How HantaDash works
Aggregate
WHO RSS, ECDC news feed, Outbreak News Today, ProMED archives and 12 regional Google News feeds — continuously fetched and deduplicated.
Curate
Multilingual classifier identifies kind (local case / imported / policy-only). Country detector drops mis-attributed signals. Source tier system grades credibility.
Inform
Live map, weekly digest, real-time signal alerts — all in one place.
What you see on the map
HantaDash combines three independent data layers:
- Endemic regions — Areas where hantavirus is known to circulate based on long-term epidemiology.
- Historical cases — Reported case counts per region. Circle size scales with case count.
- Active alerts — Fresh outbreak signals from official health bulletins and curated news.
Sources
- WHO Disease Outbreak News — official global outbreak bulletins.
- ECDC — European surveillance and risk assessments.
- PAHO — Latin America case reports.
- CDC NNDSS — weekly hantavirus reports across US states.
- ProMED-mail — community-curated outbreak posts.
- Google News + Outbreak News Today — global media signals, deduplicated and labeled with source.
Every item links back to its primary source. We prefer incomplete transparency over false precision: when data is sparse, we show that openly instead of hiding it.
What HantaDash is not
- Not medical advice. For symptoms, consult a doctor.
- Not an official health authority. For official guidance, consult WHO and your local health authorities.
- Not a case confirmation system. The signals shown here are early indications in the reporting pipeline.
Limitations
Hantavirus is a sparse disease (~150-300 cases/year globally). No public API provides real-time confirmed case counts. We surface signals — not patient counts — and clearly label confidence with our source tier system.
Who maintains this project
HantaDash is built and maintained by an independent team. We work on transparent, signal-based intelligence tools. For feedback and corrections, email info@hantadash.com or use the contact page.
