About HantaOSINT

Independent open-source intelligence platform tracking hantavirus cases, outbreaks, and surveillance signals worldwide. Founded May 2026. Named editorial accountability and open methodology.

What HantaOSINT is

HantaOSINT is an independent open-source intelligence platform tracking hantavirus cases, outbreaks, and surveillance signals worldwide. We aggregate data from primary public health authorities (WHO Disease Outbreak News, CDC Health Alert Network, ECDC, PAHO), peer-reviewed publications, and named wire service reporting, and publish a real-time dashboard, daily reports, and editorial briefings with full source attribution on every claim.

We are not a news outlet. We are not a government source. We are not a medical authority. We are an analyst-built information layer for people who need to follow zoonotic surveillance closely: journalists, researchers, public health professionals, and informed members of the public.

Why this exists

WHO Disease Outbreak News, CDC HAN advisories, ECDC bulletins, and national surveillance reports are excellent primary sources but are slow, scattered across dozens of websites, and not designed for real-time tracking. Specialist journalists piece together a picture by tab-juggling across these sources. Public health teams in smaller countries often miss developments because no one is aggregating them.

HantaOSINT exists to be the one URL where you can see the global hantavirus picture in 30 seconds, with every claim linked back to its primary source. The dashboard is free because surveillance data should be free. Paid tiers fund the infrastructure and editorial work.

Who runs it

Editorial: Hristo Stanchev, based in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Background: 12 years in technical SEO and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) consulting, including OSINT platform builds (iranwarlive.com, ww3chance.com). Not a trained epidemiologist. The editorial methodology is constructed from primary-source reading of WHO, CDC, ECDC, and peer-reviewed publications, and is modelled on ProMED-mail editorial conventions.

Infrastructure: Tileterra Systems, a boutique infrastructure shop building specialised tools for journalists and analysts.

Search performance / AEO: Websiteaiscore, AI-readiness and search optimization.

Editorial decisions, sourcing, and surveillance methodology are decided independently. Tileterra and Websiteaiscore are technical partners, not editorial owners. The methodology is published and open for review by working epidemiologists. Reviewers willing to critique or contribute may email editorial@hantaosint.com.
