· Texas Border Business
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has informed the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) that two Texas residents were aboard the MV Hondius, which recently had a hantavirus outbreak while at sea. The passengers returned to the U.S. before the outbreak was detected. Public health officials in Texas have contacted them, and both report no symptoms and no known exposure to sick individuals on the ship. They will monitor their health daily and report any symptoms. Hantaviruses are primarily transmitted through rodent droppings, with limited person-to-person transmission possible under specific conditions.
