Los Angeles.– Nearly 10,000 people who recently stayed in tent cabins at Yosemite National Park risk having contracted the often fatal hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Saturday.
According to a press report, people who stayed in the tents between June 10 and August 24 may be at risk of developing HPS in the next six weeks.
In the past few hours at least two more cases have been detected of the disease that up to now has taken two lives, raising the number of confirmed infections to six, according to the authorities. Other suspected cases are currently undergoing diagnosis.
The CDC urged anyone in that situation to have medical exams in case they feel symptoms associated with the hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, a fairly rare infection but one that can be fatal. It is spread by rats and mice.

The PLD must somehow someway be to blame for the spread of this Virus too!
Good as always to see people more concerned with trashing others than talking about the subject...
More information on this would be a good thing..
What species of rats/mice carry it in the DR?
Hantavirus does not spread between humans.
Rodents carrying the hantavirus have been found in many U.S. national parks. Campers and hikers may be more likely to catch the disease than most people. This is because they pitch tents on the forest floor and lay their sleeping bags down in musty cabins.
However, only a couple of cases have been directly linked to camping or hiking. Most people who are exposed to the virus have come in contact with rodent droppings in their own homes.
joseanPaucidentomys vermidax is also a carrier. Yikes! Stay away.
Again, repetitive, weak, and as usual boring!
