Hantavirus symptoms can often start off feeling like a typical flu — with fever, fatigue, muscle aches, headaches, and sometimes nausea. Because these symptoms are common, they can easily be overlooked in the early stages.

However, it’s important to know when symptoms become more serious. If you experience shortness of breath, coughing, or difficulty breathing, seek medical care immediately. Early attention can make a meaningful difference.

🦠 Hantavirus explained: Hantavirus is a rare viral infection that people can get through exposure to rodents and their droppings. It is not easily spread between people, and with the right precautions, the risk remains low.

Understanding how it spreads is the first step to protecting yourself and those around you.

Dengue fever continues to pose a growing risk for corporate travellers operating in tropical regions.

Recent findings from Brazil highlight promising progress with the TAK-003 dengue vaccine, showing reduced rates of symptomatic illness and hospitalisation. However, the vaccine is not yet available in South Africa.

In the meantime, prevention remains your strongest line of defence.

✔️ Prioritise mosquito bite protection
✔️ Ensure safe accommodation and environmental controls
✔️ Conduct pre-deployment medical risk assessments
