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.
Our Purpose
- Provide a clear, interactive hantavirus map showing confirmed and suspected cases globally
- Aggregate and present official data from WHO, CDC, ECDC, and national health agencies
- Offer accurate, non-alarmist medical information about hantavirus transmission, symptoms, and prevention
- Maintain a chronological outbreak timeline as events develop
- Support contact tracing awareness for passengers of the MV Hondius
Data Sources
All data presented on the hantavirus map and throughout this site is sourced exclusively from official public health agencies and verified news organizations:
