“…Bu nedenle yazarlar saptadıkları seropozitifliği, hantavirusa bağlı "abortif infeksiyon" geçirilmesi olarak yorumlamışlardır. 2004'te Doğu Karadeniz ve Ege Bölgesi'nde yakalanan 330 kemiriciden 4'ünün (%1.2) serumunda hantavirusa karşı antikor saptanmış; ancak bu kemiricilerde PCR ile hantavirus varlığı gösterilememiştir (38). Aynı yıl Ege Bölgesi'nde böbrek yetmezliği olan 200 olgunun 7'sinde Western blot ile doğrulanan hantavirus-IgG seropozitifliği saptanmıştır (39).…”

ÖzetHantaviruslar, Bunyaviridae ailesinin Hantavirus cinsinde yer alan, kemirici (rodent) veya böcekçil (insektivor) kaynaklı, zarflı bir RNA virusu grubudur. Her hantavirus tipi o tipe özgü bir kemirici türü tarafından taşınır. Günümüze kadar 45 civarında hantavirus tipi saptanmış ve en az 20 tanesi insanlarda infeksiyon etkeni olarak gösterilmiştir. Hantaviruslar kemiricilerde çoğunlukla asemptomatik fakat kronik bir infeksiyona neden olur. Kemiriciler idrar ve dışkılarıyla aylarca çevreye virus saçar-lar. Amerika kıtasında bulunan hantavirus tipleri (Sin Nombre virusu, Andes virusu, Laguna Negra virusu, New York virusu vb.) hantavirus pulmoner sendromuna (HPS) neden olur ve oluşan infeksiyonun fatalitesi oldukça yüksektir (%30 civarında AbstractHantaviruses belonging to the Bunyaviridae family, and the genus Hantavirus, are a group of rodent-or insectivore-borne RNA viruses. Each Hantavirus type is carried by a specific rodent host species. Up to now, approximately 45 hantavirus types have been isolated and at least 20 have been identified as infectious agents in humans. Hantaviruses mostly cause asymptomatic but chronic infections in rodents. Rodents spread the viruses on the surfaces in the environment with their urine and feces during several months. Hantavirus types which exist in the Americas (Sin Nombre virus, Andes virus, Laguna Negra virus, New York virus etc.) cause Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) and the fatality rate of the disease is quite high (around 30%). Hantavirus types which exist in Europe and Asia (Hantaan virus [HTNV], Seoul virus [SEOV], Dobrova virus [DOBV], Puumala virus [PUUV]) cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). HTNV and SEOV in Asia, and PUUV and DOBV in Europe are the major agents of HFRS. Infection caused by HTNV or DOBV is a more serious disease with a fatality rate around 5-10%, while infection caused by PUUV is a mild disease with a fatality rate around 0.1%. Ribavirin was found to be effective in the treatment of HFRS in a few studies conducted in China and Korea. However, it was found to be ineffective in the treatment of HPS in America. The most effective method for prevention seems to be vaccination and studies are still ongoing for a safe and effective vaccine. The first human hantavirus outbreak in Turkey confirmed clinically and serologically was detected in the Zonguldak-Bartın region in February 2009. PUUV and DOBV were isolated from tissue samples of rodents captured in the outbreak region by using polymerase chain reaction and viral cell culture. Considering the current rodent and insectivore species in the country, in addition to PUUV and DOBV, the presence of Saaremaa virus, SEOV, Tula virus and Seewis virus may be anticipated in Turkey.

“…Each hantavirus is carried by a specific rodent or insectivore species and transmission to other species including humans is a "dead end" for the virus (20)(21)(22). Hantavirus infections were confirmed by indirect fluorescent-antibody (IFA) and immunoblotting in the 12 cases of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) reported in the Black Sea region of Turkey in 2009 (10,23). Cowpox viruses are large, enveloped, linear doublestranded DNA viruses, and are classified in the family Poxviridae (24).…”

In this paper, we propose a simplified model that explains the experimental behaviour of the single junction barrier height in varistors. The equation obtained for the barrier height variation versus voltage contains all parameters that characterize the grain boundary and has no adjustable parameters. It allows us to describe the equilibrium state for each voltage level. From this model, it is concluded that the threshold voltage and the nonlinearity coefficient for a single junction barrier are strongly related to the unoccupied traps level at zero bias, when the barrier height at zero bias and the leakage current are related to the filling traps level.
