SharePoint (login required) Guidelines for Handling Animal Reservoirs of Hantavirus: Field Practices in Arizona Rodents are known reservoirs of hantaviruses, and other small mammals can be infected as well. In Arizona, deer mice ( Peromyscus spp. ) are the implicated reservoir for a strain of hantavirus pathogenic to humans. Deer mice are common throughout the state. Although current evidence indicates that the rodents harboring hantavirus are most prevalent in rural settings, suburban or urban areas cannot be excluded as potentially affected. These guidelines apply to handling Peromyscus Exposure is believed to result from inhalation, inoculation into broken skin, and biting. Persons have been infected after only a few minutes exposure to laboratory rodents infected with a similar virus. People who frequently handle or are exposed to rodents (e.g., mammalogists, field biologists, pest-control workers) are at higher risk for hantavirus infection than the general public because of their frequency of exposure. The likelihood of infection with hantavirus is low, but the fatality rate for the Muerto Canyon (NM) strain is high (approximately 60%) and diagnosis and treatment can be difficult. Therefore, enhanced precautions are warranted to protect against infection. It is the responsibility of each worker and the supervisor to ensure that appropriate protective measures are used.

Hantaviruses live in rodents such as rats and mice without causing any symptoms. Urine, faeces or saliva fromt he rodents can transmit the viruses to humans. The five different kinds of hantaviruses discovered so far are found in different geographical regions and in different kinds of rodents. Hantavirus is the causative agent of two serious diseases: hantaan virus causes HFRS while Sin Nombre, another hantavirus, causes severe cases of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS). (sources :

Hantavirus is a potentially deadly disease caused by a virus carried by rodents. Hantavirus can cause Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) which causes the lungs to fill with fluid and can cause respiratory failure. The hantavirus was first detected in 1993 in the Four Corners area of the southwestern United States. Since 1993, approximately 400 cases have been reported in the United States. South Dakota has reported a total of 13 cases of HPS since 1993, 69% of which have been East River and 31% West River. Who gets hantavirus infection? You can be young or old, male or female, any race, living almost anywhere to be exposed to the hantavirus. Anything that puts you in contact with rodent droppings, urine, or nesting materials is a risk for HPS. What are the symptoms of hantavirus infection?

This guideline and other information is available from their website at: www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/hanta/hps/index.htm For information about HPS in Washington State see the Department of Health communicable disease website. Some General Precautions Don't dry sweep suspected contaminated areas without using a respirator. Don't shake out contaminated clothing. Soak contaminated materials in disinfectant before handling. Take steps to prevent rodents from entering buildings. Use gloves when handling all rodent carcasses and contaminated materials. Refer to CDC guidelines for a comprehensive list. Notify employer if rodent nests or droppings are spotted in the workplace. Occupational Exposure to hantavirus pulmonary syndrome - what it means to you Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a serious, often deadly, respiratory disease passed to humans by exposure to infected rodents. Twenty-two Washington residents are known to have been stricken by the disease since it was first identified in 1994. It proved fatal for eight of them. Although most of the cases weren't clearly related to workplace activities, one 1996 case a fatality was linked to workplace exposure.

H antavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) was first recognized during the spring of 1993 after a cluster of young, previously healthy individuals who lived in the southwestern United States acquired an acute, fatal cardiopulmonary illness. The early nonspecific symptoms of these patients uniformly resembled those of other more frequently seen benign viral infections, so the severity of these infections was not initially suspected. However, the febrile prodrome was followed by rapid, diffuse, noncardiogenic pulmonary edema and hemodynamic compromise resulting in an initial case fatality rate of 76 percent. The etiologic agent was subsequently determined to be a previously unrecognized hantavirus, Sin Nombre virus (SNV), and is now known to be the predominant cause of HPS in the United States.

Hantaviruses are deadly to humans, but do not cause illness in rats that carry the virus. According to the researchers, hantaviruses modulate the rat’s immune system T cells, which then regulate proteins that enable the virus to persist within the rat. The study is published in the September 25 issue of PNAS “Hantaviruses can exploit regulatory systems in their rodent hosts to maintain persistent infection” said the study’s lead author, Judith Easterbrook, a graduate student in the Bloomberg School’s

More than 3,000 cases of infections caused by hantaviruses have been reported so far in Russian cities and towns, including many that are within a few hundred miles of Moscow, such as Voronezh and Lipetsk. The viruses can cause a serious, and sometimes deadly, disease known as hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, or HFRS.

It is caused by the Sin Nombre Virus, one of a family of viruses that are found worldwide. It can be transmitted by infected rodents through urine, droppings, or saliva. Humans can contract the disease when they breathe in aerosolized virus. HPS was first recognized in 1993 and has since been identified throughout the United States. Although rare, HPS is potentially deadly. Rodent control in and around the home remains the primary strategy for preventing hantavirus infection.

60. Hantavirus.paper hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) has emerged as a new infectious disease in the United States. Although it is still very rare with only around 160 cases http://www.stanford.edu/~siegelr/uda.html

The History of the Southwest Outbreak Peromyscus maniculatus (5). Hantavirus sequences amplified in 6 of the Ab positive mice were found to be closely related to sequences from 3 human cases, providing a direct genetic link between the rodents and the infected humans (6). By testing serum samples of people from the outbreak area in 1991 and 1992 for hantavirus Ab, seroprevalence was found to be 1% (3 /270) which further supported an etiological role for hantavirus as the causal infectious agent in the outbreak (5). By July cases were identified outside of the outbreak area in Nevada and Texas (7). In August two cases were confirmed in California and one Louisiana who had a hantavirus distinct from the four-corners virus (8) By December 1994, 108 cases of HPS from 21 states were confirmed, 56% of which were from the four corners area (20). Clinical Aspects of HPS SNV and Its Hosts bunyaviridae viruses which are primarily transmitted via anthropod vectors, hantaviruses primary reservoirs are rodents which are persistently infected, shedding virus without clinically apparent symptoms. The most common worldwide hantavirus is the Seoul virus whose host is the Norwegian rat. Europe has the Puumala virus carried by the black vole, while in Asia the stripped field mouse serves as the reservoir for the Hantaan virus (17). These hantaviruses all clinically manifest as hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) with Hantaan being the most severe and Puumala the mildest form. HFRS is a clinically distinct disease from HPS attacking the kidneys instead of the lungs. Otherwise, the viruses have similar epidemiologies and transmission routes. Early responses and prevention strategies to SNV relied on findings on Seoul, Puumala and Hantaan hantaviruses.
