Hanta Virus became more well known in the summer of 1993 in New Mexico and Arizona. Hanta Virus is a viral disease process with a seasonal pattern correlated with the presence of increased number of the carrier rodents.
The deer mouse (Peromyscus Maniculatus) is the known carrier of the Hanta Virus. The virus is transmitted through aerosol contact with rodent excretions. Symptoms are thought to show up about 2 weeks after the person is exposed to the Hanta Virus.
Early symptoms will be an elevated body temperature (fever), general weakness and aching, nausea or loose stools. Symptoms progress to shortness of breath (respiratory distress) and low blood pressure (hypotension). The concern is respiratory failure and cardiogenic shock.
Exposed individuals will need to seek medical attention. Community safety involves rodent avoidance and rodent control of the home setting. This gives us a sense of why the transportation of wild animals is regulated.
