Sequence data from the recent Andes hantavirus outbreak are now available through NLM’s NCBI resources, NCBI Virus web interface and NCBI Datasets command-line tool. These data were submitted by the University Hospitals of Geneva. 

To find sequence records from 2026, search for “Orthohantavirus andesense” in NCBI Virus and apply the “Collection Date” filter. To get a quick overview of Andes hantavirus data available through GenBank, visit the NCBI Virus Outbreak Statistics page (select Andes hantavirus) which shows the collection location and host for recently collected samples.  

If you prefer to access data programmatically you can use the NCBI Datasets command-line tool. The NCBI Dataset virus data package includes the same sequences and metadata available for RefSeqs and GenBank records through NCBI Virus, along with annotation files and BioSample metadata. 

 Use the NCBI Submission Portal to submit your virus sequence data reads to the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) or your assembled genome data to GenBank. If you have questions or concerns about submitting data to SRA or GenBank, please contact us at submit-help@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
