“…Some hantavirus species are linked with HFRS and others with HPS, each with specifi c environmental scenarios and climate patterns. In the rural areas of the DF, the reservoir for hantavirus transmission is the wild rodent Necromys lasiurus (15) (16) (17) .…”

Introduction: Hantavirus diseases are emerging human diseases caused by Hantavirus spp. of the Bunnyaviridae family. Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) has been detected in the Federal District (DF) of Brazil since 2004. Among the 27 Brazilian Federal Units, DF has the highest fatality rate. More than 10 years have already passed since then, with confi rmation of cases caused by the Araraquara and Paranoa species. The reservoir is Necromys lasiurus. Methods: Local surveillance data of the confi rmed cases were analyzed, including age, sex, month and year of occurrence, clinical symptoms, syndromes and outcomes, and probable transmission place (PTP). The cases were mainly confi rmed by IgM detection with a capture enzyme immunoassay. The cases were classifi ed as autochthonous if PTPs were in the DF area. Results: From 2004 to 2013, in the DF, 126 cases of hantavirus were confi rmed, and the cumulative incidence was 5.0 per 100,000 inhabitants. The occurrence of cases was predominantly from April to August. At least 75% of the cases were autochthonous. Acute respiratory failure was reported in 47.5% of cases, and the fatality rate was 40%. Conclusions: In the DF, the cumulative incidence of HPS was one of the highest worldwide. A seasonal pattern of hantavirus disease in the dry season is clear. There was a high frequency of severe clinical signals and symptoms as well as a high fatality rate. For the near future, visitors and inhabitants of DF rural areas, particularly male adults, should receive continuous education about hantavirus transmission and prevention.

“…Perubahan salah satu komponen tersebut dapat mengakibatkan penurunan atau peningkatan infeksi di daerah tersebut. Sebagai contoh, perubahan iklim dan lingkungan yang disebabkan oleh penggundulan hutan, beralihnya fungsi hutan, atau perubahan tata kota, dapat menyebabkan penurunan keanekaragaman spesies rodensia yang ada di daerah tersebut dan terjadinya perpindahan spesies rodensia ke daerah baru (Koch et al 2007;Willemann & Oliveira 2014). Kondisi tersebut dapat mengakibatkan interaksi rodensia dalam satu spesies akan meningkat, sehingga penularan antar rodensia dapat menginfeksi ke manusia juga meningkat.…”

“…Tipe HPS lebih banyak menyebabkan kematian daripada tipe HFRS, karena mengakibatkan tidak berfungsinya otot miokardium dan terjadinya hypoperfusion, sehingga sering disebut sebagai Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome (HCPS) (Plyusnina et al 2009;MacNeil et al 2011). Oleh sebab itu, penyakit ini menjadi sangat penting bagi kesehatan masyarakat (Willemann & Oliveira 2014). Berdasarkan penyebarannya, HPS lebih mendominasi Amerika, sedangkan HFRS lebih menyebar ke Asia dan Eropa (Vapalahti et al 2003;Johansson et al 2010;Olsson et al 2010).…”

Recently, the evidence of Hantavirus infection in human and animals is increasing, and new Hantavirus strain has been identified. The disease causes clinical renal and lung disorders and fatal to human. The presence of new Hantavirus strain, lack of available quick and accurate diagnostic tool, asymptomatic clinical signs and paucity of disease information, will inhibit disease control especially in the developing countries. The paper describes Hantavirus disease and its epidemiology in developed and developing countries, including Indonesia and its recommendation for disease prevention and control.
