Prospect Hill orthohantavirus is a single-stranded, negative-sense Hantaan-like zoonotic RNA virus isolated from meadow voles and microtine and other cricetid rodents in the United States.^[2] It has a widespread distribution in Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Minnesota and California. The overall risk of infection in humans is low. It was first isolated from a meadow vole found in Prospect Hill, Maryland for which it is named.^[3]

Transmission

Transmission to humans is believed to occur through aerosolized inhalation of mouse excreta and possibly through fomite contamination.^{[citation needed]}
