The passengers have remained under preventive quarantine since being evacuated from Tenerife amid concerns over potential transmission linked to the outbreak aboard the expedition cruise ship.<\/p>\n
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), Hantaviruses are zoonotic viruses primarily carried by rodents and can occasionally infect humans through exposure to contaminated urine, droppings or saliva.<\/p>\n
The disease can cause severe and potentially fatal illness, though symptoms and complications vary depending on the strain and geographical region.<\/p>\n
In the Americas, Hantavirus infection is associated with Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome (HCPS), a rapidly progressing condition that severely affects the lungs and heart.<\/p>\n
In Europe and Asia, the virus is more commonly linked to Haemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS), which impacts the kidneys and blood vessels.<\/p>\n
There is currently no specific cure for Hantavirus infection. Health experts say early supportive treatment and close monitoring of respiratory, cardiac and kidney complications remain critical for improving survival rates.<\/p>\n
Prevention largely depends on limiting human exposure to infected rodents and contaminated environments.<\/p>\n
