A team of Argentine scientists collects traps at different points across Ushuaia and retrieves dead rats to test for the hantavirus outbreak on the MV Hondius cruise ship.
Argentine scientists collect traps placed at different points across Ushuaia, Argentina, as part of an investigation for the source of the hantavirus outbreak on the MV Hondius cruise ship.
They slog through mud to retrieve dead rats, which are placed into black plastic bags for transport to a makeshift lab for blood sample collection. The Malbrán Institute, Argentina's leading research center for infectious diseases, coordinates the investigation. The team's objective is to capture dead rats in two areas where a subspecies of colilargo rat is found and to draw blood samples for testing.
The investigation aims to determine if the province of Tierra del Fuego has hantavirus at a time of global warming, as there have been increasing cases of hantavirus across Argentina
