Argentina is experiencing a surge in hantavirus cases, with 101 infections reported since June 2025, roughly double the caseload of the previous year. The Andes virus, prevalent in South America, has a mortality rate of nearly a third of cases. This increase is linked to climate change, and authorities are investigating a hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship that departed from Ushuaia. A case was reported in Bariloche, Río Negro Province, and an alert was issued for Buenos Aires province.
