Comparative Characteristics of Inactivation Agents for HFRS Vaccine Development
The results of various methods of Puumala virus inactivation, including ultraviolet rays (UV), β -propiolactone (BPL) and formalin are presented. Immunogenicity of vaccine preparations obtained using these virus inactivation methods did not differ ...

HEMORRHAGIC FEVER WITH RENAL SYNDROME IN CHILDREN OF THE GORIŠKA REGION IN 2021
Hantaviruses are spread worldwide and cause haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome(HMRS). The two serotypes occurring in Slovenia are Puumala and Dobrava viruses. Puumala virus causes a milder disease, whereas Dobrava virus causes a more severe form. The

Distribution and genetic heterogeneity of Puumala virus in Sweden
Small mammals trapped in Sweden were analysed for specific antibody responses against three hantavirus serotypes and for the presence of viral antigen. To determine the genetic identity of viral RNA in lungs of seropositive bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus), polymerase chain reactions and subsequent partial sequencing of both the M and S segments ...

Puumala Virus RNA in Patient with Multiorgan Failure
To the Editor: The hantaviruses (genus Hantavirus, family Bunyaviridae) include human pathogens and occur worldwide (1). In Western and Central Europe, the predominant serotype is Puumala virus (PUUV), which causes epidemic nephropathy. We report the first Austrian patient with reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)–confirmed PUUV ...

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome in Traveler Returning from Nepal to Spain
Most human hantavirus infections occur in Asia, but some cases have been described in Europe in travelers returning from Asia. We describe a case of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in a previously healthy traveler occurring shortly after he returned to ...

Susceptibility of human cells to Puumala virus infection
Nephropathia epidemica involves several organs including kidney, lung, liver and brain. To investigate the susceptibility of putative target cells to the agent responsible, Puumala virus, we screened established human cell lines of lung (WI-38, A-427, CCD-11Lu), kidney (A-704), liver (Hep G2), pharynx (Detroit 562), submaxillary gland (A-253) and ...

Phylogeographic Diversity of Pathogenic and Non-Pathogenic Hantaviruses in Slovenia
Slovenia is a very diverse country from a natural geography point of view, with many different habitats within a relatively small area, in addition to major geological and climatic differences.

Phylogeography of Puumala orthohantavirus in Europe
Puumala virus is an RNA virus hosted by the bank vole (Myodes glareolus) and is today present in most European countries. Whilst it is generally accepted that hantaviruses have been tightly co-evolving with their hosts, Puumala virus (PUUV) evolutionary ...
