The virus is usually found in rats. One passenger is thought to have caught the virus while birdwatching in Ushuaia, Argentina, where the ship's journey began. The virus does not easily spread between people, but people who do catch it often die. The World Health Organisation has said that there is no sign of a larger outbreak at the moment, but as the disease takes a long time to develop, this could change. Many countries have taken action to isolate or quarantine their citizens who returned from the ship.
