+
+<p>To test whether the Groundsource methodology actually transfers, we ran a complete replication on a different domain: <strong>epidemic surveillance from WHO Disease Outbreak News</strong>.</p>
+
+<div class="card success">
+    <strong>Result: The methodology transfers successfully.</strong> A single LLM (Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct) achieves 96.2% extraction success rate, 86.4% case count extraction, and 95.6% disease name accuracy &mdash; comparable to the JRC paper's ensemble of 3 specialized LLMs.
+</div>
+
+<h3>What We Did</h3>
+<ol>
+    <li><strong>Scraped 3,177 WHO Disease Outbreak News articles</strong> (2004-2026) via the WHO API</li>
+    <li><strong>Used Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct</strong> (via HF Inference API) to extract: disease name, country, event date, case count, death count, severity</li>
+    <li><strong>Geocoded</strong> extracted countries to lat/lon coordinates</li>
+    <li><strong>Evaluated</strong> against both title-derived ground truth and the JRC paper's published metrics</li>
+</ol>

+<h3>The LLM Normalizes Intelligently</h3>
+<p>The LLM doesn't just copy &mdash; it cleans and normalizes messy titles into proper disease names:</p>
+<ul>
+    <li>Title: <em>"International food safety event: Infant formula and products containing arachidonic acid oil contaminated with cereulide toxin"</em> &rarr; LLM: <strong>"Cereulide toxin poisoning"</strong></li>
+    <li>Title: <em>"Mpox: recombinant virus with genomic elements of clades Ib and IIb &ndash; Global situation"</em> &rarr; LLM: <strong>"Mpox"</strong></li>
+    <li>Title: <em>"Trends of acute respiratory infection, including human metapneumovirus"</em> &rarr; LLM: <strong>"Acute Respiratory Infections"</strong></li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Africa Coverage Flips: 50.7%</h3>
+<p>A striking finding: <strong>50.7% of WHO DON events are in Africa</strong> &mdash; the complete opposite of the Groundsource flood dataset (4.2%). This makes sense: WHO specifically targets regions with high disease burden and weak surveillance. Top African diseases: Cholera (26), Ebola (14), Marburg (10), Yellow fever (10).</p>
+<p>This means the methodology's Africa gap is <strong>data-source-dependent, not inherent</strong>. Choose the right text source, and the geographic bias shifts.</p>
