From Norovirus to Andes Hantavirus: Indirect Viral Transmission and Emerging Prevention Strategies for Cruise Ship and Confined Environments [PDF]

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Cruise ships and other confined travel settings remain highly vulnerable to infectious disease outbreaks. During 2025–2026, multiple norovirus outbreaks and the rare Andes hantavirus outbreak associated with the MV Hondius cruise highlighted the continuing public health challenges posed by both highly transmissible enteric viruses and emerging

Andes virus and sin nombre virus: Similarities and distinctive features. [PDF]

Bioinformation
The threat of hanta virus infection has come to the forefront in recent weeks, following the outbreak of the Andes virus aboard the Dutch-flagged MV Hondius cruise ship during its Spring 2026 voyage. Several passengers and crew members got infected because Andes virus is the sole known hanta virus to trigger human-to-human infection.

Ribavirin post-exposure prophylaxis for Andes virus exposure: a viewpoint. [PDF]

EBioMedicine
Andes virus (ANDV) is unique among hantaviruses because person-to-person transmission ispossible. This raises questions on the relevance of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), particularlyfollowing high-risk household, healthcare-associated, or laboratory exposures, considering itshigh case fatality rate.

Modeling the Immune Response for Pathogenic and Nonpathogenic Orthohantavirus Infections in Human Lung Microvasculature Endothelial Cells

Viruses, 2023
Hantaviruses, genus Orthohantavirus, family Hantaviridae, order Bunyavirales, are negative-sense, single-stranded, tri-segmented RNA viruses that persistently infect rodents, shrews, and moles. Of these, only certain virus species harbored by rodents are

Andes Virus Infection of Cynomolgus Macaques [PDF]

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2002
Andes virus (ANDV), a member of the genus Hantavirus, is a causative agent of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) and is the only hantavirus known to be transmissible from person to person. HPS is found in North and South America and is often fatal.

A lethal disease model for New World hantaviruses using immunosuppressed Syrian hamsters. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
Hantavirus, the hemorrhagic causative agent of two clinical diseases, is found worldwide with variation in severity, incidence and mortality. The most lethal hantaviruses are found on the American continent where the most prevalent viruses like Andes ...

Host mTORC1 Signaling Regulates Andes Virus Replication [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2013
ABSTRACT Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a severe respiratory disease characterized by pulmonary edema, with fatality rates of 35 to 45%. Disease occurs following infection with pathogenic New World hantaviruses, such as Andes virus (ANDV), which targets lung microvascular endothelial cells.

Temporal Analysis of Andes Virus and Sin Nombre Virus Infections of Syrian Hamsters [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2007
ABSTRACTAndes virus (ANDV) and Sin Nombre virus (SNV) are rodent-borne hantaviruses that cause a highly lethal hemorrhagic fever in humans known as hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). There are no vaccines or specific drugs to prevent or treat HPS, and the pathogenesis is not understood.
