The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted how quickly zoonotic diseases can spread globally. As a result, scientists worldwide have increased efforts to study viruses circulating in wildlife and improve early detection systems.

A viral 2022 tweet resurfaced during the MV Hondius hantavirus outbreak, fuelling panic online. Experts explain why misinformation spreads during health scares and how people can verify facts before sharing alarming posts.

Hantavirus has become a focal point of discussion as it recently spread on board an Atlantic cruise. Dr Jatin Ahuja, Dr J. Kirtana, and Dr Avi Kumar explain the different treatment protocols for patients.

Two Indian crew members are onboard the MV Hondius cruise ship linked to a deadly hantavirus outbreak that has killed three people. WHO says the virus spreads differently from Covid-19 and does not currently pose a pandemic threat.

Unlike Covid-19, hantavirus cannot be detected using rapid antigen kits. Doctors explain why diagnosis depends on specialised blood tests, PCR analysis and clinical suspicion, especially during severe respiratory illness outbreaks.

While a recent outbreak on the cruise ship involved the Andes strain, the only type known to pass between humans, transmission still requires very close, intimate contact.

A new study shows how the Covid virus may spread more widely by turning resistant lung cells into infection targets, offering clues to severe disease.

The new cicada COVID variant BA.3.2 can infect children 5 times more than the Omicron variant. This is why you need to get your children a booster dose and follow the established protocol to safeguard them.

The BA.3.2 sub-variant was first detected in South Africa in late 2024. The variant has been detected in at least 23 countries worldwide.

New Delhi, April 2 (IANS) A team of researchers has shown that people with long COVID are likely to be at an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

A new Covid-19 subvariant, BA.3.2, nicknamed Cicada, is being tracked in the US and other countries. Experts say it carries multiple mutations, may evade immunity, but currently shows no clear rise in severe illness.

"I never thought of giving up, because feeding people is a blessing. This work came from passion, so it gave me happiness," Amma said.
