Extractions: What is Hantavirus? Hantavirus disease is a rare, but potentially fatal infection spread by deer mice and possibly by other rodents. It is transmitted to people when they inhale airborne particles contaminated by the saliva or excretions of infected rodents. Controlling rodents, identifying sources of infection, cleaning buildings and work sites and minimizing exposures will reduce the risk of infection. Flu-like or pneumonia symptoms following potential exposures to sources of infection should be promptly reported to a doctor for treatment. It begins as a flu-like illness. The initial symptoms include fever, muscle aches, cough, headaches, nausea and vomiting. As the disease worsens, pneumonia symptoms may develop. Fluid builds up in the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. Death may occur at this stage. The initial symptoms of the disease may appear from one to six weeks after the exposure, with an average of from two to three weeks. Once the initial symptoms appear, the disease can progress rapidly and become life-threatening within a few days. Treatment People who develop fever or respiratory illness within 6 weeks of potential exposure to sources of infection should immediately seek medical attention. The physician should be informed of the potential exposure and of the suspected risk of Hantavirus disease. Persons with the disease will require intensive, supportive care to treat the symptoms.

Extractions: VECTOR CONTROL PROGRAM HANTAVIRUS Hantavirus infection is a serious, life-threatening illness. A person can become infected by direct contact with infected rodents or by inhaling airborne particles of urine, droppings, or saliva from them. Dogs and cats are not known to be reservoir hosts for hantavirus; however, they may bring infected rodents into contact with humans. The best protection against the Hantavirus is to prevent all rodents from entering structures and to carefully clean and disinfect indoor areas currently or previously infested with rodents. The primary carrier of the Hantavirus is the Deer Mouse, Peromyscus maniculatus. The Deer Mouse is the size of a house mouse; ranges in color from pale gray to reddish brown; has white fur on its belly and feet; and has a bi-colored tail (pale gray to reddish brown and white), slightly shorter than its head and body length. The deer mouse is commonly found in forests, brush, grasslands, and chaparral areas throughout California. State and local health agencies have tested several thousand deer mice throughout the State and found average 12% positive for Hantavirus.

Extractions: Health and Safety Sub-Committee Hazard Alert Hantavirus BACKGROUND The hantavirus can cause serious illness and death in humans. Cases of infection in deer mice have been confirmed in Algonquin Provincial Park by federal officials. Outbreaks of this disease in humans have been reported in the United States, British Columbia and Alberta. One half of these cases resulted in death. Until further surveys are conducted, the extent of the infection in Ontario and the risk to humans is difficult to assess. However, the seriousness of the disease warrants extreme caution WHAT IS THE HANTAVIRUS INFECTION?

Extractions: Hantavirus, which causes a very serious lung infection in humans, is carried by rodents, primarily the deer mouse. The first cases were identified in the Southwestern U.S. in 1993. Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is potentially deadly and immediate intensive care treatment is essential once symptoms appear. The disease begins as a flu-like illness characterized by fever, chills, and muscle aches. Although only 318 cases have been identified in 31 states, the case fatality rate was 37%.

Extractions: Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome Cases by Onset Month in New Mexico 1975-2005 Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome is a severe respiratory illness that can be deadly. 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.

Extractions: Hantavirus: In 1993, an outbreak of a mysterious, often fatal lung disease occurred in the southwestern United States. That outbreak occurred in part from weather changes like those brought about by El Niño, which fosters increases in the rodent populations that carry diseases. Scientists quickly determined the illness was caused by a previously unknown strain of hantavirus, a family of disease-causing viruses that occurs naturally in mice and other rodents. By April 2001, health care workers had reported that 283 people had developed the condition known as hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. More than a third have died from the disease.

The deadly virus kills almost half of its victims. Avoid Contact With Rodents Steps: Block entryways into buildings. Use weather stripping, flashing, caulking, and fine steel wool for openings around doors, windows, roofing, and points of entry for pipes and utility lines. Set snap traps - not "humane" or "live-catch" traps - if there is any suspicion of rodent infestation in a building. Bait traps with peanut butter and place in open paper bags near sides of walls and runways. Wear latex gloves and a HEPA face mask (see Glossary) when disposing of a trap containing a dead rodent. Eliminate brush and storage piles, which are nesting sites for rodents. Remove food normally left out for pets and wildlife.

http://www.ehs.berkeley.edu/whatwedo/healthsafety/hantavirusdoc.html

Extractions: Rodents are the known reservoirs of Hantaviruses, and other small mammals can be infected as well. In California, deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) , which are common throughout the state, are the implicated reservoir for a strain of Hantavirus pathogenic to humans. 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. 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 the nature of their work brings them into closer and more frequent contact with rodents and their excretions. The likelihood of infection with Hantavirus appears to be low (two confirmed cases in California), but the fatality rate for the Muerto Canyon (New Mexico) strain is high (approximately 60%). At present, there is no effective vaccine to prevent infection, and diagnosis and treatment are difficult. Enhanced precautions are warranted to protect against possible infection.

Extractions: Since the recent death of an Edmonton-area man, the public in general and workers in particular have expressed considerable concern about their risk of exposure to "hantavirus". This article provides some general information about the organism and its clinical presentation, and offers some guidelines to employers and workers in an effort to reduce the risk of occupational exposure to this organism. Hantaviruses primarily infect rodents and, on occasion, may be transmitted directly to humans. There are several species of Hantavirus, including Hantaan, Puumala, Seoul, Prospect Hill , and the newly identified Meurto Canyon and Black Creek species. Until the discovery of the Meurto Canyon virus, Hantaviruses were recognized as responsible for an array of diseases ranging from the "flu-like" illness caused by the Seoul organism to the hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome due to the Hantaan virus. Since May 1993, the Meurto Canyon virus has been documented as the cause of severe respiratory disease (Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome or HPS) with reported fatality rates of up to 77 percent.

Extractions: Albuquerque, NM 87102 The hantavirus is carried in the urine, saliva, or droppings of infected rodents primarily deer mice although other species of mice have been found to be infected. People are infected by breathing in the virus during direct contact with rodents or from disturbing dust and feces from mice nests or surfaces contaminated with mice droppings or urine. Host-deer mice are very common in rural and semi-rural areas throughout the U.S., but are rarely found in developed urban or suburban areas. In New Mexico, hantavirus has been found primarily in the northern areas; especially in the Four Corners area. Only one case has been found in Bernalillo County and that occurred in 1995 in the East Mountain area. Mice are not affected by the virus. Household pets and livestock do not appear to become ill and do not transmit the virus. The virus is not transmitted by insects. There have been no recorded cases of human-to-human transmission in North America. The deer mouse is 4-9 inches long from head to tail and the color varies from pale gray to reddish-brown with a sharply bi-colored tail. The length of the tail is usually two-thirds of its body length and unlike other field mice, it does not have a tuft of hairs protruding from the tip of the tail (middle mouse in photo). Other mice such as the pinon mouse (top mouse in photo) and the common house mouse (bottom mouse in photo) are sometimes mistaken for the deer mouse.
