Journal ArticleDOI

Hantavirus infections in Europe and their impact on public health.

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.

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

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.

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).

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...
