/diseases/countries/{country_code}/latest-outbreaks
Returns **one current outbreak-style row per disease** for a single country: among qualifying **outbreak** and **sporadic** records in that country, the server keeps the row whose reporting window is **most recent** (by the greatest of first reported year, last reported year, and publication year), then **deduplicates to a single row per `disease_code`**.
Results are ordered by **`disease`** name. The response is **`{ "data": [ … ] }`** with **no** top-level **`timestamp`**.
- **`outbreak_start`** _(deprecated)_ – Same calendar value as **`outbreak_first_reported`**; prefer **`outbreak_first_reported`** / **`outbreak_last_reported`**.
- **`outbreak_end`** _(deprecated)_ – Replaced by **`outbreak_last_reported`** for new integrations.
The **`type`** field follows the same comma-separated semantics as other outbreak listings (for example **`outbreak`**, **`sporadic`**, **`travelcase`**, and combinations).
