Officials in Arizona are warning about the presence of a Hantavirus known as "Sin Nombre" following the death of a person infected in Kingman. Health officials cautioned that the "Sin Nombre" type is not the same as the Hantavirus "Andes," which made headlines after a deadly outbreak on a cruise ship. This Hantavirus case is related to the Sin Nombre virus strain and is not related to the Andes virus outbreak associated with the MV Hondius cruise ship.

A report from the Mohave County Department of Public Health confirmed that a resident had died from the Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) illness. Officials said the individual's exposure to the virus "could not be determined" and they could not rule out local transmission.
