For some experts, the outbreak is raising broader concerns about how equipped the U.S. is to respond to future infectious disease threats.

The World Health Organization is leading outbreak efforts, but the U.S. is no longer part of the WHO. Here's how that impacts hantavirus communications.

The disease is much deadlier than COVID, but much harder to spread.
