Inside the science of hantavirus transmission: 'Virus not known for human-to-human transmission'

Issued on: 04/05/2026 - 17:46Modified: 04/05/2026 - 18:21

Nadia Massih is pleased to welcome Adam Taylor, Professor of Anatomy at Lancaster University. Global health fears can spread faster than viruses themselves, and so clarity becomes as vital as containment. Professor Taylor, a specialist in the hantavirus, offers an evidence-based perspective on a concerning outbreak aboard a cruise ship near Cape Verde. Balancing scientific rigor with public concern, the professor resists alarmism. He underscores that “this virus is not known for human-to-human transmission” and insists that “the risk is incredibly low,” even as investigations continue.
