UM Warns Of Hantavirus In Missoula County

The University says that it’s been in contact with county and state offices of public health. At this time neither Missoula county nor the state are confirming the Hantavirus infection.

Humans can contract Hantavirus through exposure to rodent feces and urine. The CDC recommends eliminating or minimizing contact with rodents to help prevent hantavirus.
