This hantavirus tracker is an independent surveillance tool that aggregates confirmed case counts, probable cases, suspected cases, and fatality data from official public health authorities. The hantavirus tracker pulls data directly from ECDC, WHO, and CDC to give you an accurate, up-to-date picture of the global outbreak situation. Whether you are a researcher, journalist, or concerned traveler, this hantavirus tracker provides the clearest real-time view of where hantavirus cases are occurring and how the outbreak is evolving. Bookmark this hantavirus tracker to stay informed as the situation develops — this hantavirus tracker is updated continuously from primary sources so you always see the latest confirmed data.
This hantavirus tracker monitors the MV Hondius expedition cruise ship Andes virus outbreak (2026). The first death occurred aboard the ship on April 11; a second passenger died in Johannesburg on April 26, triggering WHO's international response. Exact exposure origin remains under investigation.
The hantavirus tracker map shows WHO contact tracing covering passengers and crew across 14 countries. Confirmed and probable case counts are sourced directly from ECDC.
The hantavirus tracker map covers both the 2026 MV Hondius active outbreak and compiled historical records (1993–present) across the Americas, Europe, and Asia — including HPS cases (Americas) and HFRS cases (Asia/Europe). Andes and Sin Nombre strains cause HCPS with a CFR of 35–50%.
Unlike other hantaviruses, the Andes strain is the only one with documented person-to-person transmission — which is why this hantavirus tracker follows repatriation flights and quarantine status across 14 countries. Use this hantavirus tracker to monitor confirmed case progression and geographic spread in real time.
This hantavirus tracker aggregates data from the world's leading public health authorities:

In April–May 2026, an Andes hantavirus outbreak was confirmed aboard MV Hondius, a Dutch cruise ship. This hantavirus tracker monitors all exposed passengers and crew from over 20 countries, following the international WHO response including contact tracing across 14 countries.
As of the latest ECDC update, this hantavirus tracker shows 8 confirmed, 2 probable, and 1 inconclusive case in the 2026 MV Hondius outbreak, with 3 confirmed deaths. Case counts are automatically synced from ECDC.
Most hantavirus strains spread only through contact with infected rodents or their droppings. The Andes virus — the strain this hantavirus tracker focuses on — is the only known hantavirus with documented person-to-person transmission, making it uniquely dangerous.
Early symptoms resemble flu: fever, muscle aches, and fatigue. Within days, hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) can develop, causing severe respiratory distress. The case fatality rate for HPS ranges from 35–50%. This hantavirus tracker displays confirmed deaths alongside case counts.
In the Americas, HPS cases concentrate in the southwestern US, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil. In Asia and Europe, HFRS is more common. This hantavirus tracker maps both historical records (1993–present) and the active 2026 outbreak across all affected regions.
