Phylogenetic tree of S segment showing evolutionary relationships among ANDV strains
M Segment Phylogenetic Tree
Phylogenetic tree of M segment showing clustering patterns
The 2026 Swiss ANDV sequence shows approximately 95.5% similarity to reference sequences, clearly belonging to the main ANDV clade. Two major clusters were identified within the ANDV family, with Cluster A showing 99.7% internal sequence similarity.
🧬 Mutation Site Analysis
Mutation Type Distribution
Distribution of mutation types: 91.9% transitions vs 8.1% transversions
Key Findings
Transition mutations dominate: A→G (14, 37.8%), T→C (10, 27.0%), G→A (5), C→T (5)
Transversion mutations: Only 3 rare cases (8.1%)
This transition bias is characteristic of RNA virus evolution, consistent with patterns observed in influenza and SARS-CoV-2.

Scenario Summary
| Scenario | Râ‚€ | Final Infections | Deaths |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base Transmission | ~1.5 | 12.5 | 0.4 |
| Mutant Strain Enhanced | ~3.0 | 101 | 2.8 |
| Early Isolation (Day 7) | ~1.5 | 2.4 | 0.1 |
| Delayed Isolation (Day 20) | ~1.5 | 4.0 | 0.2 |
Key insight: Early isolation within the first week can reduce infections by over 80%. The mutant strain with Râ‚€=3.0 leads to 8x more infections than the base strain.
