<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td class="sectionHeaders" colspan="2"> Welcome to the DengueNet database and geographic information system </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="contentText" valign="top" width="540"> DengueNet, built on the Global Health Atlas platform, is the World Health Organization's central data management system for the global epidemiological and virological surveillance of dengue fever (DF) and dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) created in partnership with WHO Regional and Country Offices, Ministries of Heath, WHO Collaborating Centres and laboratories. The network collects standardized data from all DengueNet partners worldwide, and provides ready access to a variety of indicators such as incidence, case fatality rates (CFR), frequency and distribution of DF and DHF cases, number of fatalities and circulating virus serotypes.
The key objective of DengueNet is to provide a standard platform for sharing current surveillance data in order to detect and monitor incidence and trends of dengue and DHF. This system promotes greater standardization of dengue reporting, making national data more comparable than they are today. DengueNet also provides unrestricted access to useful information that can help public health professionals with advance warning of epidemics to improve preparedness, case management, and reduce fatality rates. </td> <td align="right" valign="top"> <table class="tbl_border" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2"> <tbody><tr> <td class="lables"> Related material </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="contentText"> DengueNet User Guide[pdf] </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="contentText"> Guide d'usager DengueNet [pdf] </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="contentText"> Gu?a del usuario para DengueNet [pdf] </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="contentText"> DengueNet Flyer [pdf] </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="contentText"> WHO DengueNet Web page </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="contentText"> WHO Dengue Fact Sheet </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="contentText"> WHO/EPR Dengue Page </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="contentText" colspan="2">

DengueNet also provides unrestricted access to useful information that can help public health professionals with advance warning of epidemics to improve preparedness, case management, and reduce fatality rates.
When DengueNet is fully implemented, its standardized global surveillance data will be critical to assess the increasing health and economic burdens of dengue, to document cost effectiveness of both new and existing prevention and control interventions and to provide evidence for the positive cost-benefit ratio of such measures.
By clicking on the tabs above, DengueNet data on reported cases and deaths and circulating viruses are available to the public at large for query by year, month, and geographic area. Results of DengueNet queries are available in table, map, chart and free text formats. By logging in, DengueNet partners have access to password protected data entry functions which allow them to submit and update current and historical data.
