Bornavirus in Brandenburg: Warning clinics, hygiene measures necessary!

In Südbrandenburg, the hospitals are prepared for the Bornavirus, which can cause serious and often even fatal hiring inflammation. The virus is transmitted by the Feldspitzmaus, which is widespread in the region. While no cases are currently known in South Brandenburg, clinics show maximum vigilance. Doctors advise you to avoid contact with this mouse type and pay attention to strict hygiene measures. This is particularly important because the symptoms of the disease - from headaches to fever to neurological abnormalities - can result in serious consequences. In order to minimize the spread of the virus, it is recommended not to maintain any contact with these animals or even to open up food sources for them.

As documented by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), there are confirmed infections in other federal states, including Saxony-Anhalt, where a woman from the Anhalt-Bitterfeld district is not available due to her illness. Here the Borna Disease Virus 1 has already led to severe courses. Doctors warn of the potential dangers that exist in rural areas, where the habitats of the Feldspitzmaus have an increased risk for the population.
