Abstract

Aims: Seoul orthohantavirus (SEOV) and Leptospira spp. are zoonotic pathogens with rats as main reservoir. Recently, the presence of SEOV in brown rats was reported in one region in the Netherlands. Brown rats are a frequent bycatch in traps placed to catch muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) and coypus (Myocastor coypus), and thus are a potential health risk for trappers. It was our aim to determine the seroprevalence of orthohantavirus, specifically SEOV, and Leptospira spp in Dutch trappers. Methods and results: Participating trappers provided serum samples and completed an online questionnaire. The serum was tested for the presence of antibodies against six orthohantaviruses and eight Leptospira serovars. Two hundred-sixty trappers completed the online questionnaire (65%), and 246 (61%) and 162 (40%) serum samples were tested for relevant orthohantaviruses and Leptospira spp., respectively. The seroprevalence of Puumala orthohantavirus in Dutch trappers was 0.4% (95% CI: 0.1-2.3%). None of the participants tested positive for SEOV. The seroprevalence of leptospirosis was 1.2% (95% CI: 0.3-4.4%), although Leptospira spp. are present in brown rats in the Netherlands.Significance of study: The results indicate that the infections with orthohantaviruses and leptospires is low for muskrat and coypu trappers.

2016年荷兰麝鼠和河狸鼠捕鼠者汉坦病毒和钩端螺旋体血清阳性率

目的:首尔正汉坦病毒(SEOV)和钩端螺旋体是人畜共患病原体，以大鼠为主要宿主。最近，在荷兰的一个地区报告了褐鼠中存在SEOV。褐鼠是用于捕获麝鼠(Ondatra zibethicus)和黄鼠(myastor coypus)的陷阱中常见的副捕获物，因此对捕获者有潜在的健康风险。我们的目的是确定荷兰捕兽者中正汉坦病毒(特别是sev)和钩端螺旋体的血清阳性率。方法与结果:参与的捕兽者提供血清样本并填写在线问卷。检测血清中是否存在6种正汉坦病毒和8种钩端螺旋体血清型抗体。260名捕获者完成了在线问卷(65%)，并分别对246份(61%)和162份(40%)血清样本进行了相关的正汉坦病毒和钩端螺旋体检测。荷兰捕兽中普氏正汉坦病毒的血清阳性率为0.4% (95% CI: 0.1-2.3%)。没有参与者的SEOV检测呈阳性。钩端螺旋体病的血清患病率为1.2% (95% CI: 0.3-4.4%)，尽管荷兰棕色大鼠中存在钩端螺旋体。研究意义:结果表明，麝鼠和河狸的正汉坦病毒和钩端螺旋体感染率较低。

期刊介绍： Infection Ecology & Epidemiology aims to stimulate inter-disciplinary collaborations dealing with a range of subjects, from the plethora of zoonotic infections in humans, over diseases with implication in wildlife ecology, to advanced virology and bacteriology. The journal specifically welcomes papers from studies where researchers from multiple medical and ecological disciplines are collaborating so as to increase our knowledge of the emergence, spread and effect of new and re-emerged infectious diseases in humans, domestic animals and wildlife. Main areas of interest include, but are not limited to: 1.Zoonotic microbioorganisms 2.Vector borne infections 3.Gastrointestinal pathogens 4.Antimicrobial resistance 5.Zoonotic microbioorganisms in changing environment
