But New Mexico has reported a 4th case of Hanta virus.
Hantavirus infection is transmitted by infected rodents through urine, droppings or saliva. People can contract the disease when they breathe in aerosolized virus.
I was working in NM in 1999 after the bad outbreak... only one case in our area and none in our IHS hospital. But we had to screen for it...
