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.
