Kıtalararası köprü; Avrupa ve Küçük Asya’nın Hantavirüsleri

Öz

Hantavirüs cinsinin üyeleri, Bunyaviridea ailesi içinde yer alır ve Avrasya kıtasında renal sendromla seyreden kanamalı ateş RSKA ve Amerika kıtasında hantavirüs Kardiyopulmoner Kemirgenler –ve son olarak keşfedilen insektuvarlar böcek yiyiciler - şimdiye kadar keşfedilen hantavirus serotipleri için taşıyıcı olarak rol oynarlar. Avrupa alt kıtasında bütün bilinen hantavirüs taşıyıcıları Türkiye’de de mevcuttur. Bu nedenle, olasılıkla gelecekte daha birçok hantavirüs serotipi Türkiye’de tespit edilebilecektir. Avrupa kıtası üzerinde, RSKA on binlerce bireyi etkileyen endemik bir zoonozdur. Türkiye’nin Karadeniz bölgesinde 2009 yılında, hantavirüs hastalığının ilk salgını yaşanmıştır. Bu olay için, bölgedeki meteorolojik veriler önemli ölçüde ipuçları sağlayabilir: Temmuz-Ağustos-Eylül aylarındaki ortalama sıcaklık değerleri ve aylık ortalama yağış oranları önceki yıllara göre daha yüksektir. Bartın ilinde 2008 ve 2009 yılları aynı zamanda kayın Fagus sylvatica ağaçları için meşe palamudu yılı mast years idi. Bu olaylar uygun iklim koşulları ve gıda bolluğu , 2008 ve 2009 yıllarında salgın meydana gelen bölgelerde muhtemelen Bank Vole ve diğer tohum yiyen kemirgenlerde bir artışa yol açtı. Tarım ve ormancılık uzmanları tarafından sağlanan bilgilerle de kemirgen nüfus artışı teyit edilmiştir. Bu makalede Avrupa ve Türkiye’deki hantavirüs sorununa genel bir bakış sağlamayı amaçladık

Abstract

Members of the genus hantavirus, family Bunyaviridae, are the causative agents of Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome HFRS on the Eurasian continent and Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome HCPS on the American continent. Rodents -and as was recently discovered also insectivores- act as carriers for the so far discovered hantaviral serotypes. All known hantavirus carriers from the European sub-continent are also present in Turkey. Therefore the possibility exists that in the future more hantavirus serotypes will be detected in Turkey. On the European subcontinent, HFRS is an endemic zoonosis that affects tens of thousands of individuals. In the year 2009 Turkey experienced his first outbreak of hantavirus disease in the Black Sea region. The meteorological data from the region provide clues for this event as both the average temperature in JulyAugust-September and monthly average precipitation were significantly higher than in previous years. The years 2008 and 2009 were also mast years for the beech Fagus sylvatica in the Bartin province. These events favorable climatic conditions and food abundance probably led to an abundance of bank voles and other seed-eating rodents as witnessed by information provided by agricultural and forestry experts concerning an increase in rodent populations in 2008 and 2009 in the regions where the outbreak occurred. Here we provide an overview of the hantavirus problem in Europe and Turkey
