| Geology | A virus in the family Bunyaviridae that causes a type of hemorrhagic fever. It is thought that humans catch the disease mainly from infected rodents, either through direct contact with the animals or by inhaling or ingesting dust that contains their dried urine. (references) | ||
| Health | A genus of the family Bunyaviridae causing Hantavirus infections, first identified during the Korean war. Infection is found primarily in rodents and humans. Transmission does not appear to involve arthropods. The genus has one recognized group (Hantaan group) consisting of several species including Dobrava-Belgrade virus, Seoul virus, Prospect Hill virus, Puumala virus, Thottapalayam virus, and Hantaan virus, the type species. (references) | ||
| Wikipedic | Hantaviruses belong to the bunyavirus family of viruses. There are 5 genera within the bunyaviridae family: bunyavirus, phlebovirus, nairovirus, tospovirus, and hantavirus. Each is made up of negative-sensed, single-stranded RNA viruses. All these genera include arthropod-borne viruses, with the exception of hantavirus, which is rodent-borne. (references) | ||

Specialty Expressions: HANTAVIRUS
| Expressions | Domain | Definition | |
| Hantavirus Infections | Health | Infections with viruses of the genus Hantavirus. This is associated with at least four clinical syndromes: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome caused by viruses of the Hantaan group; a milder form of HFRS caused by Seoul and related viruses; nephropathia epidemica caused by Puumala and related viruses; and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome caused by Muerto Canyon virus. (references) | |
| Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome | Geology | Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is characterized by the infection of one type of hantavirus called the Muerto Canyon virus (which is prevalent in the southwestern US and is carried by rodents such as mice). It presents as a nonspecific febrile illness followed by rapid development of shock-like state and ARDS. (references) | |
| Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome | Health | Acute respiratory illness in humans caused by the Muerto Canyon virus whose primary rodent reservoir is the deer mouse Peromyscus maniculatus. First identified in the southwestern United States, this syndrome is characterized most commonly by fever, myalgias, headache, cough, and rapid respiratory failure. (references) | |
| Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome | Mechanical Engineering | That part of a holding device, frequently interchangeable, which the clamping mechanism forces against the piece to be clamped. Examples: the jaws of a vice, of a rotating chuck, of a work steady. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome | Medicine | Disease, caused by a previously unrecognized hantavirus, that begins with nonspecific symptoms (fever, muscle aches, headache, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting) and progresses to include coughing and shortness of breath; the disease rapidly progresses to cardiac and respiratory failure and usually requires intensive care management.
