Abstract Hantavirus is a rare but potentially fatal zoonotic infection that primarily affects the lungs and kidneys, with transmission typically occurring through infected rodents. Recent attention has focused on a 2026 outbreak aboard the MV Hondius , involving the Andes virus strain, which is uniquely capable of limited human-to-human transmission.
