Hantavirus is a zoonotic virus transmitted from rodents to humans through contact with infected saliva, urine, or droppings. It gained recent attention following a cruise ship outbreak. The virus has two main forms: Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) and Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS). With a high mortality rate of 38-50%, it causes flu-like symptoms followed by severe respiratory issues. There is no specific cure or vaccine; treatment focuses on intensive care and oxygen support. Prevention involves keeping environments rodent-free and using masks/gloves during cleaning. https://www.prothomalo.com/lifestyle/health/d0qip4u07g #creator program
