Hantaviruses may cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) or haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). Each hantavirus serotype has a specific rodent host species and is spread to people via an aerosolized virus that is shed in urine, feces, and saliva, and less frequently by a bite from an infected host. HPS is a severe and fatal, respiratory disease in humans caused by infection with hantaviruses. In humans, the mortality rates vary from 12% (HFRS) to 40% (HCPS). Both diseases are acute febrile infections, usually acquired through inhalation of aerosols or dust particles contaminated with virus-containing rodent excreta. HFRS is characterized by renal failure and haemorrhagic manifestations that vary from petechiae to severe internal bleeding. Pneumonia and cardiovascular dysfun...
