Hantavirus most likely transmitted by deer mice
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Urban rats prowling subway tunnels and house mice scurrying through cupboards are not the culprits.
Federal health officials say other kinds of rodents are the most likely to carry the hantavirus that has shown up in the Northeast after killing more than 30 people in the Southwest.
Early in the investigation of the often fatal respiratory illness, scientists from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention thought they might be dealing with a new virus.
"We're going to find fantavirus all over the U.S.", predicted Jamie Childs, a CDC epidemiologist in charge of trapping rodents and looking for signs of infection. "This is not a new disease. We're just newly recognizing it."
As they learned more about the illness and investigated variant strains of the virus, CDC researchers were less surprised to see it crop up elsewhere.
There's no reason to panic, he said. Hantavirus has infected rodents in the United States for years without causing epidemics.
And the rodents infected with the newly discovered forms, most commonly deer mice, are usually "either out in the woods or in the fields," Childs said. "There is no indication that Norway rats (common to urban areas) or house mice are going to be the major reservoir of this disease."
Most victims of last year's outbreak lived in the Four Corners area of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado. Since then, only isolated cases have been reported across the country.
Deer mice, the suspect in the Southwest, have been abundant there and in other parts of the country for centuries. CDC officials suggest that the hantavirus outbreak last summer was linked to an extraordinarily wet season.
Hantaviral pulmonary syndrome is believed to be carried in airborne particles of dried feces or urine from
Norway rats carry a different hantavirus, one that attacks the kidneys rather than the respiratory system, but it is rarely transmitted to humans. Childs said. CDC officials now say that an earlier report of a house mouse infected with a new form of hantavirus has been discredited.

rodents. Symptoms develop about two weeks after exposure.
Early symptoms resemble the flu — fever, chills, muscle aches and general listlessness — but the disease progresses rapidly to breathing difficulties. The disease is fatal about 60 percent of the time. No cases are known of human-to-human infection.
