@GuyCohen @AIBear This option cannot be construed on the basis that this market is about the Andes, and andes only.

"Globally, it is estimated that between 10,000 and 100,000 cases occur each year, mainly affecting Asia and Europe."

Hantaviruses - ANRS

Les hantavirus sont une famille de virus transmis par des rongeurs. Cette infection peut conduire à deux syndromes plus ou moins sévères et létaux.

@JussiVilleHeiskanen I think it is reasonable to infer from the context that "the Hantavirus" is limited to the Andes strain (though official clarification by @GuyCohen would be helpful, I already asked but didn't get it)

.

There are many hantaviruses. Does "the Hantavirus" refer to the specific Andes virus strain that caused the MV Hondis outbreak or does any member of the Orthohantavirus genus (or even the whole Hantaviridae family) count?

@AIBear This matters because fpr the Hantaan virus alone "9,000–12,000 cases occur each year in China" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hantaan_virus) and there is an approved vaccine and few others in the pipeline for some hantaviruses other than the Andes virus.

@AIBear @GuyCohen very important clarification please, the Andes variant mortality rate is high but incidence is very low.
