Hoewel de dieren zelf meestal niet ziek worden, kunnen zij het virus verspreiden via urine, uitwerpselen en speeksel.<\/p>\n<p>Mensen raken meestal besmet door het inademen van virusdeeltjes die zich in stofdeeltjes bevinden. Dit gebeurt bijvoorbeeld bij het schoonmaken van ruimtes waar knaagdieren aanwezig zijn geweest.<\/p>\n<p>Het virus komt wereldwijd voor, onder andere in delen van Europa, Azi\u00eb en Noord- en Zuid-Amerika.<\/p>\n<h2>Wat maakt de Andesvariant bijzonder?<\/h2>\n<p>Het Andesvirus (ANDV) is een specifieke variant van het Hantavirus die voorkomt in Zuid-Amerika. Deze variant is uitzonderlijk omdat het de enige bekende hantavirusvariant is waarvan is aangetoond dat overdracht van mens op mens mogelijk is.<\/p>\n<p>Deze overdracht vindt vooral plaats bij nauw en langdurig contact in afgesloten ruimtes, bijvoorbeeld via hoesten of speekseldeeltjes.<\/p>\n<h2>Hoe verspreidt het Hantavirus zich?<\/h2>\n<p>Besmetting gebeurt meestal door:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Het inademen van stofdeeltjes besmet met uitwerpselen van knaagdieren<\/li>\n<li>Direct contact met besmette knaagdieren<\/li>\n<li>Contact met besmette oppervlakken of voedsel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bij de Andesvariant kan in zeldzame gevallen ook overdracht van mens op mens plaatsvinden. Vooral hoesten in afgesloten ruimtes vergroot het risico op verspreiding. Onder ideale omstandigheden kan het virus enige tijd op oppervlakken overleven, waardoor indirect contact ook een mogelijke besmettingsroute vormt.<\/p>\n<h2>Wat zijn de symptomen van het Hantavirus?<\/h2>\n<p>De klachten verschillen per type hantavirus, maar veelvoorkomende symptomen zijn:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vroege fase<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Plotselinge hoge koorts<\/li>\n<li>Ernstige spierpijn<\/li>\n<li>Hoofdpijn<\/li>\n<li>Vermoeidheid<\/li>\n<li>Misselijkheid of buikpijn<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Late fase<br \/>\n<\/strong>Bij ernstige infecties kunnen long- of nierproblemen ontstaan, waaronder:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Toenemende hoest<\/li>\n<li>Ernstige kortademigheid<\/li>\n<li>Vochtophoping in de longen<\/li>\n<li>Ademhalingsproblemen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Het Andesvirus kan leiden tot het zogenoemde Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS), een ernstige longaandoening.<\/p>\n<h2>Is het Hantavirus gevaarlijk?<\/h2>\n<p>Ja. Ernstige infecties met het Andesvirus kunnen levensbedreigend zijn. Het sterftepercentage bij ernstige infecties met het Andesvirus ligt tussen de 30% en 60%.<\/p>\n<p>Er bestaat momenteel geen specifiek geneesmiddel, antiviraal medicijn of vaccin tegen het Hantavirus. Vroege herkenning en snelle medische zorg zijn daarom belangrijk.<\/p>\n<h2>In welke landen komt het Hantavirus voor?<\/h2>\n<p>Hantavirusinfecties komen onder andere voor in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Zuid-Amerika<\/li>\n<li>De Verenigde Staten en Canada<\/li>\n<li>Delen van Europa<\/li>\n<li>Azi\u00eb<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Het risico verschilt per regio en type reis. Vooral reizigers die verblijven in natuurgebieden, afgelegen accommodaties of gebieden met veel knaagdieren lopen meer risico.<\/p>\n<h2>Hoe kun je besmetting voorkomen?<\/h2>\n<p>Je kunt het risico op besmetting verkleinen door:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Contact met knaagdieren te vermijden<\/li>\n<li>Geen voedsel open te laten liggen<\/li>\n<li>Accommodaties schoon en goed geventileerd te houden<\/li>\n<li>Handen regelmatig te wassen<\/li>\n<li>Voorzichtig te zijn bij het schoonmaken van stoffige ruimtes<\/li>\n<li>Geen droge bezem te gebruiken bij uitwerpselen van knaagdieren<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Actuele informatie over het Hantavirus<\/h2>\n<p>Wil je op de hoogte blijven van actuele gezondheidsinformatie en internationale meldingen?<br \/>\nBekijk dan deze betrouwbare bronnen:<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/health-topics\/hantavirus#tab=tab_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WHO Disease Outbreak News<\/a><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecdc.europa.eu\/en\/hantavirus-infection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC)<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wat is het Hantavirus?
