The Andes virus (ANDV), Laguna Negra virus, and Río Mamoré virus are endemic in the country. Key endemic regions include the departments of La Paz, Tarija, Beni, and Santa Cruz. Prevention strategies focus on rodent-proofing rural housing, sealing grain storage, and ventilating cabins before entry.

International SOS assesses the risk of hantavirus to travelers as low, as transmission is primarily from infected rodents, not person-to-person, except for the Andes virus. Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is caused by "New World" hantaviruses found in Canada, the United States, and South American countries including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Panama, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The WHO and ECDC also assess the global risk from the current outbreak as low to very low.
