Hemorrhagic fever is a natural infectious disease caused by Hantavirus. The main source of transmission of this disease is small rodents, including wild rats and domestic rats. The specific names are Apodemus agrarius, Apodemus Dalbergii, Rattus norvegicus and Rattus domesticus. From the point of view of controlling the source of infection, rodent control is the key and fundamental measure to eliminate the disease.

For any infectious disease, we should prevent it from three aspects: controlling the source of infection, cutting off the route of transmission and protecting the susceptible population. Therefore, in order to effectively prevent epidemic hemorrhagic fever, it is not enough to prevent and kill rats, but also to cut off the transmission route and protect susceptible people. Doing a good job in diet, environment and personal hygiene and developing good living habits are the key to cutting off the transmission route. From the susceptible population, most of the patients with the disease are farmers, because their working environment is easy to contact with small rodents, so strengthening the vaccination of this group of people is also to control the spread of epidemic hemorrhagic fever. Because hantavirus is susceptible to all people, it is necessary to carry out large-scale vaccination.

For us personally, what we can do is to cut off the route of transmission and pay attention to personal hygiene. Because Hantavirus is easy to spread through respiratory tract and digestive tract, wearing a mask, inhaling before and after meals and taking a bath frequently are all good ways to protect yourself from hemorrhagic fever. Doing these basic things well in life can not only prevent hemorrhagic fever, but also keep other common diseases away from you and me.

In addition, take the initiative to vaccinate related vaccines. The essence of vaccine is to inactivate or attenuate the virus and establish its own immune barrier. Even if we are exposed to the pathogen of hemorrhagic fever in the future, the antibodies in our bodies can quickly destroy Hantavirus, so we don't have to endure the pain when the disease occurs.
