A deadly outbreak of suspected hantavirus on a Dutch cruise ship off the coast of West Africa this month has raised concerns about disease spread during the summer travel season.
Three passengers have died and three others are receiving medical care - although health officials have only confirmed three hantavirus cases so far, according to shipowner Oceanwide Expeditions. The ship, known as the MV Hondius, has 17 Americans on board, including Boston travel blogger Jake Rosmarin.
