The objective of the submitted paper was to present some information pertaining to epidemiological problems of hantavirus infection. In the Czech Republic the prevalence of these infections is not alarming but in the world cases of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) as well as hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) are reported. On the territory of the Czech Republic there are foci of hantaviruses and in conjunction with summer tourism or working activities abroad the import of this infection cannot be ruled out. With regard to the serious character of some forms of the disease it is essential to follow up this problem systematically.

Article Synopsis
- Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is a major public health issue in Jiangxi province, China, with identified genetic variants of Orthohantavirus hantanense (HTNV) in local rodents, prompting research on their link to human infections.
- The study confirmed HFRS cases via real-time RT-PCR, isolated HTNV from patient samples, and sequenced the genomes to understand the variants and their clinical implications.
- Findings showed HTNV RNA in 29% of suspected cases, with high occurrence of fever and thrombocytopenia, while severe kidney injury was noted in a smaller percentage, indicating distinct clinical presentations linked to local HTNV variants.

Malaria is a serious health problem worldwide affecting mainly children and socially vulnerable people. The biological particularities of , such as the ability to generate dormant liver stages, the rapid maturation of gametocytes, and the emergence of drug resistance, have contributed to difficulties in disease control. In this context, developing an effective vaccine has been considered a fundamental tool for the efficient control and/or elimination of vivax malaria.

Article Synopsis
- Orthohantaviruses are significant public health threats, causing various diseases like hemorrhagic fever and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, so monitoring wild rodents for these viruses is crucial for outbreak preparedness.
- Researchers conducted a study from 2015 to 2017 in Southern Anatolia but found no evidence of orthohantavirus infections among the trapped rodents.
- The study suggests that orthohantavirus presence may be influenced by climatic conditions, particularly precipitation and temperature, and emphasizes the need for further research on rodent surveillance in different regions.

Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases have been on the rise, with a significant proportion being zoonotic. Rodents, as the natural reservoirs of numerous diverse zoonotic viruses, pose a substantial threat to human health. To investigate the diversity of known and unknown viruses harbored by rodents in Guangdong (southern province of China), we conducted a comprehensive analysis of viral genomes through metagenomic sequencing of organs from 194 rodents.

Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is a significant public health problem in Hubei Province, China, where a novel strain of orthohantavirus, HV004, was reported in 2012. However, no systematic study has investigated the prevalence and variation of orthohantavirus in rodents and humans. Herein, 2137 small mammals were collected from ten HFRS epidemic areas in Hubei Province from 2012 to 2022, and 143 serum samples from patients with suspected hemorrhagic fever were collected from two hospitals from 2017 to 2021.
