The state of Michigan says it has confirmed the first case of hantavirus, a disease passed from rodents to humans, in a woman who was cleaning a vacant home in Washtenaw County.

According to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), the state’s first confirmed human case of Sin Nombre hantavirus was detected in the state. The MDHHS said the woman who tested positive was likely exposed when she was cleaning an unoccupied dwelling that had signs of an active rodent infestation. The Sin Nombre virus is spread by the deer mouse and white-footed mouse.

Hantavirus was first found in the southwest part of the United States in 1993. The virus causes the hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) and, since it was first discovered, has been found to infect people throughout the United States and Americas.
