Andes virus is unique among hantaviruses because it can be transmitted from person to person. This mechanism was previously supported by epidemiologic data and genetic evidence based only on partial sequences. We used full-length virus sequencing to confirm person-to-person transmission of this virus in a cluster of 3 cases in Argentina in 2014.
安第斯病毒是汉坦病毒中较为独特的一种,因为它可以在人与人之间传播。这一机制此前得到了流行病学数据和基于部分序列的遗传证据的支持。我们使用全长病毒测序技术,在 2014 年阿根廷的 3 例聚集性病例中证实了这种病毒的人际传播。
