Extractions: Hanta virus Alert in South America Southern Cone Reports of frequently fatal diseases relating to the Hanta virus have been making front-page news in Chile and Argentina, and travelers should be aware of appropriate precautions in certain areas where activities could bring a visitor into contact with vector rodents. There are two principal diseases associated with the various strains of the virus: one pulmonary (including pulmonary edema) called Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) which is prevalent in cases in the United States, the other called Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS) involving kidney failure, hemorrhage, and shock effects. Mortality in people has been reported at about 50 - 60% in cases reported in the southern cone, and up to 80% in the United States. In Argentina, over 70 cases of Hanta virus syndrome have been reported as diagnosed since 1987, when positive identification was made practical, although some sources indicate that the actual number may be closer to 200. (Note that in 1993 alone there were reportedly about 150 cases of Hanta virus syndrome in the US Four Corners areas, although the United States Center for Disease Control lists fewer than 100 cases). In Chile only 23 reports of Hanta virus-related illnesses had been reported as of September 1997, with 14 fatalities. Argentine health authorities have identified the following trekker huts (refugios) and rural or wilderness areas as being potentially infected or where precautions are recommended:

Summary :The appearance of epidemic cases of Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, affection that was known already in the Argentine Repúblic, has as connotation the fact that it is in our country for the first time where it is demonstrated the interhuman infection of this illness . Key words : Hantavirus, Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, Hantavirus transmission. Si bien la definición del Síndrome Pulmonar por Hantavirus (HPS) reconoce su existencia desde la comunicación del 14 de mayo de 1993 , cuando se notifica al Departamento de Salud de Nueva México de la muerte de 3 pacientes con patología pulmonar sin diagnóstico etiológico, en una región de EEUU conocida como "FOUR CORNERS", lugar donde se unen las fronteras de los cuatro estados de Utah, Arizona, Nueva México y Colorado, ya existían en ese momento sospechas de la presencia de cuadros clínicos de parecida evolución. La inmediata puesta en marcha de una conferencia entre los médicos tratantes y las autoridades federales de la salud hicieron posible analizar los datos clínicos comunes entre sí, que incluían pródromos, como fiebre, escalofríos y mialgias, seguidos luego por disnea, tos, trombocitopenia, severa inestabilidad hemodinámica, neutrofilia con formas inmaduras circulantes, aparición de linfocitos atípicos en sangre periférica, dehidrogenasa láctica elevada.

Extractions: Hantavirus Click to Play Video Ebola and Marburg are swift viral killers. You thought you were safe in the United States. However, in the past several years, there have been reports of an epidemic caused by a strain of the hantavirus known as the "Four Corners virus," named for the region where the outbreak occurred. Although rodents are the natural reservoir for the hantavirus, some humans have inadvertently become infected in areas where contact with infected rodent fecal matter has increased. The virus causes hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HSP), which leads to acute respiratory failure. The fatality rate, as of 1998, was 44% of the 185 documented cases nationwide. There is no known cure. The accompanying CNN clip gives a brief synopsis of events in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where several cases of hantavirus infection appeared in the early 1990s. Scientists discovered that the viral vectors were the deer mouse and cotton rat. The hantavirus spread to people when they inhaled the virus contained in mouse feces. The video clip presents preventative measures to minimize contact with these rodents.

http://www.gov.nf.ca/agric/pubfact/Hantavirus.htm

Extractions: Hantaviruses are a group of viruses recently identified in North America as being a risk for human health. The importance of these viruses and the facts on their presence in Newfoundland are discussed. First identified in the southwestern US In 1993, a new respiratory illness in humans, called Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS), was described in the southwestern US (Four Corners Region). Though not a new disease it was only at that time that the actual virus that caused the disease was identified. At first it was thought to be only associated with hot, dry areas though since then it has been found in other areas as well. Strains of the Virus There are different strains of hantavirus that can cause human illness. The most common one is called Sin Nombre virus but another strain that is also found in Canada is called Monongahela virus. Spread by rodents In different parts of North America different rodents may be responsible for the spread of this disease. In Canada, the most important one is the deer mouse ( Peromyscus maniculatus

Comments: There is one recognised group within the genus Hantavirus (at least 6 viruses), plus a large number of isolates not yet assigned to an antigenic complex. Serologically unrelated to members of other genera. Probably no arthropod vector involved in transmission. Virus infects vertebrates. Description is on taxonomic level of genus.

http://ehs.ucdavis.edu/animal/health/hantavirus.html

Extractions: Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is a respiratory disease caused by a virus known as Sin Nombre Virus . The virus is carried by wild rodents, especially deer mice. The virus produces no clinical signs in the deer mice, but can produce a deadly infection in man - over 50% of human cases have been fatal. Sin Nombre belongs a family of viruses known as Hantaviruses. Deer mice (genus Peromyscus) and other wild rodents can carry the virus without ill effect and can shed the virus in their urine, feces, and saliva. Sin Nombre virus is not associated with laboratory mice or with ordinary house mice or laboratory mice (genus Mus). Deer mice, in general, inhabit wild areas and rural rather than urban or suburban areas; you wont find them in your kitchen in a city, but you might in a mountain cabin. Humans become infected with the hantavirus when they inhale dust which has been contaminated with rodent urine. Most individuals who have become infected have lived or worked in areas that were heavily contaminated with rodent droppings. Campgrounds, abandoned cabins, and other areas that have become infested with high populations of wild rodents should be considered risky. Digging up a rodent nest, trapping wild rodents or performing necropsies on wild rodents would also be considered risky activities. If a human being becomes infected, signs of illness usually appear about two weeks after exposure, although the time can range from a few days to as long as six weeks. The first signs are fever, headache, and pain in the abdomen, joints, and back. Afterwards the patients lungs begin to fill with fluid and breathing becomes extremely difficult. A high proportion of the patients die, but early treatment offers the best chance of survival.
Questions And Answers About Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome

http://www.granthealth.org/hantagchd.htm

Extractions: July 1998 Grant County Health District What is hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (also known as HPS)? Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is a serious, often deadly, respiratory disease that has been found mostly in rural areas of the western United States. The disease is caused by a hantavirus that is carried by rodents and passed on to humans through infected rodent urine, saliva, and droppings. How do I identify rodents, burrows, and droppings? A deer mouse is 4-9 inches long from head to tip of tail. It is pale gray to reddish brown and has white fur on its belly, feet, and underside of the tail. It has oversized ears. A mouse nest (burrow) is usually a pile of material under which the mouse lives. This pile can contain many different materials, such as twigs, insulation, styrofoam and grass.
