Hantavirus Prevention Control Transmission Facts
What is Hantavirus?
Hanta virus meaning: It is understood that Hantavirus belongs to the Bunyaviridae and is an enveloped segmented negative-strand RNA virus that can cause Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) and Hantavirus renal syndrome hemorrhagic fever. No such cases have been reported in Cangshi.
What are the 5 main routes of transmission of hantavirus?
First, the respiratory tract, mouse excreta carrying the
virus forms an aerosol that floats in the air, infecting humans through the
respiratory tract.
Second, the digestive tract, humans eat the excretion of the
mouse carrying the virus Food contaminated by food is infected through the
mouth or human gastrointestinal tract mucosa.
Third, contact transmission, infected by mouse bites or
damaged mouths, and infected with mouse excreta and blood; and fourth, vertical
transmission. Pregnant women are infected with the virus by the placenta after
being infected with the hemorrhagic fever virus. Fifth, they are transmitted
through related vectors.
Prevention and control of Hantavirus
The prevention and control of Hantavirus (hemorrhagic fever)
mainly adopts comprehensive control measures of "environmental management,
rodent control, vaccination, and personal protection." For individuals, it
is mainly to avoid contact with rats and their excreta / secretions. Emergency
vaccination is available for high-risk groups.

the disease. For many years, China has mainly adopted comprehensive control
measures such as “environmental control, rodent and rodent prevention,
vaccination, and personal protection”. Its fecal / secretory contact.
In addition, emergency vaccination can be targeted at
high-risk groups. China's epidemic hemorrhagic fever vaccine has been on the
market for more than 20 years. And since 2008, the country has routinely
vaccinated people aged 16 to 60 in high-incidence areas.
