The virus has been reported in every western state except Washington and
many eastern states too. The CDC has an excellent page on it
at http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/hanta/hps/index.htm or
alternatively, just type "hanta virus" into the address bar of IE and other
page suggestions will pop up.
One thing to note this time of year is that it's been found in all of the
National Parks in the USA and hikers and campers are at a somewhat higher
risk. The CDC page has a link to an illustrated Park Service pamphlet on
how to keep yourself reasonably safe from it while out enjoying the summer.
