Disease mapping services
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are pleased to announce an expansion of their disease mapping services. The new web site, http://diseasemaps.usgs.gov, in
addition to showing West Nile virus (WNV) activity, maps cases of 5 other
arboviruses: St. Louis encephalitis (SLE), eastern equine encephalitis
(EEE), western equine encephalitis (WEE), La Crosse encephalitis (LAC), and Powassan virus (POW).
Data on these diseases are provided by state health departments to CDC using CDC's ArboNet surveillance system. Every Tuesday at 3 a.m. a summary
report is generated from the ArboNet database and transmitted to USGS.
These data are used to create the more than 700 maps contained on the web site.
Anyone who uses the http://westnilemaps.usgs.gov address will be redirected to the new homepage at http://diseasemaps.usgs.gov.
