About HantaTracker
An independent public health intelligence tool — not a government service, not medical advice.
Our mission
HantaTracker exists to make public health signals more accessible. When a hantavirus outbreak is reported by the World Health Organization or regional health authorities, the raw information is often buried in technical bulletins and disease-outbreak-news PDFs. Most people — travellers, concerned families, journalists, and healthcare workers looking for a quick reference — never see it.
HantaTracker pulls that information into a single, readable dashboard: case counts, country breakdowns, an interactive route map, outbreak timelines, and educational guides written in plain language. Everything links back to its primary source so you can verify what you read.
We do not manufacture urgency. We do not speculate beyond what official sources have confirmed. We do not provide medical advice. Our goal is simply to lower the barrier between "something is happening" and "I understand what is happening."
What this site is — and is not
Data sources
Case counts and outbreak classifications are drawn from official public health publications. No data is fabricated or estimated beyond what sources explicitly report. See the full data sources and methodology page for details.
Who built this
HantaTracker is an independent project built and maintained by Alexander Van Hoof. It is not affiliated with any government agency, university, hospital, or health authority.
The site was created in response to the 2026 MV Hondius Andes virus cluster — an event that generated significant public interest but very little accessible, plain-language coverage. The goal is to remain updated as long as the outbreak is an active public health concern.
Medical disclaimer
Nothing on HantaTracker constitutes medical advice, clinical guidance, or a substitute for professional healthcare. If you believe you or someone near you may have been exposed to hantavirus, call your national emergency number immediately. Read the full disclaimer.
