammal community composition impacts bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus) population dynamics and associated seroprevalence of Puumala orthohantavirus

open access: yesIntegrative 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

open access: yesIndoor 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 ...

Gastrointestinal Tract As Entry Route for Hantavirus Infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Human hantavirus infection elicits pronounced redistribution of mononuclear phagocytes in peripheral blood and airways.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2017
Hantaviruses infect humans via inhalation of virus-contaminated rodent excreta. Infection can cause severe disease with up to 40% mortality depending on the viral strain.
