The virus is transmitted by rodents, and different types can cause severe diseases, including Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome, which has a high mortality rate. The virus belongs to the Bunyaviridae family. Transmission can occur without direct physical contact, often through inhaling dried excrement from rodents in contaminated areas. Elderly passengers on ships are particularly vulnerable due to potential pre-existing conditions, leading to more severe illness and higher mortality rates. The patient's wife also died during their transfer from South Africa.
