Possible Source: Health officials suspect the Dutch couple may have been infected before boarding the ship in Argentina. However, investigators are also looking at whether there was human-to-human transmission among close contacts on board, which would likely involve the rare Andes virus strain.

However, some experts note that because hantavirus has a long incubation period—up to eight weeks—it is still possible the victims were all infected on land in Argentina before the ship ever sailed.The WHO is currently conducting viral sequencing to identify the exact strain and confirm if this is indeed a rare instance of sustained human transmission.
