Abstract

Hantaviruses have always existed in today’s society, and people in many countries have been attacked by rodents, or unknowingly in contact with rodent fluids, leading to a silent increase in the number of hantavirus cases. Compared to the current COVID-19 epidemic, the hantavirus is not well known to the world, but in fact, not only in the United States but in China, HFPS cases account for more than half of the confirmed cases globally. Both HPS and HFPS can lead to severe clinical features such as hypotensive shock, renal failure, and other symptoms. At present, there is no specific medicine, and the vaccine technology is not mature. Vaccines are still in development and have not yet reached the ideal state. So, this essay is to summarize the past surveillance and control of the hantavirus in the United States to reduce the possibility of a resurgence of the virus. By explaining the cases of hantavirus in the United States and the work, race, gender, and many different aspects of the patients, the current treatment direction and methods of hantavirus are explained. On the whole, people should pay more attention to epidemic monitoring, strengthen customs management, strengthen people's awareness of the hantavirus, and strengthen education in high-risk areas, to be more able to control the outbreak of the epidemic.
