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 ...

Analytical Performance of the RIDASCREEN® Hantavirus Puumala IgG/IgM ELISA Assay
The National Reference Center for Hantavirus in Belgium is currently using the Hantavirus IgM/IgG ELISA Progen kit (Heidelberg, Germany) for the detection of the most prevalent Hantavirus in Western Europe, Puumala virus (PUUV).

Hantavirus infection-induced B cell activation elevates free light chains levels in circulation.
In humans, orthohantaviruses can cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) or hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). An earlier study reported that acute Andes virus HPS caused a massive and transient elevation in the number of circulating ...

Citizens envisioning life in 2040: A qualitative corporate foresight study in London
Abstract Urban living is changing. Citizens explore new lifestyles in practice and envision alternative urban futures. Companies, as significant stakeholders in cities, are building urban infrastructure and serving citizens' needs. To succeed in the future, companies must be able to navigate the complexity and diversity of evolving cities.

Genomic signatures of climate adaptation in bank voles
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.

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
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 ...

Disease burden of Puumala virus infections, 1995–2008
SUMMARYPuumala virus (PUUV) causes mild haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, a rodent-borne zoonosis. To evaluate the disease burden of PUUV infections in Finland, we analysed data reported by laboratories to the National Infectious Disease Registry during 1995–2008 and compared these with data from other national registries (death, 1998–2007 ...

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.

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 ...
