    Abstract In addition to classical virus isolation in cell culture, the molecular detection of new virus variants by PCR techniques allows broader epidemiological insights into the world of viral pathogens. For the detection of hantaviruses-zoonotic viruses leading to fever and organ failure in humans-we developed a genus-wide nested RT-PCR format, which enables the discovery of new members within this virus genus. The methodological approach allowed the demonstration of first hantaviruses from Africa and revealed new hantavirus reservoir hosts, as shrews, moles, and bats.

    Abstract Habitat loss and climate change are primary drivers of global biodiversity loss. Species will need to track changing environmental conditions through fragmented and transformed landscapes such as KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Landscape connectivity is an important tool for maintaining resilience to global change. We develop a coarse-grained connectivity map between protected areas to aid decision-making for implementing corridors to maintain floristic diversity in the face of global change. The spatial location of corridors was prioritised using a biological underpinning of floristic composition that incorporated high beta diversity regions, important plant areas, climate refugia, and aligned to major climatic gradients driving floristic pattern. We used Linkage Mapper to develop the connectivity network. The resistance layer was based on land-cover categories with natural areas discounted according to their contribution towards meeting the biological objectives. Three corridor maps were developed; a conservative option for meeting minimum corridor requirements, an optimal option for meeting a target amount of 50% of the landscape and an option including linkages in highly transformed areas. The importance of various protected areas and critical linkages in maintaining landscape connectivity are discussed, disconnected protected areas and pinch points identified where the loss of small areas could compromise landscape connectivity. This framework is suggested as a way to conserve floristic diversity into the future and is recommended as an approach for other global connectivity initiatives. A lack of implementation of corridors will lead to further habitat loss and fragmentation, resulting in further risk to plant diversity.

    Abstract Host reservoir specificity of pathogens is complex and may depend on receptor variability. For pathogenic orthohantaviruses, integrin β3 had been previously identified as entry receptor and the presence of aspartic acid residue at position 39 (D39) in human integrin β3 was described to be a prerequisite for infection of primate cells with Hantaan virus (HTNV). However, the role of integrin β3 in orthohantavirus infection of host animals is not completely understood. Therefore, we analyzed the nucleotide sequence of the integrin β3 gene of Myodes glareolus and Apodemus agrarius, the hosts of Puumala virus (PUUV) and HTNV, respectively. Sequence analysis in tissue samples demonstrated that the amino acid residue D39 is not present in integrin β3 of these natural orthohantavirus hosts. Furthermore, we analyzed the transcription and protein expression levels of integrin β3 in the renal cell line BVK168 generated from the PUUV host, bank vole. Transcription level of integrin β3 was 100-fold lower in BVK168 cells than in Vero E6 cells and integrin β3 expression was not detectable in BVK168 cells. However, despite the absence of amino acid residue D39 and no detectable integrin β3 expression, BVK168 cells are susceptible to infection with both PUUV and HTNV. These results indicate that the mechanism of orthohantaviral entry in rodent species does not correspond to the requirements that were described for the entry in primate cells in vitro.

    Abstract Background: Mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) is a guideline-recommended treatment option for patients with severe symptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR). Outcomes with the PASCAL system in a post-market setting have not been established.
    Objectives: The authors report 30-day and 1-year outcomes from the MiCLASP (Transcatheter Repair of Mitral Regurgitation with Edwards PASCAL Transcatheter Valve Repair System) European post-market clinical follow-up study.
    Methods: Patients with symptomatic, clinically significant MR were prospectively enrolled. The primary safety endpoint was clinical events committee-adjudicated 30-day composite major adverse event rate and the primary effectiveness endpoint was echocardiographic core laboratory-assessed MR severity at discharge compared with baseline. Clinical, echocardiographic, functional, and quality-of-life outcomes were assessed at 1 year.
    Results: A total of 544 patients were enrolled (59% functional MR, 30% degenerative MR). The 30-day composite major adverse event rate was 6.8%. MR reduction was significant from baseline to discharge and sustained at 1 year with 98% of patients achieving MR ≤2+ and 82.6% MR ≤1+ (all P < 0.001 vs baseline). One-year Kaplan-Meier estimate for survival was 87.3%, and freedom from heart failure hospitalization was 84.3%. Significant functional and quality-of-life improvements were observed at 1 year, including 71.6% in NYHA functional class I/II, 14.4-point increase in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire score, and 24.2-m improvement in 6-minute walk distance (all P < 0.001 vs baseline).
    Conclusions: One-year outcomes of this large cohort from the MiCLASP study demonstrate continued safety and effectiveness of M-TEER with the PASCAL system in a post-market setting. Results demonstrate high survival and freedom from heart failure hospitalization, significant and sustained MR reduction, and improvements in symptoms, functional capacity, and quality of life.
