About HORIZON
HORIZON is a live hantavirus outbreak surveillance platform operated by 79th Unit Limited, a UK intelligence consultancy (Companies House number 17133814). We specialise in open-source intelligence, public-safety surveillance, and audit-grade source provenance.
What we do
We aggregate hantavirus outbreak signal from authoritative public-health bodies (WHO, CDC, ECDC, PAHO), national authorities, peer-reviewed literature, and open news. We qualify every record with the NATO Admiralty Scale, attach an ICD 206 source citation, and hash every fetched document under the Berkeley Protocol chain-of-custody.
What we are not
We are not a clinical service. We do not provide medical advice. If you are unwell, contact a clinician or your local public-health authority. We are not a substitute for WHO Disease Outbreak News, ECDC weekly threats reports, or CDC HAN advisories — read those alongside.
Our standards

Open API
Every dataset we surface is available as machine-readable JSON via our OpenAPI schema. Mirror it, scrape it, index it, train models on it — the only requirement is attribution.
