Description
What even are hantaviruses? Why are we hearing about them in the news, and what do we actually need to know about them? This short talk is a crash course in the major types of hantaviruses, the diseases they cause, how they are transmitted, and how they are detected in the lab. We’ll discuss ways to protect ourselves, and why they continue to attract scientific and public health interest.
