“…Puumala orthohantavirus (PUUV) is the hantavirus species most commonly detected in patients in metropolitan France, whereas Seoul orthohantavirus (SEOV) and Tula orthohantavirus (TULV) are detected sporadically. As in some other European countries [ 1 , 2 ], the spatial distribution of HFRS cases is not homogenous in metropolitan France, with detection of human cases being restricted to the northeastern area, including the highly endemic regions of Nord-Pas-de-Calais, Picardie, Franche-Comté [ 3 , 4 ]. There were less than ten individuals with anti-hantavirus antibodies (probable SEOV cases) reported outside the northeastern area in the nineties [ 5 ].…”

We aimed to estimate the seroprevalence of Puumala orthohantavirus (PUUV) among forestry workers in northern France, and to explore sociodemographic risk factors. We conducted a random cross-sectional seroprevalence survey among 1777 forestry workers in 2019–2020. The presence of immunoglobulin G against PUUV antigens in serum was assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and confirmed using immunofluorescence assay. Poisson regression models were used to explore factors associated with seropositivity. Weighted seroprevalence was 5% (3–6) in northeastern France, 4% (2–6) in north central France, and 1% in two regions located in the center of the country (Auvergne and Limousin). There were no seropositive workers detected in northwestern France. Seropositivity was associated with age, sex, and cumulative seniority in the forestry sector. Seroprevalence was highest in known endemic areas of the northeast and lowest in the northwest. Nevertheless, we found serological evidence of PUUV infection in two regions located in the center of the country, suggesting circulation of the virus in these regions, previously thought to be non-endemic.

“…However, there are gaps: (1) most studies have concentrated on the effects of temperature, air pressure, rainfall, and humidity on HFRS 16,18 , with scant evidence concerning sunshine and wind's impact. But these six meteorological factors are coexisting, and the combined exposure may have complex interactions between positive and negative changes in these factors on HFRS; (2) previous work often neglected to account for autocorrelations among dependent variables 15,18,19 , leading to potential overestimations; (3) crucially, there is an absence of research probing into the dynamic impacts of climatic changes on HFRS-understanding if increases or decreases in climatic factors lead to differing effects and how potential factors respond to changes in the short run and how these responses evolve over time are vital for comprehensive insights into HFRS transmission control. To fill these gaps, we employed the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model 20 .…”

“…Given that Shandong (Geographical distribution can be seen in Fig. S1) holds the distinction of being the riskiest among all HFRS-endemic provinces in China 4 , our study aims: (1) to clarify both long-and short-term asymmetric correlations between climatic variables and HFRS in Shandong using the NARDL model; (2) to ascertain if the NARDL model offers a more precise estimation of HFRS epidemic compared to the ARDL model.…”

Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) poses a major threat in Shandong. This study aimed to investigate the long- and short-term asymmetric effects of meteorological factors on HFRS and establish an early forecasting system using autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) and nonlinear ARDL (NARDL) models. Between 2004 and 2019, HFRS exhibited a declining trend (average annual percentage change = − 9.568%, 95% CI − 16.165 to − 2.451%) with a bimodal seasonality. A long-term asymmetric influence of aggregate precipitation (AP) (Wald long-run asymmetry [WLR] = − 2.697, P = 0.008) and aggregate sunshine hours (ASH) (WLR = 2.561, P = 0.011) on HFRS was observed. Additionally, a short-term asymmetric impact of AP (Wald short-run symmetry [WSR] = − 2.419, P = 0.017), ASH (WSR = 2.075, P = 0.04), mean wind velocity (MWV) (WSR = − 4.594, P < 0.001), and mean relative humidity (MRH) (WSR = − 2.515, P = 0.013) on HFRS was identified. Also, HFRS demonstrated notable variations in response to positive and negative changes in ∆MRH(−), ∆AP(+), ∆MWV(+), and ∆ASH(−) at 0–2 month delays over the short term. In terms of forecasting, the NARDL model demonstrated lower error rates compared to ARDL. Meteorological parameters have substantial long- and short-term asymmetric and/or symmetric impacts on HFRS. Merging NARDL model with meteorological factors can enhance early warning systems and support proactive measures to mitigate the disease's impact.

Background: Bibliometrics and statistics were used to determine and analyze the research status of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) from 2004 to 2023, and objectively reflect the development and future trend of HFRS at home and abroad through comparison. Methods: To search the research literature on HFRS in China National Knowledge Network and Web of Science databases from January 2004 to December 2023, CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used to visually analyze the annual publication trends, authors, research institutions, countries, co-cited literature, keywords and other contents of the included literatures. Results: A total of 4460 Chinese literatures and 2372 foreign literatures were included. The number of HFRS published in the Web of Science database showed a trend of positive growth, while the number of HFRS published in China National Knowledge Network showed a trend of decline. Bai Xuefan and Wang Zhiqiang were the most published authors in China, and foreign scholars Vaheri, Antti, Ahlm, Clas. The main research institutions in the domestic literature were Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Liaoning Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, while foreign research institutions concentrated on the University of Helsinki and Ministry of Health. The top 3 countries in the literature research of Web of Science are the USA, China, and Germany. Conclusion: The analysis results of hot spots and trends suggested that we need to develop more reliable tools and methods in the monitoring and spatio-temporal analysis of HFRS epidemic data in the future, so as to provide references for the surveillance and early warning of zoonotic diseases in the field of public health research.
