A One-Stop Resource to Wildlife Health Information
The Wildlife Disease Information Node is a dynamic and evolving Web resource, reflecting the expanding and continually changing face of wildlife disease. As more partners come together as part of this collaborative project, their contributions will create a distributed wildlife disease information and data warehouse, a valuable resource for all to share and use for the enhanced understanding and management of wildlife diseases around the world.
WDIN Objectives
Building partnerships and providing tools to facilitate long-term collaborative efforts in the wildlife disease arena.
Facilitate access to data and information on wildlife and zoonotic diseases;
Visualize clusters on morbidity and mortality events;
Track the prevalence and spread of various diseases at the most discrete spatial and temporal levels through interactive GIS mapping and other applications;
WDIN is a collaborative project working to develop a Web-based monitoring and reporting system to provide state and federal resource managers, animal disease specialists, veterinary diagnostic laboratories, physicians, public health workers, educators, and the general public with access to data on wildlife diseases, mortality events, and other critical related information. Data are contributed voluntarily, with partners deciding which data they choose to share. Building partnerships and providing tools to facilitate long-term collaborative efforts in the wildlife disease arena through a Web-based monitoring and reporting system are being pursued to facilitate access to data and information.
