Nationally Notifiable Diseases, United States

CDC compiles data on the occurrence of many, but not all, diseases found in the United States. Statistics are collected and compiled from reports to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS), which is operated by CDC in collaboration with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE). Because the dates of onset and dates of diagnosis for notifiable diseases may not always be reported, these surveillance data are presented by the week that they were reported to CDC by public health officials in state and territorial health departments. These data are finalized and published annually in the MMWR as specific disease summaries or in a comprehensive Summary of Notifiable Diseases, United States. The Summary also documents those diseases that are considered national priorities for notification, and the annual number of cases of such diseases.

Nationally notifiable parasitic diseases include:

• Babesiosis
• Cryptosporidiosis
• Cyclosporiasis
• Giardiasis
• Malaria
• Trichinellosis (Trichinosis)
