Data access

Many useful infectious disease data sources exist, but are often inaccessible to modellers. What steps can be taken to make it easier for modellers to access valuable data that have been collected in the past?


Many time series are available at International Infectious Disease Data Archive (IIDDA, http://iidda.mcmaster.ca).  Anyone who has infectious disease data that can be shared is strongly encouraged to contribute them to the IIDDA website for the benefit of all.

If you know of other relevant online data archives, please add them to the "Structures for Data Sharing" node.
