A suspected hantavirus outbreak on the Dutch-flagged expedition vessel MV Hondius has killed three passengers and left 149 people stranded off Cape Verde, with WHO investigators raising the possibility of rare human-to-human transmission of the Andes virus. The case — involving seven confirmed or suspected infections among 147 passengers and crew representing 23 nationalities — has triggered an international response spanning five countries and reignited scientific debate over whether hantaviruses can spread between people outside of extremely close household contact.
