Abstract

This chapter focuses on hantaviruses of known human health importance. In humans, New World hantaviruses cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) and Old World hantaviruses cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). Hantaviruses are distributed world-wide and are maintained primarily in rodent hosts.

Rodent hosts are persistently infected, transmitting the viruses among themselves, through fighting or contamination of their surroundings, the latter being the most frequent source of human infection. A variety of ecological factors influence the population dynamics of these rodent hosts and, in turn, the dynamics of transmission among them with corresponding risk of human infection.
