Where is hantavirus found?
HantaMap approaches geography as broad source orientation. It helps readers explore public-source references by place while avoiding personal-risk claims.
Geography as source orientation
HantaMap uses places to organize source references, not to rank personal risk or claim complete case coverage. A country, region, or broad travel context should be read as a doorway into source material, not as a diagnosis, exposure location, or public-health alert.
Public-health sources often discuss hantaviruses through rodents and reservoir species because exposure context is tied to rodent urine, droppings, saliva, or nesting material. HantaMap keeps that reservoir framing educational: it does not infer individual exposure, household risk, or exact local transmission from a map point.
Official and public-health references do not describe one single global pattern. They often separate the Americas, Europe, and Asia because virus types, reservoir species, clinical vocabulary, reporting systems, and surveillance practices differ by region. HantaMap preserves that context instead of flattening every source into one universal score.
Americas
Public-health references commonly discuss hantavirus pulmonary syndrome or hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome, with Andes virus context especially important in parts of South America.

European references often discuss orthohantavirus infections, HFRS, nephropathia epidemica, and country-level surveillance or annual epidemiological reporting.

Asia references often include HFRS context and public-health material around Hantaan, Seoul, and related viruses, depending on the source and country.
Read Asia guideHantaMap brings together reviewed public-health references, reports, and source mentions to help readers explore hantavirus-related signals by geography. It deliberately uses broad context where precise locations could imply person-level exposure, current movement, or a level of certainty the source does not support.
A marker can mean that there is a reviewed source connected to a country-level public-health reference, a travel-associated official report, or a background source that helps explain regional context. It does not automatically mean a current local outbreak, a live surveillance feed, or an exact exposure point.
Use HantaMap as an atlas of source context, then verify details with primary sources and local public-health authorities.
