Hantanet is a standalone Hantavirus data visualization engine, powered by MicrobeTrace.

Hantaviruses are RNA viruses with a segmented genome that are shed via urine, feces, and saliva from an infected animal host and spread to people via aerosolized virus-containing particles. Each hantavirus strain is predominantly associated with one rodent species or few closely related species. Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is a respiratory disease caused by "New World" hantaviruses (e.g. Sin Nombre Virus) and Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS) is caused by "Old World" hantaviruses (e.g. Seoul Virus). Studies have shown that "New World" and "Old World" hantaviruses are phylogenetically distinct.

Scope of HantaNet: Web platform for hantavirus data submission, analysis and visualization to improve hantavirus domestic surveillance, standardize and modernize diagnostics, case reporting and data sharing between the CDC and academic institutions, state and public health labs.
