Antigen Information
Introduction
Hantavirus (or Orthohantaviruse) is a negative sense single stranded RNA virus in the Hantaviridae family of the order Bunyavirales. Hantaviruses normally infect rodents such as mice and voles and do not cause disease in these hosts. In humans the virus causes two main patterns of disease: a bleeding disorder with low blood pressure and kidney failure (haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome); and an illness with lung involvement and breathlessness, progressing to shock with high mortality (Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome). Human infections of hantaviruses have almost entirely been linked to human contact with rodent excrement, but recent human-to-human transmission has been reported with the Andes virus in South America.
