Abstract

Hantaviruses belong to Bunyaviridae family. They are the cause of two diseases dangerous for human: in Asia and Europe hemorrhagic fever with renal syndorme; in Americas hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome. Most of hantaviruses are being spread by rodents, however other small mammals also can be the reservoir. Hantavirus infections are difficult to distinguish, because of the similar clinical symptoms to those caused by other hemorrhagic fever viruses.
