  HORIZON is an open dataset of hantavirus outbreak case reports aggregated
  from 65+ authoritative sources: WHO Disease Outbreak News, US CDC Health
  Advisory Network (HAN), ECDC Communicable Disease Threats Report, PAHO
  Epidemiological Alerts, ProMED-mail, THL Finland, national health
  ministries (Argentina, Chile, Brazil), major wire services (Reuters, AP,
  AFP, BBC, EFE, Mercopress), and peer-reviewed literature repositories
  (Europe PMC, bioRxiv, medRxiv, Crossref, arXiv).

  HORIZON includes two unique datasets: (1) the Oxford Kraemer Lab
  individual-level MV Hondius ANDV line list (CC0, Dr Moritz Kraemer /
  University of Oxford, Sam Scarpino, Andrew Rambaut / University of
  Edinburgh / Nextstrain), providing 28-column per-person resolution
  including symptom onset, clinical outcome, nationality, treatment, and
  Pathoplexus genomic accession IDs for every tracked case in the 2026
  MV Hondius cruise ship cluster; and (2) the full NCBI RefSeq
  Orthohantavirus reference genome set (HantaNet, CDC Molecular
  Epidemiology and Bioinformatics Team, PMC10675615), covering S/M/L
  segments for all major serotypes.

  Every record carries audit-grade source provenance: ICD 206 Source
  Reference Citation methodology, NATO Admiralty Scale reliability and
  credibility ratings (STANAG 2511), dual-confidence model (automated
  pipeline confidence plus human analyst confidence), Berkeley Protocol
  SHA-256 chain-of-custody hash, and Analysis of Competing Hypotheses
  (ACH) confidence scoring. Ecological leading indicators include NOAA
  MEI.v2 ENSO index and NASA MODIS MOD13A3 NDVI anomaly for five
  hantavirus-endemic regions.

  International. A Zenodo deposit (DOI pending) will provide a versioned
  snapshot for long-term academic citation.
