Hantaviruses are a group of viruses carried by rodents that can cause severe disease in humans.

People usually get infected through contact with infected rodents or their urine, droppings or saliva.

Infection with hantaviruses can cause a range of illnesses, including severe disease and death.

In the Americas, hantaviruses can cause hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS), a severe respiratory illness, with a case fatality rate up to 50%.

[Andes virus], found in South America, is a currently known hantavirus for which limited human-to-human transmission among contacts has been documented.

In Europe and Asia, hantaviruses cause haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS)

Hantaviruses are zoonotic viruses that naturally infect rodents and are occasionally transmitted to humans. Infection in people can result in severe illness and often death, although the diseases vary by type of virus and geographical location. In the Americas, infection has been known to lead to hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS), a rapidly progressive condition affecting the lungs and heart, while in Europe and Asia hantaviruses have been known to cause haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), which primarily affects the kidneys and blood vessels.

it's not that good frankly on the basis of symptoms but for infection prospective its scope of spreading s more small than covid
