AT A GLANCE
New historical tables distinguish reported cases, confirmation status and missing surveillance data.
What the source reports
WHO’s September 25, 2026 report summarizes country submissions for 2019–2025. It does not estimate global incidence. Our comparable map uses its 2025 observations from six countries.
The United States supplied no surveillance data for this report; that does not mean no US cases occurred. Suspected totals include probable and confirmed cases, so those categories must not be added.
