Climate change does not just affect the climate in a direct sense; it transforms entire ecosystems, altering the habitats of disease vectors like rodents, changing patterns of disease transmission, and raising the risk of zoonotic infections like Hantavirus. Addressing climate change, deforestation, and unsustainable agricultural practices is ...
While several species are responsible for Hantavirus hemorrhagic fever syndrome (HFS) and Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), each species of hantavirus is unique to a single reservoir. This makes host evolution and geography important factors in understanding transmission and prevention of spread of disease to humans. [6]

Orthohantavirus is a genus of viruses that includes all hantaviruses (family Hantaviridae) that cause disease in humans. Orthohantaviruses, hereafter referred to as hantaviruses, are naturally found primarily in rodents. In general, each hantavirus is carried by one rodent species and each rodent that carries a hantavirus carries one hantavirus ...
Arizona public health officials are warning that hantavirus, a virus spread by rodents to humans, is causing an increase in a potentially fatal lung syndrome. Arizona officials warning about ...
Between 1975 and 2023, cases of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome peaked throughout New Mexico in April, May, June and July. As hantavirus 'season' looms, state health officials urge residents to take ...
The 1993 Four Corners hantavirus outbreak was an outbreak of hantavirus disease that occurred in the Four Corners region of the US states in Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico. The outbreak marked the discovery of hantaviruses in the Western Hemisphere that could cause disease and revealed the existence of a novel type of disease caused by ...
Hantaan virus (HTNV) is the main cause of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in East Asia. Hantaan virus is transmitted by the striped field mouse (Apodemus agrarius) In its natural reservoir, HTNV causes a persistent, asymptomatic infection and is spread through excretions, fighting, and grooming.
