hantavirus

hantavirus,

any of a genus (Hantavirus) of single-stranded RNA virusesvirus,
parasite with a noncellular structure composed mainly of nucleic acid within a protein coat. Most viruses are too small (100–2,000 Angstrom units) to be seen with the light microscope and thus must be studied by electron microscopes.

There are many strains of hantavirus. The first to be isolated (1976) was the Hantaan virus (from the Han River in South Korea, which also gives the species its name). Hantaan virus and its related strains, Seoul virus and Puulmala virus, cause Korean hemorrhagic fever (more correctly, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome), a condition in which the capillaries of the circulatory system begin to leak blood. Although some people with the disease are nearly asymptomatic, in others it can lead to shock, acute kidney failure, and, in 10% of cases, death.

A second disease, hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, was identified in the United States in 1993 and is caused by at least three strains of the virus. It is known to be carried by deer mice, white-footed mice, and cotton rats. This disease is much more deadly, causing flulike symptoms that can lead to fluid accumulation in the lungs and death. One of the pulmonary strains, the Sin Nombre virus (named for a Spanish massacre of Native Americans that occurred in the canyon where it was discovered), was the cause of a 1993 outbreak in the Four Corners area of the SW United States that killed 32 of 53 people known to have been infected. Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome occurs sporadically in North America, with roughly one third of those known to be infected dying from the disease. Outbreaks of a hantavirus strain that apparently can be spread from person to person occurred in South America in 1996 and 1997. There is no vaccination for pulmonary hantavirus. Treatment includes respiratory and hemodynamic support; the antiviral drug ribavirin has been effective in some cases.

Hantavirus

[han´tah-vi″rus] a genus of viruses that cause epidemic hemorrhagic fever or pneumonia in humans, who are probably infected by contact with the waste products of rodents.

Han·ta·vi·rus

(han'tā-vī'rŭs), A genus of Bunyaviridae responsible for pneumonia and hemorrhagic fevers. At least seven members of the genus are thus far recognized: Hantaan, Puumala, Seoul, Prospect Hill, Thailand, Thottapalayam, and Sin Nombre viruses. Other species have not been classified as yet. Hantaan virus causes Korean hemorrhagic fever. Various rodent species are the asymptomatic carriers of these viruses, which are shed in saliva, urine, and feces. Human infection is direct, or by the respiratory route from contaminated specimens; person-to-person spread is thought to be rare. An outbreak of hantavirus infection, the hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), causing severe and often fatal pulmonary symptoms was identified in the Four-Corners region of the Southwestern U.S. in 1993 and the agent was subsequently named Sin Nombre virus.

hantavirus

(hăn′tə-vī′rəs)n. Any of a genus of single-stranded RNA viruses carried by rodents that cause disease in humans, especially a type of hemorrhagic fever that involves kidney failure (known as hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome) and a severe respiratory disease (known as hantavirus pulmonary syndrome).

hantavirus

Epidemiology A zoonotic virus of the family Bunyaviridae; it is spherical, ±100 nm in diameter, has a single RNA strand in 3 segments surrounded by a lipid envelope, destroyed by lipid solvents–eg, alcohol, disinfectants, bleach Vector Deer mouse, caused “4 Corners” outbreak; other HVs cause pulmonary Sx–Black Creek Canal virus, Florida Vector Cotton rat; Bayou virus, Louisiana Vector Rice rat; NY-1 virus, New York Vector White-footed mouse

Han·ta·vi·rus

(hahn'tă-vī'rŭs) A genus of Bunyaviridae responsible for pneumonia and hemorrhagic fevers. Four members of the genus are recognized thus far: Hantaan, Puumala, Seoul, and Prospect Hill; the first three are known human pathogens, and Hantaan virus causes Korean hemorrhagic fever. Various rodent species are the asymptomatic carriers of these viruses, which are shed in saliva, urine, and feces. Human infection is direct, or by the respiratory route from contaminated specimens; person-to-person spread has not been demonstrated. Affected people may have a mild to fatal course. The most seriously ill have hemorrhagic fevers accompanied by renal failure and sometimes respiratory collapse. This virus was isolated from patients in Arizona and New Mexico in 1992.
