The abortion rate among these animals are close to 100%, and young animals develop severe disease which often are lethal. LÄS MER
2. Crimean-Congo hemorragic fever virus : studies on molecular pathogenesis and host-cell interactions
Sammanfattning : Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) disease in humans shows a spectrum of severity, from mild to acute. The pathogenesis of this and other viral haemorrhagic fevers (VHF) is associated with alteration of vascular barrier function and haemorrhage, but the specific underlying mechanism is unknown.

In combination with reforms in market and agricultural policy, this has led to an increase in pig production in sub-Saharan Africa, most notably in Uganda. LÄS MER
4. Implications of Local Puumala Hantavirus Genetics and Epidemiology for Diagnostics and Vaccine Development
Sammanfattning : Puumala viruses, a member of the Hantavirus genus in the Bunyaviridae family, are enveloped by a lipid bilayer and possesses a tripartite single stranded RNA genome with negative polarity. The hantaviruses encode four proteins: a nucleocapsid protein (N), two membrane spanning glycoproteins (GN and GC) and a RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). LÄS MER
