ANDV is the only hantavirus with documented person-to-person transmission, typically via respiratory secretions from infected individuals.
Tripartite negative-sense RNA genome (S, M, L segments). Encodes nucleoprotein, glycoproteins Gn/Gc, and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS). Fever, myalgia, and headache progressing to acute respiratory distress. CFR ~15–35%.
Phylogenetic placement confirms outbreak linkage, identifies transmission clusters, and supports public health response and contact tracing.
