Hantaviruses are globally distributed zoonotic RNA viruses that spill over from chronically infected rodents, causing HFRS and HPS/HCPS with high mortality driven by capillary leak and organ failure. There is still no globally effective, specific treatment or vaccine, so reducing rodent exposure, maintaining strong surveillance, and providing early, high‑quality supportive care remains the main tools to limit severe disease and death. The aim of this article is to know the brief overview of hantaviruses as major global public health threats causing HPS and HFRS.
