WHO maintains a wide range of disease databases including the Global Health Observatory, Global Health Estimates, the Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (FluNet/FluID), the Global Tuberculosis Database and outbreak/epidemic intelligence platforms.
Infectious disease & surveillance
Pathogen genome archives, global surveillance portals and outbreak-intelligence feeds. The resources epidemiologists, virologists and public-health authorities use in real time.
A CDC system that opens U.S. public-health data for queries: mortality, cancer incidence, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, vaccinations, natality, environmental and occupational data — returning summarised statistics, charts and maps.
A global initiative for sharing influenza and SARS-CoV-2 (and other pathogen) genomic and surveillance data — central to outbreak genomic epidemiology since the COVID-19 pandemic.
NCBI Virus catalogues viral sequences and metadata; BV-BRC (formerly PATRIC/IRD/ViPR) is an NIAID-funded bacterial- and viral-pathogen bioinformatics resource integrating genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic and epidemiological data on human pathogens.
A specialty NIAID resource, now part of BV-BRC, for influenza sequence, surveillance, host-response and immunology data.
The canonical HIV sequence, immunology and resistance database, complemented by the Stanford HIV Drug Resistance Database. The reference for any HIV-related genomic or immunological work.
Specialised resources for tuberculosis genomics, drug resistance, and country-level incidence and treatment outcomes.
MalariaGEN aggregates genomic and epidemiological data on malaria parasites, vectors and hosts; PlasmoDB (part of VEuPathDB) is the functional-genomics database for Plasmodium and is widely used for malaria research.
Real-time outbreak intelligence sources aggregating news and reports to detect emerging infectious-disease threats — widely used by epidemiologists and journalists.
