But when Andes virus was discovered in 1995, a different pattern quickly emerged. Take this 1996 outbreak:
The first patient was a 41-year old man in the town of El Bolson in the foothills of Patagonia. Three weeks after he first noticed symptoms, his 70-year old mother and then his doctor fell ill.

But what is really striking is what happened then: Almost 4 weeks after the doctor’s first symptoms, his wife, herself a doctor, also fell ill. She travelled to a hospital in Buenos Aires, where a doctor spent an hour examining her. 24 days later, this doctor too became ill.
