Hantavirus in African wood mouse, Guinea.
Boris Klempa,Elisabeth Fichet-Calvet,Emilie Lecompte,Brita Auste,Vladimir M. Aniskin,Helga Meisel,Christiane Denys,Lamine Koivogui,Jan ter Meulen,Detlev H. Krüger +9 more
TL;DR: Sequence and phylogenetic analyses of the genetic material demonstrate a novel hantavirus species, which the authors propose to name "Sangassou virus".
Novel hantavirus sequences in Shrew, Guinea.
Boris Klempa,Elisabeth Fichet-Calvet,Emilie Lecompte,Brita Auste,Vladimir M. Aniskin,Helga Meisel,Patrick Barrière,Lamine Koivogui,Jan ter Meulen,Detlev H. Krüger +9 more
TL;DR: The recovery of hantavirus RNA of a novel sequence from a shrew, collected in Guinea, West Africa, is reported, and this exceptional position of the Tan826 sequence within the tree is consistent with its detection in a shrew instead of a rodent host.

Hantavirus in bat, Sierra Leone.
Sabrina Weiss,Peter T. Witkowski,Brita Auste,Kathrin Nowak,Natalie Weber,Jakob Fahr,Jean-Vivien Mombouli,Nathan D. Wolfe,Jan Felix Drexler,Christian Drosten,Boris Klempa,Fabian H. Leendertz,Detlev H. Krüger +12 more
TL;DR: A study on hantaviruses in bats from Africa finds that bats are more closely related to shrews and moles than to rodents, and a certain genetic similarity of a putative bat-borne hanavirus with shrew- and mole-associated hantvirus seems reasonable.
Serological Evidence of Human Hantavirus Infections in Guinea, West Africa
Boris Klempa,Boris Klempa,Lamine Koivogui,Oumar Sylla,Kekoura Koulemou,Brita Auste,Detlev H. Krüger,Jan ter Meulen +7 more
TL;DR: The data allow us to conclude that hantavirus infections may be a significant unrecognized medical problem in at least this part of Africa.

Hantavirus Disease Outbreak in Germany: Limitations of Routine Serological Diagnostics and Clustering of Virus Sequences of Human and Rodent Origin
Stefan Schilling,Petra Emmerich,Boris Klempa,Brita Auste,Ebbo Schnaith,Herbert Schmitz,Detlev H. Krüger,Stephan Günther,Helga Meisel +8 more
TL;DR: The Bavaria lineage associated with the outbreak is only distantly related to other PUUV lineages from Germany, and is found to be very closely related to virus sequences obtained from bank voles trapped in the same area.
