Hantaviruses, which are spread by rodents, cause severe, often fatal, diseases in humans, which can be classified into two main types: hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), which is found in the Americas, and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), which occurs primarily in Europe and Asia. These diseases are characterized by severe respiratory or kidney failure, often accompanied by fever, muscle aches, and fatigue.
