People can be at risk of contracting hantavirus if they come into contact with deer mice, according to the Saskatchewan Health Ministry.

Coronavirus anxiety has inspired uninformed fears of the hantavirus, a decades-old disease that doesn't spread between humans.

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Health says deer mice are the primary carriers of hantavirus and the risk of contracting infection increases as the weather warms up.

If you plan on cleaning out a shed or barn after the winter you'll want to be on the lookout for rodent droppings.

Dr. David Williams says the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care is investigating three human cases of Seoul virus among people who had prolonged contact with rats. Williams says no serious health problems have been reported.

Mice may look like cute, adorable creatures, but the reality is they can be full of disease, do damage to your home and generally do not make good roommates.

Provincial health officials are confirming a second person in Saskatchewan has died from hantavirus.

Health officials in Saskatchewan have confirmed the first fatal case of Hantavirus in the province for 2014.

Alberta Health Services is issuing a warning, after someone in rural central Alberta contracted hantavirus.
