Abstract

From January to April 2010, 396 hantavirus infections were notified in Germany, a considerable increase compared with previous years (mean: 83 for January-April 2004-2009) including the record-setting year, 2007 (n=232 January-April). Most patients are residents of known Puumala virus endemic areas in southern Germany. The recent increase in notified hantavirus infections is probably due to an increased population density of the main animal reservoir, the bank vole (Myodes glareolus).

摘要

2010 年 1 月至 4 月期间，德国共通报了 396 例汉坦病毒感染病例，与前几年相比（2004-2009 年 1 月至 4 月的平均值为 83 例）有明显增加，包括创纪录的 2007 年（共 232 例）。大多数患者为德国南部已知的普马拉病毒流行地区的居民。近期通报的汉坦病毒感染病例增加，可能是由于主要动物宿主黑线姬鼠的种群密度增加所致。
