Hantavirus Infections in Turkey
Hantaviruses are a group of rodent-borne enveloped RNA viruses belonging to the genus Hantavirus, family Bunyaviridae. Hantaviruses cause two type of disease in people: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS). Type and severity of the disease are c...
