Web-Based Disease Tracking: A West Nile Virus Example
Track: Health and Human Services
Author(s): Mark Egbert

In 2003, the State of Colorado had more diagnosed cases of West Nile Virus than any other state in the country. In order to educate the public, provide information to the media, and target spraying activities, the department developed a simple ArcIMS site that tracked the results of animal testing in near-real time. This site was very successful. Future plans include ArcIMS sites to display real-time animal testing results and real-time human cases (to authorized users).
