Colorado.gov Advanced Search Disease Control and Environmental Epidemiology Division Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome Deer Mouse ( Peromyscus maniculatus In May 1993, an outbreak of an unexplained pulmonary illness occurred in the southwestern United States, in an area shared by Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah known as "The Four Corners." A number of previously healthy young adults suddenly developed acute respiratory symptoms; about half died. Researchers soon suspected that they were dealing with a form of hantavirus, which is transmitted by rodents. Investigating the possible rodent connection, researchers trapped rodents in the affected area until the virus and its principal carrier — the deer mouse — were positively identified. By November 1993, the specific virus that caused the Four Corners outbreak was isolated. The new virus was called Sin Nombre virus and the new disease caused by the virus was named hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, or HPS. Hantavirus is present in the saliva, urine, and feces of infected mice. People are infected by breathing in the virus during direct contact with rodents or from disturbing dust and feces from mice nests or surfaces contaminated with mice droppings or urine.

Animal laboratory workers and persons working in infested buildings are at increased risk to this disease, particularly during dusty clean-up activities.

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is a severe illness caused by infection with the Sin Nombre virus. Humans become infected from exposure to the droppings of wild rodents that carry the virus. In Washington State, the deer mouse ( Peromyscus maniculatus ) is the main carrier of hantavirus. About 1- 5 hantavirus cases are reported each year in Washington State and about one third of the cases have been fatal. In other parts of the U.S. and in other parts of the world, other rodents also carry hantaviruses. What are the symptoms? Symptoms develop between approximately one week and six weeks after exposure to mouse droppings that are contaminated with the virus. Early symptoms are fever, chills, weakness, and muscle aches. The muscle aches are often severe and can involve the thighs, hips, back and shoulders.

HANTAVIRUSES What are hantaviruses? Hantaviruses are a group of viruses found in wild rodents. While they do not produce disease in these rodent hosts, hantaviruses can cause illness in humans. The viruses are so named because they were first isolated in the laboratory from striped field mice captured near Korea's Hantaan River. For many years, hantaviruses have been known to cause illnesses in other areas of the world (Europe and Asia). In 1993, a previously unknown species of the virus, which causes an illness different from other known hantavirus infections, was identified in the southwestern United States. Since that outbreak, the virus has been identified in more than half the states in the U. S. One case and death due to hantavirus was reported in Illinois 1996 and another case reported in 2005 survived. How is a person infected with a hantavirus? Humans contract a hantavirus infection by breathing dust contaminated by the urine, saliva or feces of an infected rodent. Infection also may occur if contaminated material or dust gets into broken skin or a mucous membrane, such as the eye. Ingesting food or water tainted by an infected rodent may cause illness, too. Hantaviruses also can be transmitted by the bite of an infected rodent. Person-to-person transmission has not been demonstrated in the United States. What are the symptoms?

FAQs - Quick links: Today's Federal Register - Contact Info: EPA State agencies OSHA DOT Regs: Search Government regs and sites Hantavirus: An Introduction Small But Deadly H antavirus P ulmonary S yndrome (HPS) has been recognized as a disease only recently in North America. So far, it's also fairly uncommon and the chances of becoming infected are low. However, HPS is potentially deadly and immediate intensive care is essential once symptoms appear. The Mouse That Roared Hantaviruses that cause HPS are carried by rodents, especially the deer mouse. You can become infected by exposure to their droppings, and the flu-like first signs of sickness (especially fever and muscle aches) appear one to six weeks later, followed by shortness of breath and coughing. Once this phase begins, the disease progresses rapidly, necessitating hospitalization and often ventilation within 24 hours. Prevention is the best strategy, and it simply means taking some very practical steps to minimize your contact with rodents. HPS is not contagious from person-to-person in the United States

Hantavirus Definition Hantavirus is a disease spread by rodents that is similar to the flu Causes, incidence, and risk factors Hantavirus has probably caused people to get sick for years in the United States, but it was not recognized until recently. In 1993 there was an outbreak of fatal respiratory illness on an Indian reservation at the border of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. Researchers discovered that hantavirus caused the epidemic. Since that discovery, hantavirus disease has been reported in every western state, and in many eastern states. Hantavirus is carried by rodents, especially deer mice. The virus is in their urine and feces, but it does not make the carrier animal sick. Humans are thought to become infected when they are exposed to contaminated dust from mice nests or droppings. The disease is not passed between humans. People may encounter contaminated dust when cleaning long-empty homes, sheds, or other enclosed areas. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that rodents carrying hantavirus have been found in at least twenty national parks. The CDC says it is possible that the virus is in all of the parks. The CDC suspects that campers and hikers may be more likely to catch the disease than most people. This is because they pitch tents on the forest floor and lay their sleeping bags down in musty cabins.
