HPS

HPS is a virus and an infectious respiratory disease caused by the Hantavirus, a Biosafety Level 4 pathogen, which could probably be found in your own back yard. Without the proper care, HPS is a typically fatal. This “hantavirus” belongs a group of RNA virii related to the family Bunyaviridae and, depending on its nature, may be the etiological agent for one of two acute illnesses: hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). Rodents, especially the deer mouse, carry Hantaviruses that cause HPS. You can become infected by exposure to their droppings. The HFRS causing hantavirii are endemic to East Asia, while HPS-causing hantavirii are endemic to the New World. Nearly one- half of all Hantavirus- infected individuals have died. The Hantavirus has a reputation for being a “rare” virus, which is a misunderstanding. In the United States, the virus is ubiquitous, being found in over half of the lower 48 states. In fact, cases of the diseas!

e have occurred in at least thirty states.

The first symptoms can occur anywhere between five days and three weeks after infection. They usually include fever, fatigue, and aching muscle
