Europe surveillance
ECDC annual reporting gives Europe background context. The 2023 annual report recorded 1,885 hantavirus infection cases in the EU/EEA.
European surveillance is useful for HFRS burden and seasonality, but annual background data should not be mixed with an active cruise-linked event snapshot.
WHO describes Europe and Asia hantaviruses as HFRS context, and says human-to-human transmission has not been documented in this part of the world.
Research and national surveillance context
91,388 HFRS cases / 509 deaths, 2014-2023
China is essential background context for a global hantavirus site, but this is long-term HFRS surveillance context, not a live MV Hondius event count.
Annual ECDC epidemiological reporting
1,885 EU/EEA cases reported for 2023
ECDC annual reporting is useful for background burden, seasonality and HFRS context. It should not be mixed into the active cruise-linked case cards.
CDC program pages, weekly and annual tables
CDC surveillance and NNDSS context
U.S. pages should focus on nationally notifiable disease context, CDC public guidance and severe HPS/HCPS awareness rather than a global live total.
