全球各地的卫生官员正在持续监控一场与一艘目前正驶向西班牙加那利群岛的荷兰籍邮轮相关的致命汉坦病毒疫情。截至目前，已有8例确诊或疑似病例，其中3人死亡。
根据美国疾病控制与预防中心的信息，汉坦病毒是一类罕见病毒，通常通过接触受污染的啮齿动物粪便或唾液传播给人类。这类病毒常引发肺部和呼吸道不适症状，严重程度不一。此次“洪迪厄斯号”（M/V Hondius）邮轮疫情中确认的毒株为安第斯病毒，这是已知唯一可在人际间传播的汉坦病毒毒株。卫生官员表示，传播需通过长时间密切接触。
世界卫生组织称，包括4月底邮轮停靠后离境回国的公民，以及与确诊病例同乘一班航班的人员在内，多个国家正在开展调查、接触者追踪和隔离防控措施。邮轮运营商海洋远征探险公司（Oceanwide Expeditions）周四表示，目前船上无人出现病毒感染症状。
该机构流行病和大流行防范与预防主任玛丽亚·范·克霍夫周四在新闻发布会上告诉记者，这些公共卫生措施仍在持续，加上汉坦病毒可能存在较长潜伏期，意味着仍有可能出现更多病例。
以下是目前已确认或疑似的病例相关信息。
荷兰夫妇被认为是首批病例
世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞周四表示，海洋远征探险公司称一名70岁荷兰男子于4月11日在船上死亡。他于4月6日出现症状，距今不到一周。
谭德塞称，由于他的症状与其他呼吸道疾病相似，去世当时并未怀疑是汉坦病毒感染，也未采集样本。但目前他被认为是船上首例汉坦病毒病例。
该男子69岁的妻子于4月24日邮轮停靠圣赫勒拿岛时离船。圣赫勒拿岛是大西洋上英国的偏远海外领地，当时有多名其他乘客在此下船。她在前往约翰内斯堡的航班途中“病情恶化”，两天后在南非去世。她的血液后续检测结果呈安第斯株汉坦病毒阳性。
世卫组织称，这对荷兰夫妇于4月1日登船前，曾在阿根廷、智利和乌拉圭进行观鸟之旅，到访过已知携带安第斯病毒的鼠类出没的地点。
谭德塞周四表示，已对该妻子从圣赫勒拿岛飞往约翰内斯堡的航班上的其他乘客开展接触者追踪。他还告诉记者，世卫组织正与圣赫勒拿岛离境乘客所属国籍的国家开展合作。
英国乘客在南非住院
世卫组织称，4月24日，一名英国成年男性因呼吸道症状和其他肺炎迹象前往邮轮医务室就诊。
他的症状在4月26日有所加重，因此该乘客于次日从阿森松岛被医疗撤离至南非，随后一直在重症监护室接受治疗。南非卫生官员和世卫组织称，检测确认该男子感染了安第斯病毒。
范·克霍夫周四表示，在官员此前称其病情危重后，该男子的健康状况正在改善。
德国女子在船上死亡
官员称，另一名德国乘客于5月2日在“洪迪厄斯号”上死亡。世卫组织表示，该女子最初于4月28日出现发烧症状，最终出现肺炎症状。邮轮运营商称，她的遗体仍在船上。
3人被撤离至荷兰
官员称，周三有3人从邮轮上被撤离并飞往荷兰接受治疗。
其中两人分别为一名荷兰乘客和一名英国船员，出现了病毒感染症状，海洋远征探险公司称他们的病情危重。范·克霍夫表示，世卫组织周四获悉两人情况“稳定”。
第三名被撤离的乘客为德国籍，周三时未出现汉坦病毒感染症状，但与5月2日去世的德国女子有密切接触。邮轮运营商称，该人员已返回德国，世卫组织补充道。
瑞士男子检测呈阳性
据瑞士卫生官员和世卫组织消息，一名在圣赫勒拿岛下船的瑞士男子安第斯株汉坦病毒检测呈阳性。官员周三称，该男子出现症状后在苏黎世接受了检测并正在当地接受治疗。
瑞士公共卫生局称，与他一同登船的妻子未出现任何症状，但出于预防措施正在自我隔离。
国际监测工作
谭德塞表示，世卫组织已与至少12个国家的官员取得联系，这些国家正在监控从圣赫勒拿岛离船回国的本国公民。这些国家包括加拿大、丹麦、德国、荷兰、新西兰、圣基茨和尼维斯、新加坡、瑞典、瑞士、土耳其、英国和美国。
在美国，五个州的卫生机构表示正在监控曾登船的人员：佐治亚州和德克萨斯州各2人，亚利桑那州和弗吉尼亚州各1人，加利福尼亚州人数未公开。卫生部门称，这些人员均未出现症状。
法国卫生部称，已确认8名法国公民与在从圣赫勒拿岛飞往约翰内斯堡的航班上因汉坦病毒去世的荷兰女子有接触。该部门周四表示，其中一人出现轻微症状，诊断检测正在进行中。其余人员已被提供隔离措施和检测渠道。

Health officials around the world are continuing to monitor a deadly hantavirus outbreak tied to a Dutch-flagged cruise ship currently headed toward Spain’s Canary Islands. So far, eight cases have been confirmed or suspected, and three of those people have died.
Hantaviruses are a family of rare viruses usually passed to humans through contact with contaminated rodent waste or saliva. They often present with symptoms of pulmonary and respiratory distress that can be severe, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The strain identified in the outbreak on the M/V Hondius cruise ship is called the Andes virus, which is the only known hantavirus strain to spread person to person. Transmission occurs through prolonged close contact, health officials say.
Investigations, contact tracing efforts and isolation protocols were underway in a number of countries to which citizens returned after leaving the cruise on a stop at the end of April, as well as for people on a flight with one of the confirmed cases, the World Health Organization said. No one currently on the ship has symptoms of the virus, the ship operator Oceanwide Expeditions said Thursday.
Maria Van Kerkhove, the agency’s director of epidemic and pandemic preparedness and prevention, told reporters at a news conference Thursday that the ongoing nature of those public health measures — and the hantavirus’ potentially lengthy incubation period — meant more cases could still emerge.
Here’s what to know about the ones confirmed or suspected so far.
Dutch couple believed to be first cases
Oceanwide Expeditions said a 70-year-old Dutch man died aboard the ship on April 11. He developed symptoms less than a week earlier, on April 6, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Thursday.
Because his symptoms were similar to those of other respiratory diseases, hantavirus was not suspected at the time of his death, and no samples were taken, Tedros said. However, he is now believed to be the first hantavirus case on the ship.
The man’s 69-year-old wife left the cruise ship on April 24 when it docked in Saint Helena, a remote British island territory in the Atlantic Ocean where a number of other passengers also disembarked. She died two days later in South Africa, after her condition “deteriorated during a flight to Johannesburg,” the WHO said. Her blood later tested positive for the Andes strain of hantavirus.
Before boarding the cruise ship on April 1, the Dutch couple had taken a bird-watching trip through Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, visiting sites where the species of rat known to carry the Andes virus was present, according to the WHO.
Contact tracing procedures were in place for others who were on the wife’s flight from Saint Helena to Johannesburg, Tedros said Thursday. He also told reporters that the WHO was working with countries of which the others who disembarked in Saint Helena are citizens.
British passenger hospitalized in South Africa
On April 24, an adult man from the United Kingdom presented to the cruise ship’s doctor with respiratory symptoms and other signs of pneumonia, according to the WHO.
His symptoms had worsened by April 26, so the passenger was medically evacuated a day later from the island of Ascension to South Africa, where he remained hospitalized in an intensive care unit. Tests confirmed that the man had contracted the Andes virus, South African health officials and the WHO said.
Van Kerkhove said on Thursday the man’s health status was improving after officials previously described him as critically ill.
German woman died aboard the ship
Another passenger, from Germany, died aboard the Hondius on May 2, officials said. According to the WHO, the woman initially developed a fever on April 28 and eventually presented with symptoms of pneumonia. Her body was still on the ship, the cruise operator said.
3 evacuated to the Netherlands
Officials said three people were evacuated from the ship Wednesday and flown to the Netherlands to receive medical care.
Two of them, a Dutch passenger and a British crew member, showed symptoms of the virus, and Oceanwide Expeditions described their conditions as serious. Van Kerkhove said the WHO had learned both were “stable” on Thursday.
The third person evacuated, a German passenger, was not showing symptoms of hantavirus Wednesday but had been closely associated with the German woman who died on May 2, the cruise operator said. That person has since returned to Germany, the WHO said.
Swiss man tested positive
A Swiss man who disembarked the cruise ship in Saint Helena tested positive for the Andes strain of hantavirus, according to Swiss health officials and the WHO. The man developed symptoms and underwent testing in Zurich, where he is receiving care, officials said Wednesday.
The man’s wife, who was with him on the cruise, had not shown any symptoms, but was self-isolating as a precaution, the Swiss public health agency said.
International monitoring efforts
The WHO is in touch with officials in at least 12 countries who are monitoring citizens that returned home after disembarking the ship in Saint Helena, Tedros said. Those countries include Canada, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Singapore, Sweden Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States.
In the U.S., the health agencies of five states have said they are monitoring people who were on the ship: two each in Georgia and Texas, one each in Arizona and Virginia, and an unspecified number in California. None of the individuals were showing symptoms, the health departments said.
The French Ministry of Health said it has identified eight French nationals who had contact with the Dutch woman who died from hantavirus on her flight from Saint Helena to Johannesburg. One of those individuals has shown mild symptoms and diagnostic testing was pending, the agency said Thursday. The others were offered isolation measures and access to testing, according to the agency.
