Confirmed: human-to-human ANDV transmission partially attributed to spread aboard MV Hondius

Multiple sources now confirm that spread on board Hondius has been at least partially attributed to human-to-human transmission of the Andes virus, not solely rodent exposure. ANDV is the only hantavirus documented to spread person-to-person. This elevates the epidemiological significance of the outbreak.
