Mouse Virus

Is there any viruses bacteria, or diseases that one may get via airborne by way of feces and urine of mice?

Well the only one I can think of offhand is hantavirus but I've only heard of it in connection with wild deermice.

Can you contract HPS from other animals?

Hantaviruses that cause HPS in the United States are only known to be transmitted by certain species of rodents. HPS in the United States is not known to be transmitted by farm animals, dogs, or cats or from rodents purchased from a pet store.

What about house-mice? I've caught a several, but only one alive. I'm thinking of using it for scenting those wild-caught snakes that sometimes are problem feeders.
