outbreak_start (deprecated) – Replaced by outbreak_first_reported. Do not use.
outbreak_end (deprecated) – Replaced by outbreak_last_reported. Do not use.

The type field in the outbreak response indicates the nature of the reported disease occurrence. It can have one or two comma-separated values:

Value	Description
`outbreak`	A confirmed outbreak involving multiple cases linked by time and location.
`sporadic`	A single or isolated case not linked to other known cases.
`travelcase`	The case was imported from another country or region, typically through travel.
`outbreak,travelcases`	A cluster of travel-related cases that are considered part of an outbreak.
`sporadic,travelcase`	A single travel-related case that is not part of a known outbreak.

Note: Values may appear in combination (e.g., outbreak,travelcases) to indicate both the type of event and whether the case(s) were travel-related.
