Leer declaración completa ↗El Virus Andes es el único hantavirus con transmisión persona a persona documentada. Todas las demás cepas de hantavirus — incluido el virus Sin Nombre (el más común en EE. UU.) — requieren contacto directo con excretas de roedores infectados y no pueden propagarse entre humanos.
El grupo de casos del MV Hondius es el primer brote conocido de hantavirus a bordo de un buque y el mayor grupo documentado de transmisión persona a persona del Virus Andes. La OMS ha confirmado que la transmisión ocurrió por contacto estrecho entre pasajeros y tripulantes, no por exposición a roedores.
