first American case of the deadly Andes strain of hantavirus was confirmed following a major outbreak onboard the MV Hondius cruise ship near Tenerife. At least three people have died as multiple countries launch emergency evacuation missions to airlift infected passengers home under strict biosecurity measures. US citizens are being transported inside special biocontainment units while health officials monitor possible human-to-human transmission. The WHO has issued a global warning as the rare Andes strain — capable of spreading between humans — raises fears of a wider international health crisis.
