科學家批評WHO對MV Hondius安地斯漢他病毒事件的公開訊息過於強調「風險低」,忽略潛在空氣或短距離吸入傳播的可能性。 安地斯病毒是唯一已知可在人與人之間傳播的漢他病毒,而郵輪群組感染情況非常罕見 [1][3][10]。 部分專家在《BMJ》評論中呼籲WHO在面對可能涉及呼吸道傳播的新疫情時,應優先採取預防性空氣防護措施 [6][7]。

Article summary: Scientists are criticizing WHO for publicly reassuring that the MV Hondius Andes hantavirus risk is low while, in their view, not giving enough weight to plausible airborne or short range inhalation risk and not applying.

MV Hondius 探險郵輪爆發的安地斯漢他病毒(Andes virus)群組感染,雖然病例數仍然不多,但已引起全球病毒學家與公共衛生專家的關注。部分研究人員批評世界衛生組織(WHO)在公開溝通上過於強調「風險低」,認為在傳播機制仍未完全釐清之前,應該更早採取強化的呼吸道防護策略。
目前這宗事件特別受關注,因為安地斯病毒是唯一已知可以在人與人之間傳播的漢他病毒,而在郵輪這類密閉、長時間共處的環境出現群組感染更是前所未見 [1][

一些專門研究空氣傳播病毒的科學家認為,WHO對風險的公開表述過於保守。馬里蘭大學空氣傳播病毒專家 Don Milton 等人在《BMJ》評論中呼籲,國際公共衛生機構應改變對新興呼吸道威脅的「預設反應」,在證據尚未完全確定時就採取更強的預防措施 [6][

研究人員亦指出,郵輪上出現漢他病毒感染在醫學史上幾乎沒有先例,因此感染究竟發生在船上、登船前,還是經其他途徑傳播,目前仍有很多未知數 [3]。
目前沒有確鑿證據證明病毒在船上經空氣廣泛傳播,但一些生物學與環境因素令專家認為不能完全排除。
在郵輪環境中,乘客會長時間共用室內空氣,例如:
WHO對外溝通主要強調:
但同時,WHO與ECDC提供的實際應對建議卻包含多項較嚴格的防控措施,例如:
部分研究者認為,這造成一種觀感上的矛盾:公開訊息顯得安撫,但實際操作卻假設事件可能較為嚴重。
多名科學家和公共衛生機構建議,在仍有不確定性時採取更保守的防護策略,包括:
WHO表示,目前沒有跡象顯示出現更大規模爆發,但由於病毒潛伏期較長,未來幾星期仍可能出現新病例 [16]。
儘管病例數仍然有限,這宗事件在公共衛生上仍然重要,原因包括:
因此,專家普遍認為:毋須恐慌,但亦不應掉以輕心。
