About Hantavirus Map

HantavirusMap.net is an independent public health information website dedicated to real-time tracking and visualization of hantavirus outbreaks worldwide. Our mission is to make authoritative epidemiological data accessible, understandable, and actionable for the general public, travelers, healthcare professionals, and journalists.

This site was created in response to the 2026 MV Hondius cruise ship hantavirus outbreak — one of the most geographically dispersed hantavirus events in recorded history, affecting passengers across 13 countries. When a public health crisis spans multiple continents, clear visual information saves lives.
