Objective
We focus on rodent-borne viral zoonoses in Europe with emphasis on hantaviruses. Rodents are the reservoir of hanta-, arena- and cowpox viruses, and may also be that for Borna disease virus. Close and long-term interaction between virologists and zoologists is a prerequisite for our successful research. In Europe, the hantaviruses Puumala, Dobrava and Saaremaa cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. We aim to learn more about the epidemiology of viral zoonoses in rodents, transmission to humans, and human epidemiology in Europe. Large-scale epidemiological studies may define long-term consequences of hantavirus infections. Rapid "bed-side" diagnostic tests will be developed. Reverse genetics, new animal models, characterization of humoral and CTL response, HLA haplotypes, other host genetic factors, and cell biology of virus infection will be studied to understand the pathogenesis and to develop antivirals.
