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).
