The World Health Organisation has confirmed the on board outbreak as hantavirus, a disease spread by rodents. At least four Aussies are among the 150 passengers now stuck on board the cruise liner, with the risk of the virus spreading.  Today we're breaking down what hantavirus is, how it got onto the ship, and what's happening to those still on board.
