Hantavirus causes respiratory disease. The cruise ship cluster is grabbing attention because of the person-to-person transmission via the Andes strain, and because passengers from many countries disembarked before the outbreak was detected. The colalarga rat transmitted the mutated Hantavirus to a passenger of the cruise ship, killing several other passengers. Now they are trying to localize those who came into contact with an infected persons. One woman who flew in the same plane has been identified, and she is dead. They are trying to stop the epidemic before it endangers the whole world.
