U.S. Hantavirus Map by State

The U.S. layer is a state-level historical context layer, not live local surveillance and not county-precision mapping. CDC publishes public hantavirus case geography by state and explicitly limits county-level public data.

Key Points

CDC reported 864 laboratory-confirmed U.S. hantavirus disease cases from 1993 through 2022.

CDC states that county-level case data cannot be provided publicly.

State health departments remain the best source for current local reporting and prevention notices.

How to read the U.S. map

Reported cases are historical surveillance summaries. They show where cases have been reported by state, not where risk exists at an address.

Reservoir regions show ecology. Deer mouse distribution and other rodent host ranges are useful context, but they do not show infected animals or human cases.

Why county precision is avoided

Hantavirus is rare, and public health agencies protect patient privacy. This MVP does not infer county risk from news reports, rodent ranges, or partial state summaries.

For current concerns in a specific area, contact the relevant state or local health department.
