Open the live map focused on Paraguay →This page tracks every documented hantavirus outbreak in Paraguay from 1993 to the present. Each event on the map is verified against primary sources — WHO Disease Outbreak News, CDC MMWR, ECDC, PAHO bulletins, peer-reviewed papers, and the relevant national health ministry — before publication.
Hantavirus is a family of rodent-borne RNA viruses (family Hantaviridae). Some species cause Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS, mostly in the Americas) and others cause Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS, mostly in Eurasia). The map below highlights every confirmed event recorded in Paraguay.

How we verify data
Every event entry is constructed from verbatim quotes in primary sources. We do not estimate; where a numeric claim cannot be verified against an open-access tier-1 source, we record zero. Tier-1 sources: WHO, CDC, ECDC, PAHO, national health ministries. Tier-2: ProMED-mail, CIDRAP, peer-reviewed papers. Tier-3 (queues for manual review): major science journalism (Reuters, AP, BBC).
Hantavirus species at a glance
Hantavirus is a family of rodent-borne RNA viruses (Hantaviridae). The clinically important species split between Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (Andes, Sin Nombre, Bayou, Black Creek Canal, Choclo, Laguna Negra) and Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (Hantaan, Puumala, Seoul, Dobrava). Case-fatality varies dramatically by species — from <0.5 % for Puumala to ~30–40 % for Andes and Sin Nombre.
