Extractions: Although this "family" of viruses first came to the public’s attention in the early 1990’s after an outbreak of lethal pneumonia (Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome) in the Four-Corners area of the southwest, Hantaviruses are known to have been around since 1913 in Russia (hemorrhagic fever with renal failure) and in North America since 1959 (HPS). Since 1993, HPS has been reported in NY, LA, and FL. Rodents are the only known natural reservoir. The deer mouse, white-footed mouse, cotton rat and rice rat are the most common carriers. (It has not been found in the common house mouse.) At least one of these rodents can be found just about anywhere on the continental U.S. The virus is shed in their feces, urine, and saliva and is spread by aerosolization when these are dried and then stirred up. The virus can also be spread by a rodent bite, touching ones nose or mouth after first touching contaminated material, and possibly by consuming contaminated food. Experts do not believe that it is spread by human-to-human contact (i.e. kissing, intimacy, transfusions), insects or other animals. People have become infected even when they have not seen rodents or their droppings. When seen, the rodent carriers do not appear ill.

Mortality was in excess of 75%, with many deaths in previously healthy adults between 20 and 40 years of age. The cause was quickly shown to be a hantavirus by astute scientists at the CDC and NIH. Serological evidence at first showed that the disease might be caused by a hantavirus; this was confirmed by using PCR to compare nucleic acid sequences of the presumed etiologic agent with the sequences of known hantaviruses. Interest in the hantaviruses stems from the Korean War when (in 1951) U.N. troops in Korea came down with an illness characterized by high fever, severe headache, myalgia, vomiting, and hemorrhaging that ends in renal failure and death in 7% of cases. This disease was called hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS).

A Koreai Háború folyamán ez a vírus vérzést okozott, amit koreai vérzékeny láznak nevezték el. A vírust Hantaan vírusnak hívták a dél-koreai Han folyóról. Kb. 2500 amerikai katonát fertõzõtt meg és 5-10%-ot ölt meg belõlük. A jövõben lehetséges, hogy biológiai fegyverként vetik be.

Extractions: Hantavirus Hantavirus es el nombre que reciben los virus del género Hantaanvirus, que forma parte de la familia Bunyaviridae infectan a los vertebrados (animales con columna vertebral, incluido el hombre). A diferencia de casi todos los miembros de esta familia, que son transportados por mosquitos, chinches y pulgas, los hantavirus utilizan como vectores roedores específicos y se transmiten directamente de hospedante a hospedante por medio de la saliva, la orina o las heces cargadas de virus. El hombre se contagia por exposición a las excreciones secas de roedores infectados. Causan dos enfermedades humanas: fiebre hemorrágica con síndrome renal, que normalmente cursa con lesiones renales; y síndrome de malestar respiratorio agudo, que cursa con lesiones pulmonares. Los hantavirus son esféricos, de 90 a 100 nanómetros de diámetro. Están formados por una cápsula cubierta de púas que rodea tres unidades circulares de ácido ribonucleico (ARN) envueltas en proteína. Aunque recientemente se han identificado muchos hantavirus, su verdadero número y el potencial patológico que presentan son probablemente muy superiores a lo que ahora se cree.

Extractions: Reduce Your Risk Late spring and early summer are the prime seasons for hantavirus, which causes hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). The virus, carried by deer mice, is passed to people as they begin spring cleaning and outdoor activities like camping and hiking. Last year, there was one reported case of HPS in Rhode Island. The virus lives in mouse urine, feces and saliva, and is transmitted when people stir up these and then breathe traces of them in the air. It also may be possible to get HPS by touching objects that have traces of infected body fluids on them and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth, or eating food that is contaminated. In rare cases, people bitten by infected mice have developed the disease. People who have the disease cant infect other people. HPS is a fast-moving disease. Although symptoms may not develop for 1-5 weeks, once they do, patients usually require hospitalization within 24 hours. Almost half of all cases result in death. Symptoms include: If you have symptoms and think you may have HPS, contact your physician immediately. The earlier you receive treatment, the better the chances are for survival. Remember to tell your doctor you may have had contact with mice or mice byproducts.

http://asthma.about.com/library/weekly/aa101600a.htm

Extractions: Advertisement In 1993 in the Four Corners area of the southwest United States previously young healthy adults were dying suddenly and painfully. The victims quickly developed acute Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and only about 50% survived. Through some amazing detective work by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and local health officials the cause was tracked to a mouse borne virus known as Hantavirus. Hantaviruses have been known to medical science since the 1950s when troups fighting in the Korean War became infected. The virus was named for the Hantaan River which flows through Korea. This particular virus and others found in Asia and Europe cause hemorrhagic fever with renal failure. The symptoms include shock, bleeding, fluid in the lungs, and abnormal liver function. The death rate with these hantaviruses is about 10%. The hantavirus found in the United States is quite different. Several variations of the U.S. hantavirus have been identified include some in Florida, Louisiana, and New York. These viruses all cause the same type of disease as the virus discovered in the Four Corners area. The name of the disease caused by the American variety of hantavirus is called Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS).

Extractions: Subscribe now >> What is hantavirus? Hantavirus is the name of a family of related viruses that have virtually a worldwide distribution. Who gets hantavirus infection? Anyone can become infected with hantavirus, but persons who have exposure to rodents or to rodent-infested areas are at highest risk of the infection. Is hantavirus infection a new disease? No. Outbreaks of disease compatible with certain types of hantavirus infection have been described in Europe and Asia since the 1930's. However, in the United States, there were no reports of acute disease associated with hantavirus prior to 1993. In the spring of that year, an outbreak of severe respiratory disease caused by a newly recognized strain of hantavirus occurred in the southwestern USA. It is now apparent that illnesses due to this strain occurred before the 1993 outbreak but were not recognized. How is hantavirus infection acquired?

http://www.ehs.berkeley.edu/pubs/factsheets/26hps.html

Extractions: Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is a potentially fatal viral infection carried principally by deer mice, but also found in other rodents. There have been over 322 known cases of HPS in the United States as of June 2002 with almost 40 percent resulting in death. However, the survival rate is greatly improved when proper diagnosis and medical support are rapidly obtained. The disease is relatively difficult to get and easy to avoid by taking the necessary precautions. In California, many hantavirus cases have occurred in the central Sierra Nevada. Symptoms of HPS begin to manifest themselves one to five weeks after exposure to the virus. Similar to those of the flu, early symptoms include fatigue, fever, and muscle aches. About half of the HPS patients also experience headaches, dizziness, chills, and/or abdominal problems. Four to ten days after the onset of the early symptoms, the infected person experiences coughing and shortness of breath as the lungs fill with fluid. Without immediate medical attention, the victim may die. Deer mice are the primary carriers of the hantavirus that causes HPS. They inhabit wildland areas throughout the United States except in the southeast. Deer mice live in human-occupied buildings when available or when conditions in the wild become difficult. They live side by side with other types of wild mice and are difficult to distinguish from them.

Only on remote Santa Barbara and Anacapa Islands was the virus not found. This virus is similar to the Four Corners strain and has been found in greater concentrations on the Channel Islands than at any other location.
