Bank voles can harbour Puumala virus (PUUV) and vole populations usually peak in years after beech mast. A beech mast occurred in 2014 and a predictive model indicates high vole abundance in 2015. This pattern is similar to the years 2009/2011 when beech mast occurred, bank voles multiplied and human PUUV infections increased a year later. Given similar environmental conditions in 2014/2015, increased risk of human PUUV infections in 2015 is likely. Risk management measures are recommended.
小林姬鼠可携带普马拉病毒(PUUV),而小林姬鼠种群数量通常在山毛榉结实大年之后的年份达到峰值。2014年出现了山毛榉结实大年,一个预测模型显示2015年小林姬鼠数量会很多。这种模式与2009/2011年山毛榉结实大年时相似,当时小林姬鼠数量增加,一年后人类感染普马拉病毒的病例也增多了。鉴于2014/2015年环境条件相似,2015年人类感染普马拉病毒的风险很可能增加。建议采取风险管理措施。
