Hantavirus outbreak on cruise ship MV Hondius kills three, prompts evacuation and quarantine off Cape Verde
The MV Hondius cruise ship, carrying approximately 149 passengers and crew from 23 countries, experienced a hantavirus outbreak resulting in three deaths — a Dutch couple and a German national — after departing Argentina. Two laboratory-confirmed and five suspected cases were reported aboard, with Spain agreeing to allow the ship to dock in the Canary Islands while medical evacuations were arranged. The WHO investigated the outbreak, noting that human-to-human transmission via the Andes virus strain could not be ruled out.
