Keelung Man Bitten by Rat Becomes Taiwan's Third Hantavirus Case
Taiwan has confirmed its third hantavirus case this year after a 40-year-old man was bitten by a rat at work. He developed a fever but has since recovered. Officials confirmed all three local cases contracted the Seoul variant of the virus, which does not transmit between humans and is different from the strain linked to a deadly outbreak on a Dutch cruise ship.
