What is Hantavirus? Hantavirus is a group of viruses that belong to the Bunyaviridae family. These viruses cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in the Americas and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Europe and Asia. HPS is more common in North and South America and is associated with severe respiratory issues, while HFRS affects […]
What is Measles? Measles is caused by the measles virus, which belongs to the Paramyxoviridae family. It primarily spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The virus can remain airborne for up to two hours in a confined space, making it extremely contagious. Symptoms of Measles The initial symptoms of measles […]
