Description
Valeria Martínez, Carla Bellomo, Jorge San Juan, and colleagues published this study in Emerging Infectious Diseases in 2005. They examined whether Andes virus, a hantavirus in Argentina, can pass directly from person to person. Rodents are the usual source of hantavirus infection, so human spread would set this virus apart.
The team analyzed four clusters of lung disease cases from two endemic areas. Thirteen cases from late 2002 were grouped by known contact links. They found new evidence for person-to-person spread of the southern lineage of the virus. They also describe the first event linking a central lineage to this rare route of transmission.
