''An outbreak of an obscure and
fast-spreading decease – a pulmonary syndrome caused by hantavirus – was
reported in the US Yosemite National Park. No specific cure for
hantavirus being on record up to date, three people are already dead and
around 8,000 guests are thought to be at risk of having contracted it
during their stays in the park's tent cabins in June-August. According
to USA Today
and other sources, the threat actually hangs over 22,000 tourists
including 2,500 foreign nationals from 40 countries, who visited the
Yosemite National Park last summer. The disease is known to be
rodent-born and, supposedly, can be passed from human to human. ''
