About the disease
Hantavirus spreads primarily through contact with infected rodent droppings, urine or saliva — not between people.
How it spreads →
Despite outbreak news cycles, hantavirus causes a very small number of annual cases worldwide compared to other infectious diseases.
Global data →
With one exception (Andes virus in southern South America), no hantavirus strain spreads directly between humans.

Two dangerous viruses are back in the spotlight, reminding health officials how quickly infectious diseases can become serious threats. Hantavirus, often linked to rodents, can cause severe heart and lung complications and has no specific treatment or vaccine, while certain strains can even spread between people.
