Venezuela Hantavirus Cases Confirmed | Irvine News
Description
Venezuela confirms three hantavirus deaths this week, all in rural areas of Anzoátegui and Barinas — isolated incidents with no evidence of person-to-person spread. Health teams are on the ground as officials stress the virus is typically transmitted via rodents. This follows a deadly cruise ship outbreak earlier this year linked to the Andes hantavirus, which has no cure or vaccine and sparked global concern over rare human-to-human transmission. Argentina’s investigation into the cruise ship’s origin has ruled out Ushuaia and Mendoza, clearing both areas after testing rodents.
