Current evidence suggests that Andes virus (ANDV) poses a low pandemic risk, but viral evolution, ecological changes, and reservoir host dynamics could drive future emergence of ANDV, underscoring the need for improved surveillance, diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccine preparedness.
Abstract
Despite concerns arising from a recent ship-associated outbreak on the M/V Hondius cruise, current evidence suggests that Andes virus (ANDV) poses a low pandemic risk. Nevertheless, viral evolution, ecological changes, and reservoir host dynamics could drive future emergence of ANDV, underscoring the need for improved surveillance, diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccine preparedness.
Andes virus (ANDV) has recently emerged as a significant public health concern following a multi‐country outbreak aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship in April 2026, with 13 identified cases and three deaths among passengers and crew.
