A landscape infographic titled “Hantavirus: A Brief History — From Discovery to Global Awareness.” The timeline includes key milestones: Korean War outbreaks (1950–53) affecting over 3,000 soldiers, Hantaan virus isolation in 1978, discovery of multiple hantaviruses in the 1980s, identification of Sin Nombre virus and HPS in the U.S. in 1993 with 24 cases and 12 deaths, expansion of global surveillance in the 2000s, and current estimates of 150,000–200,000 HFRS cases annually worldwide. The infographic uses large text, colorful panels, rodent illustrations, maps, and disease icons.

History of Hantavirus : Timeline

/

Haemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS) has historical roots in ancient texts and was notably recognized during the Korean War in the 1950s. The Hantaan virus was isolated in the 1970s, and various hantaviruses have since emerged globally. HFRS significantly affects Asian countries, with a 1-15% mortality rate, while Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) has a 35-50% fatality rate.

Norovirus: Outbreaks, Molecular Epidemiology and Vaccine Development

/

Norovirus was first identified in 1968 during an AGE outbreak in Ohio, later characterized and sequenced in the early 1990s. It causes significant illness globally, particularly in developing regions. Challenges for vaccine development include the virus’s genetic diversity and lack of reliable culture systems. Current research focuses on candidate vaccines targeting multiple genotypes.

Norovirus In Numbers : Global Burden, Symptoms, and Impact on Public Health

/

Norovirus is the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide, causing an estimated 685 million infections and 210,000 deaths annually. It significantly affects young children and developing countries. The economic impact is substantial, costing the U.S. about $2 billion yearly. Effective prevention measures are crucial to combat its high transmission rates and health burden.
