Alphabetical Index of Water-related Health Data
This list provides links to various health related data (surveillance summaries, outbreak reports, and surveillance systems) for potentially waterborne or water-related diseases and injuries. Data on all nationally notifiable diseases in the U.S. are summarized annually in the MMWR and can be accessed at http://www.cdc.gov/ncphi/disss/nndss/annsum/index.htm. Surveillance system and data links have been chosen because the information is electronically accessible. Outbreaks cited are those documented in CDC publications (MMWR, Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID)) which are not copyrighted.
A single asterisk (*) denotes Nationally Notifiable Diseases through the Nationally Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS)
