There are 5 genera within the bunyaviridae family: bunyavirus, phlebovirus nairovirus tospovirus , and hantavirus. Each is made up of negative-sensed, single-stranded RNA viruses . All these genera include arthropod -borne viruses, with the exception of hantavirus, which is rodent -borne. Like other members of the bunyavirus family, hantaviruses are enveloped viruses with a genome that consists of three single-stranded RNA segments designated S (small), M (medium), and L (large). All hantaviral genes are encoded in the negative (genome complementary) sense. The S RNA encodes the nucleocapsid (N) protein. The M RNA encodes a polyprotein that is cotranslationally cleaved to yield the envelope glycoproteins G1 and G2. The L RNA encodes the L protein, which functions as the viral transcriptase/replicase. Within virions, the genomic RNAs of hantaviruses are thought to complex with the N protein to form helical nucleocapsids, which circularize due to sequence complementarity between the 5' and 3' terminal sequences of each genomic segment.

Deer mouse, Peromyscus maniculatus, a hantavirus carrier. (courtesy CDC) The death of an Alberta woman from hantavirus in May 2005 once again raised the profile of this rare but deadly viral disease. Canada’s first human hantavirus case was reported in British Columbia in 1994, but subsequent research suggests that the first case actually took place in Alberta five years earlier. About 57 cases have been reported in Canada, with at least 19 deaths. All of the cases have occurred in the four western provinces. But infected mice have been found in every province except Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, suggesting that the potential exists for human hantavirus cases to emerge in other parts of the country.

Fourth case of hantavirus in Alberta
Last Updated Sat, 21 May 2005 09:24:29 EDT CBC News EDMONTON - Health authorities in Alberta are looking for help from Health Canada to deal with a small outbreak of the hantavirus, a potentially fatal disease. Officials have confirmed a fourth case after one woman died last week and another adult and child from the same family in central Alberta became ill. They say a man from Hobbema, south of Edmonton, has come down with the infection. Deer mouse, Peromyscus maniculatus, a hantavirus carrier. (courtesy CDC) Dr. Karen Grimsrud, deputy provincial health officer, says the latest case is not related to the first, but that makes it a bigger concern. "I think it leaves us with a question that we had last week and that is, there's something unusual going on here, how can we explain this cluster?"

Who gets hantavirus infection?
Anyone can become infected with hantavirus, but persons who have exposure to rodents or to rodent-infested areas are at highest risk of the infection.
Is hantavirus infection a new disease?
No. Outbreaks of disease compatible with certain types of hantavirus infection have been described in Europe and Asia since the 1930's. However, in the United States, there were no reports of acute disease associated with hantavirus prior to 1993. In the spring of that year, an outbreak of severe respiratory disease caused by a newly recognized strain of hantavirus occurred in the southwestern USA. It is now apparent that illnesses due to this strain occurred before the 1993 outbreak but were not recognized.

INFORMATION ON HANTAVIRUS
A strain of Hantavirus has recently been found in the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus), the most common mouse in this region. The disease caused by this virus is called HARDS which stands for Hantavirus Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. The virus is one of a family of viruses carried by rodents and communicable to humans. In response to this concern, the University is making every effort to reduce and avoid contact between users of the reserve and mice. However, this effort requires assistance from you, the reserve users, and we are requesting your help and cooperation, especially by complying with the suggested risk reduction and cleanup guidelines.

Fact Sheet (PDF 66 KB) Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is a respiratory illness caused by infection with a group of viruses called hantaviruses.
Hantavirus infections occur in several states in the U. S. as well as in many other areas of North and South America. Sin Nombre virus is the most common of the hantaviruses in the United States. It is usually responsible for infections in the western states, including Colorado, and is carried by the deer mouse. In 1993, a cluster of illnesses occurred in the Four Corners area of the southwestern United States. This was the first incident where Sin Nombre virus was identified.

Public Information Health Care Providers News Media Text Only Version DISEASES : Hantavirus What is hantavirus ? It's a virus that can cause a rare but very serious lung disease called hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). The virus was first found in people in 1993 but has probably existed for many years. The first cases were in rural areas of the southwest United States. The U.S. reports less than 35 cases each year, while Canada reports about three cases annually. No cases have been confirmed east of Saskatchewan. How is hantavirus spread ? Rodents may carry the virus, especially deer mice. Infected rodents shed the virus in their urine, saliva and droppings (feces). Deer Mouse Deer mice are pale grey, with white fur on their stomachs. They live mainly in rural and semi-rural wooded areas. They are not generally found in urban areas. Health Canada has found the virus in a very small percentage of deer mice tested in Northern Ontario. Your chances of getting HPS are very low. Only rarely do people exposed to the virus become infected. People can be exposed to the virus in several ways :
  • most often by breathing in infected dust from deer mice droppings or urine;

HANTAVIRUS ON THE CHANNEL ISLANDS
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. TO REDUCE YOUR RISK OF INFECTION:
DO NOT FEED ANY WILD ANIMALS
Avoid contact with rodents and rodent burrows
Do not disturb dens
Do not pitch tents or place sleeping bags in proximity to rodent feces or burrows or near possible rodent shelters
If possible, do not sleep on bare ground. Use tents with floors.

Hanta Virus
by Murray Lundberg Dateline: May 22, 2000 For those of us who live on the edge of a forest, one of the most insidious dangers is brought into our homes by one of the cutest of forest creatures, the deer mouse. Having just had to wage my distressing Annual Deer Mouse Massacre last night, this may be a good time to provide a warning about just how serious the problem is. First, a caution - don't get too focussed on this, as the disease is quite rare. However, it is fatal to almost half the people who contract it, so it's important to know the situation, and the easy steps to take to avoid exposure. Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) was first recognized in the United States in 1993. The circumpolar North, however, has known hantavirus outbreaks for decades - in Europe, different varieties of the virus occur, with different carriers than in North America. In 1913 Russia was hit hard by the disease, then in 1932-1935 most of Scandinavia saw outbreaks, and in 1945 a small area of northern Finland was hit. In Canada, the earliest confirmed case of HPS dates to 1989. Most cases in Canada have been in the area of Edmonton, Alberta. Deer Mice ( Peromyscus maniculatus ) have large eyes and ears, with bodies about 2.5 - 3.5 inches long and tails the same length. Colors range from grey to reddish brown. The most distinctive feature is a white underbelly; the feet and tail may also have some white on them. Deer mice inhabit most of North America, including much of the Yukon and Northwest Territories (

Hantavirus
DESCRIPTION: A genus of the Bunyaviridae family responsible for pneumonia and hemorrhagic fevers. Disease transmission is associated with infected rodents, who manifest no apparent symptoms, but shed virus in feces, urine and saliva. The hantavirus strain that causes disease in Europe and Asia is distinctly different from the hantavirus pulmonary syndrome occurring mainly in southwestern U.S. This syndrome, progressing from flu-like symptoms to respiratory failure, and possibly death is known for its high mortality.
CAUSES:
  • human infection may occur from inhalation, ingestion (e.g., contaminated food or water), contact with rodent excrement or rodent bites; person-to-person spread or transmission by mosquitos, fleas or other arthropods has not been reported

    Hantavirus
    Definition: Hantavirus is a disease characterized by flu-like symptoms followed by respiratory failure.
    Alternative Names: Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome
    Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Hantavirus has probably caused people to get sick for years in the United States, but it was not recognized until recently. A 1993 outbreak of fatal respiratory illness on an Indian reservation in the Four Corners area (the border of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona) led epidemiologists to the discovery of hantavirus as the causative agent. Since that discovery, hantavirus disease has been reported in every western state, and in many eastern states. Hantavirus is carried by rodents, particularly deer mice, and is present in their urine and feces. The virus does not cause disease in the carrier animal. Humans are thought to become infected when they are exposed to contaminated dust from the nests or droppings of mice. The disease is not, however, passed between humans. Contaminated dust is often encountered when cleaning long-vacated dwellings, sheds, or other enclosed areas.
