Hantavirus context · People's Republic of China

People's Republic of China sits in East Asia, where hantavirus infection most often takes the form of Hantaan and Seoul virus infections that together account for the bulk of HFRS cases reported worldwide.

Across this region the principal reservoirs are field mice in agricultural areas and Norway rats in dense urban housing — the two reservoirs that dominate East Asian surveillance. Human exposure typically happens through inhalation of aerosolized droppings, urine, or saliva from these rodents — most often in rural housing, agricultural buildings, or poorly ventilated indoor spaces with recent rodent activity.
