The Disease Daily

As a publication from HealthMap, The Disease Daily has access to real-time reporting of infectious disease events all over the world.

more...less...
Global influenza surveillance has been conducted through WHO's Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS) since 1952.
GISRS is a system fostering global confidence and trust for over half a century, through effective collaboration and sharing of viruses, data and benefits based on Member States’ commitment to a global public health model.
The mission of GISRS is to protect people from the threat of influenza by continuously functioning as a:
global mechanism of surveillance, preparedness and response for seasonal, pandemic and zoonotic influenza;
global platform for monitoring influenza epidemiology and disease; and
global alert for novel influenza viruses and other respiratory pathogens.
