(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.

INTERNET INFORMATION CENTER 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.

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;

50. Hanta Virus & Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) - ExploreNorth How to recognize deer mice, and to avoid the oftenfatal disease that they may be carrying. http://www.explorenorth.com/library/weekly/aa052300a.htm

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 (

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. How is hantavirus infection acquired?

The latest version of the software is available for free from Adobe. HEALTH INFORMATION Hantavirus Albertans are reminded to take precautions to avoid hantavirus infection. The department stresses that the incidence of the disease and the risk it poses to the public is low. However, particularly in the spring, when the weather improves and people spend more time outdoors and doing spring cleaning, Albertans should remember how they can keep any risk to a minimum. The only confirmed carrier of the hantavirus in Alberta is the deer mouse (reddish-brown or in some cases grey, but always with white fur on the neck, belly, feet, and tail). However, it is possible that other rodents may carry the virus and it is not always easy to determine what kind of mouse one is exposed to (particularly when the only evidence is droppings). All rodents should be treated as potential carriers. The virus does not appear to have any effect on mice which carry it. Precautions The main risk of infection comes from being exposed to accumulations of mouse droppings in enclosed areas for example, cleaning a garage or shed that mice have been living in during the winter. Hantavirus is passed to humans when they breathe in airborne particles released from the droppings, fresh urine and nesting material of infected rodents. The virus does not appear to cause any illness in pets. Even if they are exposed to the virus, dogs and cats do not pass the infection on to their owners. The virus is also not passed from one person to another.

Prevention 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.

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.
