    Extractions: Numerous viruses found worldwide belong to the genus Hantavirus . Some of the viruses in this group cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). HPS was first identified in the southwestern United States in 1993 caused by the Sin Nombre virus. The disease remains very uncommon, however sporadic cases have now been found in many states. There have been two cases in New York State residents, both due to exposures on Long Island. There have been no cases in New York City or New York City residents. Who gets HPS? People exposed to rodent infested environments are at greatest risk for becoming infected. Hantavirus infection has been documented in 31 states in the U.S., from at least 3 different viruses. Sin Nombre virus has only been found in the western U.S.; Black Creek Canal virus and Bayou virus occur in the southeast; and Monongahela and New York-1 viruses have caused infections in the northeast. The New York-1 virus was responsible for two cases in New York State residents exposed on Long Island. How are hantaviruses spread?

    http://www.nps.gov/chis/hanta.htm
    
    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.

    Extractions: 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;

    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.

BSE/ vCJD Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) is a transmissible, neurodegenerative, fatal brain disease of cattle. The disease has an incubation period of four to five years, but ultimately is fatal for cattle within weeks to months of its onset. BSE first came to the attention of the scientific community in November 1986 in the United Kingdom (UK). Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs) are diseases characterized by spongy degeneration of the brain with severe and fatal neurological signs and symptoms. BSE is one of several different forms of transmissible brain disease affecting a number of animal species. While several human TSEs exist, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is the prototype human TSE. Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) is strongly linked to exposure, probably through food, to BSE.

    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: 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 (

H antavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) was first recognized during the spring of 1993 after a cluster of young, previously healthy individuals who lived in the southwestern United States acquired an acute, fatal cardiopulmonary illness. The early nonspecific symptoms of these patients uniformly resembled those of other more frequently seen benign viral infections, so the severity of these infections was not initially suspected. However, the febrile prodrome was followed by rapid, diffuse, noncardiogenic pulmonary edema and hemodynamic compromise resulting in an initial case fatality rate of 76 percent. The etiologic agent was subsequently determined to be a previously unrecognized hantavirus, Sin Nombre virus (SNV), and is now known to be the predominant cause of HPS in the United States.
