Arizona could see more cases than usual this year of hantavirus, a rare but deadly disease. Dave Engelthaler, executive director of ASU's Health Observatory, explains the potential tie to El Niño and what people can do to protect themselves: ow.ly/f2af50ZiRXN

Close-up of a brown mouse with virus particles around it, enclosed by the shape of Arizona. Type reads, "What Arizona should understand about hantavirus. Dave Engelthaler, executive director of ASU’s Health Observatory, answers questions about risk, prevention and the role of El Niño."Close-up 3D illustration of the hantavirus particle with purple and blue spikes on a blurred blue background. Type reads, "Hantavirus in Arizona is incredibly rare. There are typically fewer than five cases every year in Arizona. It is a very serious disease with a fatality rate of 30-40%. The strain found here doesn’t spread person to person. The strain we have in the Southwest and Arizona is the Sin Nombre virus, which is different from the strain on the cruise ship."Background of cloudy sky with rain over a canyon. A quote reads, "Hantavirus risk tends to increase after strong El Niño events. Forecasters are predicting what some are calling ‘super’ El Niño this year. While we can’t know exactly what will happen, we can anticipate the same chain of events: increased rainfall, larger rodent populations, more infected rodents and potentially a higher risk of human cases. Dave Engelthaler. Executive director of ASU’s Health Observatory."Small photo of HEPA-filtered face mask in lower right. Type reads, "How to protect yourself. Prevention. Keep mice from getting into your home or outbuildings. Protection. If you see mouse droppings or nests, do not sweep or vacuum them up. That can stir the virus into the air. Instead, spray droppings with 10% bleach, Lysol or a similar “viricidal” solution and let it soak for about 10 minutes. Then use wet rags to clean the area, and wear gloves and a HEPA-filtered mask, when possible."
