In May 2026, three passengers died from hantavirus on a cruise ship in the Atlantic. Contact tracing is now active across nine countries. The Andes strain has been confirmed - the only hantavirus capable of human-to-human transmission.
But you don't need to be on a cruise ship. Hantavirus has always lived in rodent droppings, urine, and saliva. When dried contamination is disturbed - by a broom, a vacuum, even footsteps - invisible particles go airborne. The CDC says this is how most household infections happen.
There is no antiviral treatment. There is no vaccine. The case fatality rate is 20-40%. The only defence is prevention.
