1/ 🚀 Pathoplexus now supports the Andes variant of Hantavirus (ANDV).
ANDV is the variant identified in the recent MV Hondius cases, & the Hantavirus variant previously identified as having occasional human-to-human transmission.

Bringing Week 1 to a close — with a focus on next steps, collaboration and what comes next. 🚀
These discussions help strengthen how data is structured and used in public health.
Because stronger data systems don’t just improve understanding — they improve response.
