Summary
VectorSurv is a web-based software designed for local and state public health agencies in the U.S. that facilitates data management and analysis related to vector-borne diseases. The platform emphasizes geographic location and date in its data storage, which includes environmental surveillance data like mosquito and tick collections, pathogen testing, dead bird testing for West Nile virus, and sentinel chicken serological testing. Additionally, it captures pesticide application data and resistance patterns.
VectoSur utilizes a sophisticated Geospatial Information System (GIS) framework to serve as a unified digital ecosystem for vector monitoring. Its technology stack integrates high-resolution spatial mapping and real-time data processing to modernize public health surveillance. It includes RESTful APIs for seamless integration with external software and mobile field applications that enable real-time data synchronization from the field.
VectorSurv also provides reporting tools to streamline submissions to the CDC’s national databases, such as ArboNet. By enabling public health agencies to manage surveillance data effectively, visualize trends, and make timely decisions, VectorSurv plays a crucial role in preventing the spread of these diseases and enhancing public health, particularly in the areas of communicable diseases and emergencies for the general population.
