Deadly Andes Hantavirus Outbreak on Antarctic Cruise Ship Sparks Global Attention — But WHO Says Risk Remains Low.
-A luxury Antarctic cruise turned tragic after a rare outbreak of Andes hantavirus on board the MV Hondius, traveling from Argentina, claimed three lives and left several other passengers critically ill. The ship, which carried travelers exploring the icy waters near Patagonia, became the unexpected center of a global health alert when multiple passengers developed severe respiratory symptoms mid-voyage.
-The World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed that the culprit is the Andes virus, a unique hantavirus strain capable of limited person-to-person transmission — unlike most other hantaviruses, which usually spread only through contact with infected rodents. This distinction has drawn swift international scrutiny, though WHO officials stress that the risk to the general public remains “exceptionally low.”
