	Basic facts about HPS and the hantavirus
		Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is an infectious respiratory disease endemic to North and South America.
		In this regard, contracting the hantavirus is very similar to being struck by lighting: (a) it doesn't happen very often, (b) it is worth avoiding, and (c) it can be prevented very easily if you understand how it works.
		A "hantavirus" belongs to a group of RNA virii related to the family Bunyaviridae and, depending on its nature, may be the etiological agent for one of two acute illnesses: hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS).
