ANDV Tracker — MV Hondius outbreak awareness
ANDV Tracker is a public, source-attributed awareness site focused on the MV Hondius Andes orthohantavirus (ANDV) outbreak. Andes virus is a hantavirus, so the site is relevant to searches for the latest hantavirus outbreak news, but it does not cover all global hantavirus events. It surfaces official WHO and ECDC case status and outbreak context, explanatory pages on transmission and symptoms, and a separate curated mainstream media list for narrative context.
ANDV Tracker is not a diagnostic tool or an official surveillance system.
It focuses on the MV Hondius ANDV outbreak with links to WHO and ECDC; media links are contextual only.

- Is Andes virus a hantavirus?

- Does ANDV Tracker cover latest hantavirus news?
- ANDV Tracker covers latest official updates and curated media for the MV Hondius Andes virus outbreak, which is a hantavirus outbreak. It should not be read as a complete feed for every hantavirus event worldwide.
- Where does ANDV Tracker get data?
- Official updates and MV Hondius case counts are stored after an automated daily ingestion pass at 14:30 UTC that reads public ECDC and WHO sources for the cruise-ship Andes virus outbreak, then written for the app to load on each visit. Curated mainstream media headlines are stored separately and do not replace official case figures.
- How often does ANDV Tracker refresh ingested values?
- Ingestion is scheduled once per day at 14:30 UTC. Visitors see the latest values available in storage when the page loads, but there is no continuous real-time feed.
- Does curated media coverage replace official case counts?
- No. Mainstream articles are for context only. Confirmed outbreak figures should always be taken from WHO, ECDC, and other public-health authority pages linked in the official updates section.
- Does ANDV Tracker cover broader hantavirus surveillance?
- No. The public site is ANDV-only and focuses on the MV Hondius Andes virus outbreak. Backend or legacy ingestion may retain other official-source rows for operational context, but public AEO and visitor-facing copy should not present the site as a global hantavirus surveillance product.
