Abstract

Chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) has emerged in endemic areas of Sri Lanka since the 1990s. The disease is a chronic but fatal disease. Until now, heavy metals and agrochemicals have been suspected as the cause of CKDu, but it has been still unknown. Recently, we have found a high seroprevalence to hantavirus in CKDu patients and reported that hantavirus infection is a risk of CKDu. Hantaviruses are rodent-borne zoonotic viruses. Here, I would like to introduce a story of the research from sero-epidemiology to the search for host animals.
