Journal ArticleDOI
Hantavirus infections in Europe and their impact on public health.
Antti Vaheri,Antti Vaheri,Heikki Henttonen,Liina Voutilainen,Liina Voutilainen,Jukka Mustonen,Tarja Sironen,Olli Vapalahti,Olli Vapalahti +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that hantaviruses have a significant impact on public health in Europe and no vaccine or specific therapy is in general use in Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endemic hantavirus infection impairs the winter survival of its rodent host.
Eva R. Kallio,Eva R. Kallio,Eva R. Kallio,Liina Voutilainen,Olli Vapalahti,Antti Vaheri,Heikki Henttonen,Esa Koskela,Tapio Mappes +8 more
TL;DR: This work examines the effect of Puumala virus (PUUV) infection on the winter survival of bank voles (Myodes glareolus), the host of this virus, to provide the first evidence for a significant effect of PUUV on host survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tick-borne encephalitis virus in wild rodents in winter, Finland, 2008-2009
Elina Tonteri,Anu Jääskeläinen,Tapani Tikkakoski,Liina Voutilainen,Jukka Niemimaa,Heikki Henttonen,Antti Vaheri,Olli Vapalahti +7 more
TL;DR: RNA of European and Siberian subtypes of TBEV in Microtus agrestis and Myodes glareolus voles suggests persistence in rodent reservoirs may contribute to virus overwintering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple parasites mediate balancing selection at two MHC class II genes in the fossorial water vole: insights from multivariate analyses and population genetics.
Charlotte Tollenaere,Josef Bryja,Maxime Galan,P. Cadet,Julie Deter,Yannick Chaval,Karine Berthier,A. Ribas Salvador,Liina Voutilainen,Juha Laakkonen,Juha Laakkonen,Heikki Henttonen,Jean-François Cosson,Nathalie Charbonnel +13 more
TL;DR: Investigation of factors mediating selection acting on two MHC class II genes in water vole natural populations in the French Jura Mountains found that two alleles displayed antagonistic associations with the nematode Trichuris arvicolae, revealing the potential parasite‐mediated selectionacting on DRB locus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life-long shedding of Puumala hantavirus in wild bank voles (Myodes glareolus).
Liina Voutilainen,Tarja Sironen,Elina Tonteri,Anne Tuiskunen Bäck,Maria Razzauti,Malin Karlsson,Maria Wahlström,Jukka Niemimaa,Heikki Henttonen,Åke Lundkvist +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the shedding patterns and viraemia in the reservoir host species is a key factor in assessing the human risk of zoonotic viruses, and the shedding of hantaviruses (family Bunyavirida...
