  Hantavirus infections in Finland
Puumala virus infection is usually suspected on the basis of clinical features,but the diagnosis should be confirmed serologically (2).
Puumala virus was detected in one in three lung specimens fromvoles analysed in the autumn of 1994 from Central Finland.
The seasonal andgeographical patterns reflect the epidemiology of the infection in the bankvole population and the interaction of humans with this animal vector.Monitoring of the vole populations by the Forest Research Institute enablesepidemics to be predicted.

 Puumalan kunta
A couple of years ago Puumala was chosen the most beautiful municipality on Saimaa Lake District.
Puumala's 3000 km of shoreline and real archipelago with over 1000 islands attract summer residents, boaters as well as other holidaymakers to their summer paradise to enjoy the sparkling blue waters, peaceful country life and genuinely friendly services of the active little village.
Puumala´s location on the Saimaa waterway halfway between Savonlinna and Lappeenranta provides a pleasant stopover with comfortable marina services for boaters.

 Patterns of Puumala virus infection in Finland
Puumala hantavirus infection is prevalent throughout most of Europe, and in endemic areas it may be the most common cause of acute renal failure.
Puumala hantavirus infection (nephropathia epidemica) causes a mild form of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (1—5), and is prevalent throughout Europe, particularly in Finland and Scandinavia.
Puumala virus is transmitted to humans by inhalation of aerosolised excreta of the bank vole Clethrionomys glareolus, which is the reservoir and vector.

 Distribution av Puumala virus in Sweden
Puumala virus, som orsakar nephropathia epidemica, förekommer i norra och centrala Europa och i Ryssland väster om Uralbergen.
För att studera distributionen av Puumala virus antikroppar bland sork inom ett mindre endemiskt område fångades sork i närheten av fyra hushåll som nyligen drabbats av nephropathia epidemica och i fyra kontrollområden 10 km därifrån.
Ytterligare steg togs mot förfinade diagnostiska och epidemiologiska metoder, när ett humanisolat av Puumala virus för första gången isolerades i Skandinavien.

Veli-Matti Puumala (born 18 July 1965) established himself as one of Finland's most talented composers during the 1990s.
Puumala has composed a wealth of ensemble and chamber works, such as Soira (1996) for accordion and 7 players, Umstrichen vom Schreienden (1997-98) for six cellos, Capriccio (2002) for 2 violins, 2 violas and 2 cellos and the highly-acclaimed String Quartet (1994), which represents a turning point in his stylistic and technical approach.
He exploits to the full the potential of the expressive means available in a refined and energetic way and is known to be a composer who has valued the ideals of Modernism throughout his career.

 InVS : La fièvre hémorragique avec syndrome rénal en France
La fièvre hémorragique avec syndrome rénal est une maladie due à l'infection par des virus de la famille des Hantavirus (essentiellement le virus Puumala en France).
L'hôte naturel du virus Puumala, responsable de la très grande majorité des fièvres hémorragiques avec syndrome rénal en France, est le campagnol roussâtre, qui vit dans les forêts ainsi que parfois, dans les bâtiments avoisinants.
Dans les zones connues de fièvre hémorragique avec syndrome rénal, un certain nombre de précautions, faciles à mettre en œuvre, permettent de réduire considérablement le risque d'être infecté par le virus Puumala.
