[00:04:10]And um after analysis and investigation, we found out that these people were confirmed that these people contracted a virus called Hantavirus.

[00:04:21]In particular, now we know that's a species of Hantavirus called Andes virus.

[00:04:27]And this virus is found in South American mainly in Chile and Argentina. We think the first case of Hantavirus might happen during the Korean War and that's where the name comes from, Hantan. So, there is a river in Korea that's called Hantan River.

[00:04:43]And in the late '70s, the Hanta Hantavirus virus have been isolated and then it has been traced back that probably caused an outbreak among soldiers in the region during the war.

[00:04:57]Um late later in the '90s, the viruses Hantaviruses have been found also in in the New World.

[00:05:06]So, in the Americas and we know Andes, it has been found late '90s in South America and we know another Hantavirus that's usually associated with North American cases. Beside the diversity in geography, we also know that the viruses New World Hantaviruses cause a disease that we are seeing now called pulmonary syndromes.

[00:05:29]So, the main targeted organ are the lungs and it is believed also the heart to a lower extent. And the fatality rate is is around 40% which is why people are so scared, probably.

[00:05:43]And for Old World Hantaviruses, though, the pathology is quite different, so they mainly affect kidneys.

[00:05:51]And the fatality rate is much lower. It is between 1 to 15%.

[00:05:57]So, it's same viral family, different virus species that cause different type of diseases depending on the species and where you contract it.

[00:06:07]So, we are particularly worried about Andes because, as you as people may know now, this virus is mainly transmitted from rodents to human. And when I say rodents to human, is basically you can imagine a scenario where there are rodents' excreta that people might come into contact. And by moving or cleaning this excreta, the viral particles that are in in this secretion that are becomes aerosol and then can be inhaled.

[00:06:37]So, I was reading about it and as far as I I found a paper from 2023 where they stated there are around 100 to 200 cases of Andes virus in Argentina every year.

[00:06:54]So, I think these infections they happen more than we maybe be aware aware of because they are in other part of the world because we don't notice we as a part as a general public we are more focused on other more known viruses.

[00:07:14]The most important thing is not to create panic.

[00:07:19]So, transmit as I said, this virus is not new.

[00:07:25]And the fact that people are hearing it hearing about it or them for the first time means the transmission is very low.

[00:07:32]It doesn't happen often.

[00:07:34]And so, I would suggest the public not be be informed, get the information from the right media.

[00:07:46]And not to draw to any conclusion like cancel all the holidays, start stockpiling or any goods. This is This is not where we are now.
