Rodents like rats and mouse are reservoir for hentavirus. Anyone who comes into contact with rodents that carry hantavirus is at risk of getting i fection of hentavirus. Rodent infestation in and around the home remains the primary risk for hantavirus exposure.
Hentavirus causes disease called hentavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). Symptoms of disease are fever, cough, muscle pain, headache, and lethargy. During later stages the disease is characterized by a sudden onset of shortness of breath with rapidly evolving pulmonary edema that is often fatal and causes death.

Fifty years ago many people believed the age-old battle of humans against infectious disease was virtually over, with humankind the winners. The events of the past decades have proved this wrong. At least a dozen "new" diseases have been identified (such as AIDS, Legionnaire disease, SARS, and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome), and traditional diseases that appeared to be "on their way out" (such as malaria and tuberculosis) are resurging. Globally, infectious diseases remain among the leading causes of death. Clearly, the...
