An international research with the participation of the Carlos III Health Institute (ISCIII) has corroborated that there was person-to-person transmission in the Andes hantavirus outbreak declared last May aboard the cruiser 'MV Hondius'.
The study shows that the virus is closely related to a variant that has been circulating for years in a limited region in northern Patagonia.
