Disclaimer

HantaData aggregates and displays signals derived from automated parsing of publicly available RSS feeds, news wires, and health surveillance reports. Signal counts reflect the volume of media mentions and published reports about hantavirus activity — they do not represent:

• Confirmed clinical case counts
• Official epidemiological statistics
• Validated outbreak declarations
• Mortality or hospitalization data

The automated parsing system may produce false positives (news about historical outbreaks, research, or non-human hantavirus activity) and false negatives (outbreaks not covered by indexed media sources). Data should not be relied upon for any decision-making purpose.

Nothing on HantaData constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. The information provided is for informational and educational purposes only. For any health concerns:

• Consult a qualified healthcare professional
• Contact your local or national health authority
• Refer to WHO: who.int
• Refer to CDC: cdc.gov/hantavirus
