The reply from our kraut kanuck in the 'up above' gave a very nice sketch of 
the Hantaviridae. The recent deaths in the American South-west is another 
matter. Sofar my line of info on this is that it appears to be a as yet 
undescribed Hantavirus, but this needs more confirmation. When I get it you'll 
get it. Does anyone from CDC read this newsgroup ?? Flame ! Flame !



Kindest regards,


Robert
