After the appearance of the Corona virus, thousands of victims have died, so we are surprised by the emergence of a new virus called Hanta virus.
Various media outlets reported a Chinese newspaper about the death of a man in Yunnan Province, but this time it is not linked to the new Corona virus "Covid-19", but rather to another virus.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Hanta virus” cases are rare, and usually spread in rural areas, where forests, fields, and farms provide a suitable habitat for rodent hosts to the virus.
Also, the areas around the home or work where rodents may live (for example, houses, barns, outbuildings, and parasols) are potential sites where people may be exposed to the virus.
The infection is caused by close contact with urine, dung, or rodent saliva, or by inhaling air contaminated with the virus, and can be carried by certain types of rats and mice.
The American Centers for Disease Control indicated that every "Hanta virus" strain is related to host types of rodents, and that these viruses are transmitted in what is known as "air transport", that is, by the surrounding air, when virus particles are transported from animal urine, feces or saliva in the air. And affects the individual.
In rare cases, a person may become infected with the Hanta virus, if an infected animal bites it.
Experts believe that it is possible to become infected with the virus if a person touches his mouth or nose after dealing with a surface contaminated with urine, dung, or saliva of the host, as well as if he ingested contaminated food.
In the United States, the disease is known as "Hanta's Pulmonary Syndrome" (HBS), but in Europe and Asia it is known as "Hemorrhagic Fever with Nephrotic Syndrome" (HFRS).
The virus had previously spread to the United States, Chile and Argentina, where it was also known as the "Andes Virus".

During a period ranging between 4 to 10 days, a person can develop shortness of breath and coughing, and his lungs may be filled with fluid, and the death rate from the virus after this stage reaches 38 percent of cases.
In cases of "hemorrhagic fever with nephrotic syndrome", a person's symptoms appear quickly, including back pain, stomach, headache, chills, nausea and fever, sometimes accompanied by blurring of vision, the face may become red or inflamed, and lower blood pressure can follow, in addition to Acute shock, acute renal failure, and death rate here is between 1 to 15 percent.
