Presence and Persistence of Andes Virus RNA in Human Semen [PDF]
Viruses, 2023 When infecting humans, Andes orthohantavirus (ANDV) may cause a severe disease called hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS). Following non-specific symptoms, the infection may progress to a syndrome of hemorrhagic fever combined with hyper-acute ...

Human-to-Human Transmission of Andes Virus Modeled in Syrian Hamsters [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023 Several occurrences of human-to-human transmission of Andes virus, an etiological agent of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome, are documented. Syrian hamsters consistently model human hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome, yet neither transmission nor ...

Person-to-Person Transmission of Andes Virus in Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, Argentina, 2014 [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020 Andes virus is unique among hantaviruses because it can be transmitted from person to person. This mechanism was previously supported by epidemiologic data and genetic evidence based only on partial sequences.

Mother-to-Child Transmission of Andes Virus through Breast Milk, Chile [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020 Andes virus (ANDV) is the only hantavirus transmitted between humans through close contact. We detected the genome and proteins of ANDV in breast milk cells from an infected mother in Chile who transmitted the virus to her child, suggesting ...

Person-to-Person Transmission of Andes Virus
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005 Despite the fact that rodents are considered to be the infectious source of hantavirus for humans, another route of transmission was demonstrated. Andes virus (ANDV) has been responsible for most of the cases recorded in Argentina.
