Active and recent clusters

  • Russia · Volga / Bashkortostan — 6000 cases, 24 deaths (CFR 0.4%) · Annual pattern; Rospotrebnadzor. Russia reports several thousand confirmed HFRS cases annually, dominated by Puumala virus in the Volga region (Bashkortostan being a notable focus) and Dobrava-Belgrade in the south.
  • Slovenia · Karst / Sava valley — 100 cases, 5 deaths (CFR 5%) · Annual pattern; NIJZ. Slovenia consistently reports 50–200 HFRS cases per year — high per-capita incidence. Mixed Dobrava (more severe) and Puumala epidemiology. Outbreak years aligned with neighbouring Balkan reservoirs.

Frequently asked

What does Dobrava virus cause?

Dobrava virus causes hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) with case fatality around 8%. The kidneys are the primary affected organ.

Is Dobrava virus contagious between people?

No documented person-to-person transmission. Dobrava virus spreads via inhalation of aerosolized rodent excreta from its reservoir, Apodemus flavicollis (yellow-necked mouse).

Where does Dobrava virus circulate?

Dobrava virus circulates primarily in Balkans. Its main reservoir is Apodemus flavicollis (yellow-necked mouse).
