Abstract

Information technologies are playing an increasingly important role in preventing, detecting, and managing infectious disease outbreaks. This paper presents a collaborative infectious disease informatics project led by an interdisciplinary team of information systems researchers and public health researchers and practitioners. This project has resulted in a research prototype called the WNV-BOT Portal system, which provides an integrated infectious disease information sharing, analysis, and visualization environment across jurisdictions.
