Hantaviruses in environment of natural hantaviral infection foci
Abstract
The hantaviral RNA in environment samples from
foci of hantaviral infections was investigated. Rodent and soil litter
samples were collected in different types of mixed forests. Air
samples with dusty particles were obtained by air-collector from
village buildings. Detection of hantaviral antigen and RNA were
carried out by IFA and RT-PCR. For the first time the presence of
hantaviral RNA was revealed in environment samples: soil litters
(from cedar-broadleaf forest) and air samples (from cold-cellar and
cow-shed). Under sampling environment conditions were associated
with weak sun radiation, low and stability air temperatures and
high moisture litter. Obtained results provide the scientific basis for
the study of the natural mechanism of transmission of hantaviral
infections in rodent-host populations and to humans. Detection of
hantaviral RNA on environment components may be used to the
indirectly monitoring on epidemic risk of enzootic territories on
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.
