ABSTRACT
Hantavirus is a zoonotic virus with high infectivity among humans. Although Hantavirus was identified 50 years ago, there is evidence dating back 900 years. Hantaviruses, which are in the Bunyaviridae family, have caused two different epidemics in the last century. Small mammals, especially different rodent species, are reservoirs of hantavirus infections. The most common hosts are rodents. Although the viruses do not cause disease in rodents, these viruses are transmitted to humans through rodent feces or excretions. The virus can be divided into old and new world viruses. This difference is also reflected in the infections caused by the virus in humans. Although the virus is found in almost all continents, it has been reported most in the Far Eastern countries and eastern Russia. Hantavirus infections are persistent in rodents and insectivores. It is usually asymptomatic. There are no antiviral drugs available to completely cure Hantavirus infection in humans. Additionally, vaccines are not effective enough. This chapter aimed to reveal the potential zoonotic risks of hantaviruses in laboratory animals and to emphasize their importance.
