The location is a Road Department substation and residence for employees. The liability to Washoe County was felt to be great, so many hundreds of hours and many thousands of dollars were spent in refurbishing the site and in rodent control. Table 1.

   Extractions: HANTAVIRUS What is Hantavirus? What are the symptoms of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome? Symptoms develop in one to six weeks after exposure to aerosolized virus. The first symptoms are fever, chills, muscle aches, and sometimes nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. The muscle aches are often severe, and occur in the thighs, hips, back and sometimes the shoulder. Some patients will develop coughing and shortness of breath within a few days. Others may go for as long as a week with the other symptoms before developing a cough and shortness of breath, followed by the abrupt onset of respiratory distress, often severe and fatal. Extremely low blood pressure usually accompanies severe cases of HPS. Mortality is about 40 to 50 percent of people who get HPS disease.

   Extractions: Web posted at: 10:26 p.m. EDT (0226 GMT) From Correspondent Jennifer Auther ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (CNN) The hantavirus is one of the deadliest viruses known. While there is no cure or specific treatment for the infection, there is one machine that seems to save lives. One week before she was hooked up to a life-saving medical device, Annie Merrian, 18, was cleaning a cabin in southwestern Colorado. Within days, she was drowning in serum from her own blood. With definitive tests pending, doctors at the University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque were all but sure she had contracted the potentially deadly hantavirus. But they needed to buy time. "We do believe the ECMO can save critically ill patients with heart and lung failure from hantavirus," said the hospital's Dr. Mark Crowley.

    http://www.hantavirus.net/info3.html
    
    Extractions: How can I prevent HPS? First and foremost, prevent contact with rodents. Keep rodents out of your house, garage, toolshed ... anyplace you can. According to epidemiology statistics, the greatest risk of contracting HPS comes with having increased numbers of rodents in the household. In all likelihood, you will not be able to completely eliminate rodents from your residence; your goal will be to reduce the population as much as possible. How can I reduce my domestic rodent population? If you are trying to keep your peridomestic rodent population down, you must do two fundamental things: (1) Remove their food source, and (2) remove their shelter. Here are some specific tips for making your residence an unattractive place for rodents: Keep your dwelling clean. Always store or dispose of your food, including uneaten pet food. Keep your garbage cans tighly sealed.

    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: What is Hantavirus? Hantavirus is a virus that is found in the urine, saliva, or droppings of infected deer mice and some other wild rodents. It causes a rare but serious lung disease called Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). How can Hantavirus enter my body? People can contract the Hantavirus infection through inhalation of respirable droplets of saliva or urine, or through the dust of feces from infected wild rodents, especially the deer mouse. Transmission can also occur when contaminated material gets into broken skin, or possibly, ingested in contaminated food or water. Person-to-person transmission in North America has not been reported. A recent outbreak of 18 cases of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in South America strongly suggests person-to-person transmission. However, the viruses isolated in South America are genetically distinct from those described in North America. How does Hantavirus affect my health?

    Serendipity, Science, and a New hantavirus. by Sylvia Wrobel Redbrown stainingof antigens in the lung tissue from a hantavirus pulmonary syndrome patient.  
    http://www.faseb.org/opar/hanta.html
    
    Extractions: Reprinted from The FASEB Journal , Vol. 9, October 1995. This essay follows a team of scientific investigators step by intriguing step as it pursues the cause of the mysterious 1993 deaths of healthy young adults in the southwestern United States. Using the science of the day, the team unravels the elusive origin of a potentially widespread killer- - tracking a new hantavirus to its home, tracing its lineage, and differentiating its DNA from the large hantavirus family. This is the first in a series. It took months to find the unknown bacteria that struck down Legionnaires gathered for a meeting in a pleasant hotel, years to find the unknown virus causing AIDS. Yet when healthy young people began dying in the Four Corners area of the American Southwest in 1993, from a cause not known, in an epidemic whose potential scope could only be guessed, pieces of the puzzle fell into place in 4 weeks. They were dying because of a previously unrecognized form of an old and unlikely virus, carried by the sweet- faced, big- eared deer mice that thrive in virtually all parts of North America. The new hantavirus appeared not to harm the deer mice, but once excreted it dried, became aerosolized, and simply lay there, where it could be breathed by any humans who unknowingly disturbed the contaminated dust. Within weeks scientists knew where this new virus lived, its lineage, how its DNA differed from various cousins in the large hantavirus clan, and how it worked. Within 6 months they were able to culture and grow the virus itself and create diagnostic tests.

    Extractions: You are here: DOH Home Topics A-Z » Hantavirus Search Employees What is hantavirus? It is a virus that causes Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS), a form of adult respiratory disease syndrome. HPS was first reported in the United States in the spring of 1993. As of November 2001, 288 cases had been reported in the U.S. About 38 percent of the people died as a result of the infection. Have hantavirus cases occurred in Washington? Twenty-four HPS cases have been reported in Washington. Three cases have been reported in Lewis and Grant counties and two each in Lincoln, Stevens, Adams, Franklin, Klickitat, King, Snohomish, and Yakima counties. San Juan and Pierce counties have had one case each. What are the symptoms of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome? Symptoms usually begin one to three weeks after exposure to infected deer mice. HPS is characterized by fever, chills and muscle aches, followed by the abrupt onset of respiratory distress and shortness of breath. The muscle aches are severe, involving the thighs, hips, back and sometimes the shoulder. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Where is hantavirus found and how common is it?

Although the disease has been around for a long time, it was first identified during the Korean War in the early 1950s when about 3,000 United States and United Nations forces were infected. This elusive virus was named Hantaan in recognition of the Hantaan River which flows through Korea. A similar, though more virulent, virus gripped America in May 1993 when several young, basically healthy, adult Navajo Indians died mysteriously in the Four Corners region of the United States. By the end of October 1995, there were 119 confirmed cases attributed to hantavirus. In about 50 percent of those cases, the victims died. Three of those deaths were in Montana. The diseases that are caused by the hantatype virus are also found throughout Europe and other parts of Asia. However, they do not appear to be as deadly as those found in the United States. Between 100,000 and 200,000 people are affected worldwide each year.

    Extractions: INTERNET INFORMATION CENTER A strain of Hantavirus has been identified in mouse populations on Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, and San Miguel Islands in Channel Islands National Park. 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. Up to 70 % of the mice tested carried the Hantavirus, yet here have been no reported human illnesses from contact on the islands. When the testing was performed in 1994 and the strain found, further tests were performed including testing of long term island residents and employees. There were no humans identified who tested positive for contact. Hantavirus (Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome) causes flu-like symptoms: fever, fatigue, muscle aches, cough, headaches, and vomiting. followed by rapid onset of respiratory distress 12 hours to several days later. The disease is spread through contact (aerosol or skin) with urine, feces, or nesting materials of rodents, or through contaminated food or water. This is a life-threatening illness.
