At least 80 deaths have been reported in a new Ebola disease outbreak in Congo and Uganda, authorities said.
The cruise ship hit by a deadly hantavirus outbreak has docked at the Dutch port of Rotterdam for disinfection, wrapping up a troubled journey that put world health authorities on alert.
Health officials have identified at least 10 confirmed or suspected cases of hantavirus tied to an outbreak on the M/V Hondius cruise ship.
Genomic analysis showed the virus found aboard the MV Hondius shows no evidence of new characteristics so far.
California public health officials said on Wednesday that they have identified a fifth resident who may have been exposed to the Andes hantavirus due to the outbreak on the MV Hondius cruise ship.
An American on the repatriation flight began showing symptoms of hantavirus and another "tested mildly PCR positive for the Andes virus," the Department of Health and Human Services says.
San Francisco Bay Area health officials provided an update on a resident who was exposed to the hantavirus during a cruise in the Atlantic, adding that the risk to the public remains low.
A Sacramento County resident is among four Californians being monitored for possible exposure to the Andes hantavirus linked to a deadly cruise ship outbreak, state health officials announced.
Most of the Americans who were on a cruise ship hit by a hantavirus outbreak were taken to specialized facilities at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

A San Francisco Bay Area resident who was a passenger on a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean linked to a deadly hantavirus outbreak is being monitored, health officials said.

The MV Hondius is currently traveling to the Canary Islands, where the 147 people on board will be methodically off-boarded and flown home.
American passengers who left the MV Hondius cruise ship in April are being monitored for hantavirus in at least five states, health officials said.
Three passengers have been evacuated from a cruise ship hit by a hantavirus outbreak, as related cases are confirmed in Switzerland and South Africa.
Passengers aboard the ship are in good spirits but may have to quarantine for "eight weeks," a World Health Organization official told CBS News.
