Overview

Slovenia is in the Europe hantavirus context. The country has documented circulation of PUUV, DOBV (Puumala virus, Dobrava-Belgrade virus).

Dobrava virus was first isolated from a yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis) trapped in Dobrava village, Slovenia, by Avšič-Županc et al. in 1992. Slovenia is one of the few European countries where Dobrava-Belgrade and Puumala virus co-circulate within the same endemic foci; 506 HFRS patients were hospitalised between 1985 and 2012 (132 DOBV, 374 PUUV).
