Hantavirus - Nigerian React To New Deadly Virus

Ortho-hantavirus is a single-stranded, enveloped, negative-sense RNA virus in the family Hantaviridae of the order Bunyavirales.
A man from China’s Yunnan Province has died of Hantavirus, a new virus, while on his way to Shandong Province for work on a charter bus on Monday.

He tested positive for the virus, while 32 other people on the bus were also tested according to reports.

Hantavirus is currently trending on social media, following the death.
These viruses normally infect rodents, but do not cause disease in them.

Humans may become infected with hantaviruses through contact with rodent urine, saliva, or feces.
