Ushuaïa (Argentine) (AFP) – Equipped with gloves, masks and protective gear, a group of 11 specialists and national park staff are deployed on the trails near Baliza Escarpados, in Argentina’s Tierra del Fuego, to install traps in an effort to capture rodents that may be hantavirus carriers. The mission is critical since the outbreak aboard the Hondius led to three deaths and triggered global alarm. IMAGES
