Ep. 86 - What Canadian Public Health Needs to Know About Hantavirus
This episode of Infectious Questions podcast explores the Hantavirus, a rodent-borne virus that can cause severe and potentially life-threatening illness in humans. In this episode, we discuss the virus's morphology and classification, how it is transmitted through exposure to infected rodent droppings, urine, and saliva, and the signs and symptoms of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS).
We sat down with Dr. Lynora Saxinger (an infectious diseases specialist) to examine the epidemiology of Hantavirus in Canada, populations at increased risk of exposure, and the public health implications of this emerging zoonotic disease. We also discuss prevention strategies, surveillance efforts, and key messages for public health professionals, healthcare providers, and community leaders. Whether you work in public health, infectious diseases, environmental health, or emergency preparedness, this episode provides practical insights to support awareness, risk communication, and disease prevention in Canadian communities.
