title: Short report: dual infections with Puumala virus and Leptospira interrogans serovar lora in a bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus).
abstract: Leptospirosis and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome are public health problems in Croatia. Diagnosis and epidemiology of these diseases are complicated because these two diseases are sympatric in certain areas. We describe a natural dual infection of Puumala virus and a leptospire in a bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus).
