Andean hantavirus cell-entry mechanism identified, potential therapeutic target

Researchers have identified the molecular mechanism by which Andean hantavirus initiates infection in human cells, a first for this pathogen. The finding is based on laboratory studies and has not yet been validated in vivo. It could inform future antiviral strategies against a virus endemic in parts of Argentina and Chile.
