Almost the only unknown that remains to be known about the arrival operation of the luxury cruise ship MVHondius on the island of Tenerife is the time it will drop anchor to remain anchored until the Spanish authorities order the disembarkation. The good sea conditions have meant that the ship is making good progress and this Friday it was said that the vessel would arrive on Saturday afternoon and not Sunday morning, as had been planned. Despite this advancement, the night will be allowed to pass before the machinery is started to disembark the 151 people on board, counting 147 passengers and crew and four professionals who boarded in Cape Verde to assist them. For the moment, the toll of the outbreak remains at five confirmed infections, in addition to the three who have died, and the World Health Organization (WHO) is confident that no more passengers will test positive.

A 32-year-old woman is isolated in an Alicante hospital with symptoms compatible with hantavirus, while the National Microbiology Center analyzes her biological samples. On April 25, she was on the plane for a few minutes that the passenger of the hantavirus cruise who died in Johannesburg tried to board. The cruise passenger, who was the wife of the man who died from the infection aboard the Hondius and who is considered the first affected by the outbreak, was rapidly evacuated from the aircraft before takeoff when her condition deteriorated.

Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by different species of the fungus Candida. It is usually treatable and causes few complications. A fairly common yeast infection is one that occurs in the vagina and involves itching, redness, and discomfort, as well as abnormal vaginal discharge. In fact, there are different factors that can lead to fungal growth: especially humidity and heat.

A study by the University of Valencia has detected around thirty infectious agents at ground zero of the DANA (National Flood Control Center), which caused severe flooding in the Valencian Community in October. All are pathogens, can cause illness in humans, and were detected in environmental samples of water, mud, and soil taken during the first three weeks after the downpours. Some can be fatal, the researchers warn, while others cause nothing more than diarrhea. Researchers will continue analyzing samples from the area for two or three more years, as there are potential risks of individual infections or long-term epidemics. This is intended to facilitate hospital diagnoses and contribute to the improvement of prevention protocols for similar disasters.
