“…20 We studied 67 health-care workers at the Temuco Hospital in the IX region of Chile who attended an average of four critically ill HPS patients, and none of them showed Hantavirus antibodies. 28 Despite intrafamilial clusters of HPS in Chile, the person-to-person transmission of Hantavirus has not been proven in our country.…”

“…The exception comes from ANDV in Argentina and Chile where some evidence supports transmission from infected patients to family members and medical workers [95][96][97]. However, these instances are limited to outbreaks in small, rural communities, and regional medical staff that cared for HCPS patients had similar seroprevalence to the general population [98,99].…”

Ecology of Neglected Rodent-Borne American Orthohantaviruses

et al. 2020

The number of documented American orthohantaviruses has increased significantly over recent decades, but most fundamental research has remained focused on just two of them: Andes virus (ANDV) and Sin Nombre virus (SNV). The majority of American orthohantaviruses are known to cause disease in humans, and most of these pathogenic strains were not described prior to human cases, indicating the importance of understanding all members of the virus clade. In this review, we summarize information on the ecology of under-studied rodent-borne American orthohantaviruses to form general conclusions and highlight important gaps in knowledge. Information regarding the presence and genetic diversity of many orthohantaviruses throughout the distributional range of their hosts is minimal and would significantly benefit from virus isolations to indicate a reservoir role. Additionally, few studies have investigated the mechanisms underlying transmission routes and factors affecting the environmental persistence of orthohantaviruses, limiting our understanding of factors driving prevalence fluctuations. As landscapes continue to change, host ranges and human exposure to orthohantaviruses likely will as well. Research on the ecology of neglected orthohantaviruses is necessary for understanding both current and future threats to human health.
