hantaviruses
Mouse-transmitted infectious agents
Hantaviruses are a group of viruses carried by rodents that can cause severe illness in humans, including hemorrhagic fever and a respiratory syndrome that can be fatal.
Transmission typically occurs through contact with rodent urine, droppings, or saliva, or by inhaling dust contaminated with these materials.
The cabin had been closed up for years, raising concerns about hantavirus exposure.
