FluNet

FluNet provides global influenza virological surveillance data by aggregating counts of influenza viruses by subtype to support interpretation of epidemiological trends.

Key Features:

• Virological counts: Collects counts of influenza viruses detected by subtype.
• Geographic resolution: Reports data at the country level.
• Temporal resolution: Updates data on a weekly basis.
• Data outputs: Publishes data in tables, maps, and graphs.
• Global coverage: Aggregates virological reports to enable worldwide surveillance of influenza virus movement.

Scientific Applications:

• Global monitoring: Track the geographic movement of influenza viruses by subtype.
• Epidemiological interpretation: Interpret trends and patterns in influenza activity using subtype-specific detection counts.
• Public-health surveillance: Provide regularly updated virological data to inform surveillance and response decisions.

Methodology:

Aggregates weekly country-level reports of influenza virus detections by subtype and outputs the aggregated data as tables, maps, and graphs.
