Andes Virus and First Case Report of Bermejo Virus Causing Fatal Pulmonary Syndrome [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002 Two suspected hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) cases from Bolivia were confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. (ELISA)-ANDES was performed using N-Andes recombinant antigen serology in May and July 2000.

Small interfering RNA inhibition of Andes virus replication. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Andes virus (ANDV) is the most common causative agent of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in the Americas, and is the only hantavirus associated with human-to-human transmission. Case fatality rates of ANDV-induced HPS are approximately 40%. There are

New Andes virus isolate haplotype obtained during prospective close contacts follow-up of an Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome fatal case, Chile [PDF]
Current Research in Microbial SciencesAndes virus (ANDV) is a zoonotic orthohantavirus that causes hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome. Transmission occurs mainly through contact with infected rodent excreta and, less frequently, between humans. Viral isolation from human samples is rare; in

The Changing Landscape of Hantavirus Infections: A Narrative Review of Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, and Countermeasures [PDF]
Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 5, September 2026.ABSTRACT Hantaviruses are emerging zoonotic pathogens of increasing global public health significance. Their epidemiological landscape is rapidly changing due to ecological disruption, climate variability, urbanisation, and evolving human–animal interfaces.

Development of a lentiviral vector system to study the role of the Andes virus glycoproteins
Virus Research, 2010 To infect target cells, enveloped viruses use their virion surface proteins to direct cell attachment and subsequent entry via virus-cell membrane fusion. How hantaviruses enter cells has been largely unexplored. To study early steps of Andes virus (ANDV) cell infection, a lentiviral vector system was developed based on a Simian immunodeficiency virus (

Person-to-Person Transmission of Andes Virus (ANDV): A Systematic Review of Transmission Dynamics, Viral Shedding, and Public Health Implications [PDF]
VirusesAndes virus (ANDV) is the only hantavirus with well-documented evidence of person-to-person transmission. However, key parameters related to transmission timing, viral shedding, exposure contexts, and public health management remain incompletely defined.
