Hantavirus is a deadly zoonotic disease primarily transmitted through inhalation of aerosolized rodent droppings, urine, or saliva, with deer mice being the main carrier species; it has a 2-4 week incubation period and can cause Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) or Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS), characterized by initial flu-like symptoms followed by severe respiratory distress and potential kidney failure, with no effective antiviral treatment or vaccine available, making prevention through proper rodent control, wearing protective gear when cleaning contaminated areas, and sealing entry points the most critical defense against this potentially fatal disease.

Hanta virus the next PandemicAdded:
Today we are going to study about the hunter virus the deadly link between rats and humans. It is a very good example of the nosis. And do you know what the zenosis is? Zenosis is the transmission of diseases from animals to humans.
We started with the stenza.
Hunter virus hides in dust and seen from rats and mice where it has been. If we ignore the warning signs today, the net pen dam will find its way.
It is a very tiny virus. It is hidden inside the droppings of rodents.
Droppings are physically difficult material of the rodents. It is invisible. It is silent. It is deadly and it is fat. It enters the lungs without any warning. And in severe cases, it affects breathing.
There are two strains of hunter virus.
One of them is known as also hunter virus anomalies and this is a type of the virus which used to transmit the disease from animals the rodents into humans and the other one is known as virus and this type of virus is more dangerous than the first one and it used to transmit the disease from human to human.
The deer mouse and the house mouse are the different species and the house mouse does not cause any ha virus. It is caused by it is proximated by the deer mouse.
The deer mouse that has larger eyes and it is two tone in color with darker color over the dorsome that is the black side and the white abdominal and the limb color.
Hunter virus is a rare virus but is a very dangerous virus is mainly carried by the rodents such as rats and mice and the humans usually become infected after breeding care contaminated with the aerosols of the infected rodents their urine their saliva and their droplets.
This virus is also transmitted by the dead bodies of an infected mouse, their nesting materials and even the blood of the mice. And it is also transmitted by touching contaminated surfaces and then touching mouth and nose.
This virus is not spread through ordinary human contact in most of the cases. But some studies shows that it can also be transmitted by infected humans. Instead, it hides in the places where human often ignore such as abandoned buildings, barons, forests, dusty attics and the locked corners of the houses.
Different strains of winter virus can be found in some areas of Europe, Africa and Asia and South America. It is epidemic but it is the next pandemic.
This virus was gained worldwide attention during outbreak linked to rotten population. Scientists discovered that the different species of the rodents carry different ha viruses all around the world.
The incubation period of ha virus is about 2 to 4 weeks and this long incubation period can allow more of the people to become infected. Uh and uh because of the preventive measures can not be taken place. So it is very much difficult to stop the disease. Once inhaled the virus attacks the body especially the lungs and the blood vessels.
This virus is very very dangerous and through the dust particles it moves inside our nose to inside our nasal cavity then moves through the fairings and enters the respiratory system from the trachea it move towards the lungs and here it used to cause the diseases inside the alva. Ha virus pulmonary syndrome or which is also known as HBS is a disease which is caused by this ha virus and in the rare cases the disease is known as HFRS that is hemorrhagic fever with the renal syndrome means that it not only affects the respiratory system but it also affects the kidney system or you can say the urinary system.
Some form may need the kidney while the other attack the lungs.
At first the symptoms may look like ordinary flu just like that of the corona virus. Uh it used to cause fever, headache, muscle pain and fatigue. But then the things suddenly become serious.
In severe cases blood begin to fill inside the lungs and that is known as flu disease. breathing becomes very very difficult and the blood pressure also may dangerously poor.
This condition is called ha pulmonary syndrome or hps.
If the medical care is not given then it becomes lifethreatening.
Hand virus is treated using symptotomatic preventions such as ventilation and often a drug which is known as ribon and antiviral medication that is riboin is not very effective against this antivirus so that the death rate is increasing so high.
There's no antiviral treatment and no vaccination. The best defense against antivirus is prevention.
The preventive measures are never sweep the dry rotten dropping. Instead, wear gloves and a mask. Spray disinfectant first. Ventilate full spaces. Keep the food sealed. Control rotten population by placing mouse traps. Keep your houses unically clean. Close all the crevices and holes inside the house. These rodents they used to live in the seaw line. So you should always have a sealed bathroom and kitchen rain.
Awareness can save lives.
Hunter virus is a virus which is very small to see yet powerful enough to change the lives forever. Hirus reminds us that even the smallest organism can have a massive impact on the humanity.
Through science, truth will light the way to guard our lives from fear each day. Learn the facts and do your part.
Stay informed, stay safe, and stay smart.
Thank you for watching.
