In addition, the antibodies, produced in nonhuman primates that received the vaccine, protected hamsters from disease even when administered five days after exposure.

Hantaviruses, with emphasis on Four Corners Hantavirus Synonyms : Sin Nombre virus, Convict Creek virus, Muerto Canyon virus Brian Hjelle, M.D. Department of Pathology University of New Mexico School of Medicine Summary: Hantaviruses have been implicated as etiologic agents for two acute diseases: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). Both diseases are carried by rodent vectors. HFRS viruses are carried by Old World rodents, and HPS viruses by New World rodents. The true number and disease potentials of hantaviruses is doubtlessly much higher than currently appreciated. Hantaviruses are classic "emerging viruses" because of their tendency to appear, sometimes explosively, in new populations in which they are unexpected. Introduction Hantaviruses are serologically-related members of the family Bunyaviridae (Elliott, 1991). They are enveloped viruses with a tripartite negative-sense RNA genome. The three genome segments are called L, M and S; they encode the viral transcriptase, envelope glycoproteins, and nucleocapsid protein, respectively. The prototype hantavirus is Hantaan virus (HTN), which infects the Asian striped field mouse

While there is no cure or specific treatment for the infection, there is one machine that seems to save lives. One week before she was hooked up to a life-saving medical device, Annie Merrian, 18, was cleaning a cabin in southwestern Colorado. Within days, she was drowning in serum from her own blood. With definitive tests pending, doctors at the University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque were all but sure she had contracted the potentially deadly hantavirus. But they needed to buy time. "We do believe the ECMO can save critically ill patients with heart and lung failure from hantavirus," said the hospital's Dr. Mark Crowley.

Hantavirus Attention to Hantavirus infections in the western world was first paid during the Korean war (1951-1953) when more than 3000 soldiers developed a disease characterised mainly by fever and renal failure. The disease, which became known as Korean hemorrhagic fever, had a fatality rate of approximately 10%. Not until 1976 was the etiologic agent of KHF was identified in field mice ( Apodemus agrarius ) and isolated in the laboratory. The virus was designated Hantaan virus after a river in Korea. Soon thereafter, Finnish researchers showed a relationship between Hantaan virus and virus in lung tissue from bank voles ( Clethrionomys glareolus ) trapped close to locations where individuals had contracted nephropathia epidemica (NE). The clinical symptoms of NE are similar to Korean hemorrhagic fever, although haemorrhages are much more uncommon. The disease usually lasts for 7-10 days without sequel. The mortality of NE is much lower as compared to KHF, less than 0.2%. The causative agent of NE, Puumala virus, was isolated in the early eighties. Seoul and Dobrava viruses are two other hantaviruses that also cause similar diseases, commonly called hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). In 1993, a previously unknown human infectious disease was recognised in the USA. The infection mainly affected the lungs with a fatality rate of approximately 60%. This initiated an intense research activity, and after only a few months the causative agent was identified and partially characterised. It was shown to be a not previously recognised Hantavirus, later designated Sin Nombre virus. The disease was named Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). The well-characterised hantaviruses to date associated with human disease are summarised in Table 1. Several additional Sin Nombre-like hantaviruses have recently been associated with HPS in the USA.

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:

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome What is Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome? It is a severe life-threatening illness cause by a hantavirus now named Sin Nombre virus. It causes acute respiratory disease, and is carried in wild rodents such as deer mice. Is this a new disease? This virus was first recognized and identified in 1993 when a cluster of cases was reported in the four corners area of the southwestern U.S. Investigations completed since the virus was first identified in 1993 indicate the presence of Sin Nombre virus throughout most of the continental U.S. and the presence of the virus has now been documented as far back as 1959. How does a person get a hantavirus infection? Rodents are the natural hosts for all hantaviruses. Humans are thought to be infected from exposure to rodent droppings, urine, saliva, either through aerosols or direct inoculation. Rodents may be chronically infected with hantavirus and shed the virus for months. Can this disease be spread from person to person? No, there is no evidence of person-to-person transmission for any of the known hantaviruses. There are no documented cases of hantavirus being transmitted from infected patients to health care workers.

98. Hantavirus hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome. What is hantavirus? At the time, thisvirus was identified as the Sin Nombre strain of hantavirus. http://www.sbcphd.org/ehs/hantavir.htm

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome What is Hantavirus? Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome was first discovered in the United States in May of 1993, when a number of deaths were attributed to an unknown pulmonary syndrome in the 4-corners area of the southwest. At the time, this virus was identified as the Sin Nombre strain of Hantavirus. The virus has since been identified in other states across the country including California and Santa Barbara County. How is it transmitted? Hantavirus is spread from wild rodents to people. Human to human transmission is not known to occur. The virus, which is found in rodent urine, saliva, and feces gets into the air as mist or dust from these excretions. Breathing this mist is the most common way of becoming infected; however you can also become infected by touching your mouth or nose after handling contaminated materials. What kinds of rodents carry Hantavirus? Technically, Hantavirus belongs to a group of viruses (9 so far) each with a separate rodent carrier. The deer mouse is the known carrier of Hantavirus found throughout the United States, except the Southeast and East Coast. (In these areas, the cotton mouse is the known carrier.) What are the symptoms?
