Describes databases available online related to invasive microbial species. See Resource Library - Databases for general resources, other species, expertise, and geographic based information.
Database: Global
Health Database (free trial)
Host: CAB
International
Scope: The Global Health database
is published by CABI which has recorded public
health and veterinary research since 1910. Global
Health is the only specialist bibliographic abstracting
and indexing database dedicated to public health
research and practice. With more than two million
records, Global Health is the definitive international
public health database for academics, researchers,
NGOs, policy makers, clinicians, healthcare professionals
and students. The database covers all pathogens
relevant to human health, including invasive related
issues such as avian influenza and west nile
virus.
Database: Highly
Pathogenic Avian Influenza Early Detection Data
System (HEDDS) - National Avian Influenza Surveillance
Information
Host:
DOI. NBII. Wildlife
Disease Information Node
Scope: Includes current information
about wild bird sampling for early detection
of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in
the United States. Available to agencies, organizations,
and policymakers involved in avian influenza
monitoring and response. Scientists will use
the data to assess risk and refine monitoring
strategies should HPAI be detected in the United
States. Public access is more limited, but shows
the states where samples have been collected
and includes numbers of samples collected from
each state.
Database: Invasive
and Emerging Fungal Pathogens and Systematic
Botany and Mycology Laboratory Databases
Host: USDA, ARS, Systematic
Botany and Mycology Laboratory.
Scope: Provides detailed information
incuding images of fungi of quarantine significance.

100 Fungi on Important Agricultural and Forest
Crops Not in the United States, Invasive and
Emerging Fungi in the United States, and Common
Plant-associated Fungi in the United States.
Database: Plant Viruses Online, Descriptions and
Lists from the Virus Identification Data Exchange (VIDE) Database
Host: Australian National University in Canberra, Australia; Austrialian Centre for International Agricultural Research (mirrored from University of Idaho)
