The World Health Organization is managing an international hantavirus outbreak linked to the cruise ship MV Hondius, where three people have died following exposure in Argentina.Confirmed cases have since emerged in South Africa, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, prompting urgent contact tracing and medical evacuations.While the Andes strain is primarily zoonotic, authorities are investigating the possibility of human-to-human transmission as the ship remains anchored near Cape Verde.Health officials are currently tracking passengers from a flight to Johannesburg to prevent further spread of the deadly virus after several initial victims succumbed to the disease.
