A man has died in China after being allegedly victim of the Hanta virus.
Newsweek quoted China’s official Global Times as saying that the man was killed Monday in Yunnan province when he was traveling by bus to Shan Dong Province.
The man’s screening took place after the death, and 32 other people on the bus were tested, though it is believed that the virus did not diffuse from one person to another.
Test results are not yet known and no name or cause of death has been specified in the report.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Predation, the pathogenicity of the Hanta virus family is usually transmitted from mice.

Each type of virus is linked to different types of mice and it is transmitted to humans when the virus particles in the animal’s urine, waste and saliva reach the air through a person.
There is very little that can be transmitted to an individual by stinging an infected rat, while this can happen even when a human touches the face or nose of an animal’s urine, saliva, or waste. Eat stale or polluted foods.
This virus causes hanta hemorrhagic fever renal condition or hanta virus respiratory disorder.

But it is not yet clear which of the following cases of the virus killed a person in China.
The US firm has clearly stated that there has been no case of the spread of human disease to another person in the United States, but there have been few cases in Chile and Argentina in which one of its variants is close to the people with the Andes virus. On leaving, people became ill.
In fact, at least 11 people were killed in Argentina last year as a result of the virus.
The World Health Organization said in an alert on the occasion that 29 cases were confirmed from October 2018 to January 2019, of which 60% were women or girls.
On this occasion, the World Health Organization reviewed the transition from one person to another, but no further details were available at that time.
But the virus is usually found in areas such as forests, farms or farms where its presence in mice is proven.
The disease usually causes symptoms such as headache, sneezing, fever, vomiting or nausea, cholera and abdominal pain.
The case of the virus came to light in China at a time when the outbreak of the new Corona virus has been largely controlled and that is why people on Twitter have expressed concern about the Hanta virus.
But as mentioned above, it is not as contagious as the corona virus and has no specific treatment or vaccine; however, the patient’s condition can be managed sooner upon diagnosis.
