Here’s what you need to know, from why the cruise ship outbreak won’t spark the next pandemic to how hantavirus spreads.

The CDC is playing an unusually small, and quiet, role in responding to the hantavirus outbreak.

While the outbreak aboard a cruise ship in the Atlantic is concerning, the virus isn’t easily transmitted through casual contact.

Leaving the WHO means the U.S. lacks access to necessary information about infectious disease.

A rodent-borne illness is suspected of causing an outbreak aboard a cruise ship that has killed three people and sickened others. Here's what to know about hantavirus.

Dr. Salman Khan, an infectious disease specialist, traveled to Gaza on a three-week medical mission in February 2026. He found infectious diseases running rampant, all directly due to Israel's siege and genocide.
