HantaVirus Tracker app

About HantaVirus Tracker app

Hantavirus Tracker — outbreak intelligence for everyday awareness.

Track current hantavirus outbreaks around the world with verified alerts, an interactive map, a chronological timeline, and a clear prevention guide. The feed is updated several times a day from public health bulletins and trusted news.

What you can do
• See live case reports plotted on a global map, filterable by year, syndrome, and source verification level. Tap "Use my location" to see how close reports are to where you are.
• Read the latest news headlines about hantavirus, sourced from CDC, WHO, PAHO, ProMED, Reuters, AP, BBC, and many more. Every item carries a verification badge so you can tell official alerts from media speculation.
• Browse a chronological timeline of cases and news together — see how today fits into the bigger picture.
• Tap any virus to see a live profile pulled from Wikipedia: what it is, where it has been reported, severity, and the rodent species that carries it.
• Tap any country to drill into all of its case reports and recent news.
• Read up on the reservoir species — deer mouse, bank vole, striped field mouse, and others — to know what to watch for in your region.
• Follow major historical outbreaks: the 1993 Four Corners discovery, the 2018 Argentina cluster, and the current cruise-ship cluster.
• Use the prevention checklist for safe cleanup of rodent activity in homes, cabins, sheds, and storage.

Verification labels
Every alert carries one of: Official Alert (CDC, WHO, state and county health departments) · Confirmed Media (Reuters, AP, BBC, major outlets citing officials) · Early Signal (ProMED, GDELT, regional reports) · Unverified (single-source or social claims) · Historical (past outbreaks for context). This is the difference between awareness and panic.
