Invasive Species Advisory Council Hantavirus Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is an infectious respiratory disease caused by hantavirus . The deer mouse is the primary host of the hantavirus in the United States, but other rodents, such as the cotton rat and white-footed mouse, may also carry the virus. Infected rodents shed the virus through urine, droppings, and saliva. Humans can contract HPS by inhaling particles infected with hantavirus. The primary risk of human exposure is rodent infestations in or around the home. Preventing contact with rodents is the best way to ensure you do not contract HPS. To prevent exposure to HPS, homes should be rodent-proofed by sealing entry holes, trapping mice and rats, and thoroughly cleaning rodent-infected areas. Taking the proper precautions while cleaning contaminated areas will prevent the spread of hantavirus. Latex gloves should be worn while cleaning any contaminated area. Do not stir up dust by vacuuming or sweeping the area. Instead, use a bleach solution (11/2 cups of bleach to 1 gallon water) to wet the contaminated areas. Remove contaminated items with a wet cloth or mop. Dead rodents should be disinfected, double-bagged, and buried, burned or disposed of in a proper waste disposal facility. After cleaning the contaminated area, disinfect gloves before removal. Thoroughly wash hands with soap and water. Early symptoms of HPS can occur 3-5 days after infection and include fever, fatigue and muscle aches. Other symptoms may include headaches, chills or abdominal discomfort. As the disease progresses, symptoms include coughing and shortness of breath, which is known as the "cardiopulmonary phase" of the disease, where the body reacts as the lungs start to fill up with fluid. From here, the disease progresses very rapidly; the shortness of breath leads to acute respiratory distress, often within 24 hours. The disease can be fatal so it is imperative to seek medical attention if you suspect a hantavirus infection.

Next Definition Hantavirus is a disease characterized by symptoms that resemble the flu , followed by respiratory failure. Alternative Names Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome 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. A 1993 outbreak of fatal respiratory illness on an Indian reservation in the Four Corners area led epidemiologists to the discovery of hantavirus as the cause. (The Four Corners area is at the border of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona.) Since that discovery, hantavirus disease has been reported in every western state, and in many eastern states. Hantavirus is carried by rodents, particularly deer mice, and is present in their urine and feces. The virus does not cause disease in the carrier animal. Humans are thought to become infected when they are exposed to contaminated dust from the nests or droppings of mice. The disease is not, however, passed between humans. Contaminated dust is often encountered when cleaning long-vacated dwellings, sheds, or other enclosed areas.

What are hantaviruses? Hantaviruses are a type of virus found in rodents in different parts of the world. In the U.S., human hantavirus infections were first identified in the southwest in 1993. In recent years, sporadic cases have been found in several eastern states including New York. Studies have shown that mice are often infected and appear to be the source of infection. Is this illness common to humans?

Hanta virus Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) Hanta pulmonary syndrome (HPS) Description. An acute, infectious, hemorrhagic virus. Hantaviruses are biologically unique members of the largest animal virus family, Bunyaviridae. They are enveloped, single-stranded, mostly negative-sense RNA viruses. Like other Bunyaviridae, hantaviruses have three genomic segments: large, medium, and small; and segment reassortment within a species appears common. They include three structural proteins: glycoproteins G1 and G2, and nucleoprotein N. Hantaviruses have much larger nucleocapsids than do other Bunyaviridae. They also display an unusual gridlike pattern on their surfaces, and often include elongated particles. Also in contrast to other Bunyaviridae, hantaviruses do not appear to have an arthropod vector. Instead, they cause persistent asymptomatic infections in their natural hosts (rodents), and each hantavirus is perpetuated in only its single or few specific genus or species of rodent. There are several distinct, regional hantaviruses:

ABSTRACT A first confirmed case of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) was reported in the urban area of Ho Chi Minh City � Viet Nam. The case was described elaborately through the report. The confirmed case involved a 25-year old female nurse working for Hospital 115 in Ho Chi Minh City who admitted to the same hospital after three days presenting fever, chills, nausea, back pain and hematuria. Subsequently, the patient was confirmed as the Seoul virus infection by neutralization test. Conspicuously, the result of the investigation in patient�s household and neighborhood area shows the presence of the same viral infectious type on the rodent culture. Linking the result from confirmed case and rodent investigation, the report implies a circulation of hantaviral infectious in population which has not got a considerable public concern yet.
