Overview
The most potent risk factor in the development of hantavirus infection risk factors is exposure to rodent excreta and close contact with hantavirus-infected humans.[1][2]
Risk Factors
The most potent risk factor in the development of hantavirus infection risk factors is exposure to rodent excreta and close contact with hantavirus-infected humans. Other risk factors include:[1][2]
- Pest control department workers
- Construction workers
- Unhygienic environment leading to mice growth
- Unattended dumpsters
- Homeless
- Forest adventures
- Hunting
- Hiking
- Field exposures
- Living in endemic areas
- Camping
- Rural areas
- Spring and Summer
- Cleaning of uninhabited buildings
- Cleaning of the attics
- Rodent infested environment
