Hantavirus (Andes) vs COVID-19
| Kriterium | ANDV | COVID |
|---|---|---|
| Fallsterblichkeitsrate | 30–40% | ~0.5–1% IFR (ancestral, pre-vaccine) |
| R0 (Basisreproduktionszahl) | <1 (rare P2P clusters) | 2–3 (ancestral); higher for later variants |
| Inkubationszeit | 2–4 weeks (up to 6) | 2–14 days (median 5) |
| Übertragungsweg | Inhaled rodent excreta; rare person-to-person (ANDV only) | Respiratory aerosols and droplets; pre-symptomatic spread |
| Mensch-zu-Mensch-Übertragung | Begrenzt | Ja |
| Verfügbare Behandlung | Supportive care, oxygen, ECMO; ribavirin investigational | Antivirals (nirmatrelvir/ritonavir, remdesivir); supportive care |
| Verfügbarer Impfstoff | None licensed | Multiple licensed mRNA, viral-vector and protein subunit vaccines |
| Geografische Verbreitung | Argentina, Chile, with imported clusters worldwide (2026) | Global pandemic since 2020; now endemic seasonal circulation |
| Erstmals identifiziert | 1995 | 2019 |
| Virusfamilie | Hantaviridae (Bunyavirales) | Coronaviridae |
| Reservoirwirt | Long-tailed pygmy rice rat (Oligoryzomys longicaudatus) | Bats (likely ancestral); intermediate host debated |
Hantavirus (Andes virus, ANDV)
ANDVAndes virus is the only hantavirus with documented person-to-person transmission. The 2026 MV Hondius cluster is being closely watched because its cruise-ship setting matches the close-contact conditions where ANDV chains have appeared historically.

COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2)
COVIDSARS-CoV-2 spreads efficiently before symptoms begin, which is exactly the property that drove the 2020 pandemic. Hantaviruses lack this trait, which is the single biggest reason ANDV is not expected to behave like COVID.
