Abstract:
Hantaviruses are zoonotic threats that can cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome and severe cardiopulmonary syndrome. Despite disease severity, there are no approved vaccines or therapeutics available for the prevention or management of hantavirus infections. Here, we discuss advances in the development of vaccines, neutralizing antibodies, and small-molecule antiviral therapeutics.
