Summary[edit]

Description

Researchers found that contact with rodents and their waste puts humans at risk for exposure to hantavirus. Massive rainfall associated with the 1991-92 El Niño boosted plant productivity. Feasting on the more abundant plant matter, the rodent population grew. Increased contact with rodents and their waste put more humans at risk for exposure to hantavirus.
