An outbreak of Andes hantavirus aboard the Dutch cruise ship MV Hondius has killed three passengers and sickened at least 11, with one French woman placed on an artificial lung (ECMO) as her condition deteriorated. The cluster — traced to a Dutch couple who visited a garbage dump in Argentina — has scattered potentially exposed passengers across the U.S., Europe, and beyond, testing a diminished CDC and raising questions about whether global health systems can contain a rare but lethal virus that, unlike most hantaviruses, can spread between humans.
