Revisiting Animal Reservoirs of Hantavirus and Other Zoonotic Viruses Associated with Cruise Travel: Impact and Prevention.
Review in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The sustained growth of international maritime tourism and the expansion of the cruise industry have increased the importance of emerging zoonotic diseases as a significant challenge to global public health. Cruise ships constitute complex epidemiological settings characterized by high population density, rapid international mobility, and constant interaction between humans, animals, and coastal environments, factors that favor the introduction and spread of emerging infectious agents. Potential zoonotic concerns include orthohantaviruses and other zoonotic viruses, such as dengue, chikungunya, Zika, yellow fever, and avian influenza, which are associated with animal reservoirs and vectors in ports, tourist destinations, and tropical ecosystems. This review examines the ecology of animal reservoirs of orthohantaviruses and other zoonotic pathogens relevant to maritime tourism, including peri-urban rodents, bats, migratory birds, and other mammals. It discusses how climate change, coastal urbanization, and environmental change affect viral transmission dynamics. It highlights epidemiological risks linked to international cruises, particularly exposure during ecotourism excursions, pathogen introduction, and challenges for maritime surveillance. The review also addresses travel medicine, biosecurity, and infection control, emphasizing a One Health approach. Strengthening integrated surveillance and prevention systems is essential to ensure safer, more sustainable, and resilient maritime tourism in the 21st century.
