Interested in finding out where the latest salmonella or Avian Flu outbreak is?

Well, now you can thanks to Healthmap.

Healthmap gathers text from the World Health Organization, Google News, and many other resources and filters it down and puts it onto a map for everyone to see. Never has disease tracking been so accessible. Healthmap displays the outbreaks on a world map, color coding the severity of the outbreak based on current and up-to-date news reporting.

And it’s so easy to use. The zoom and scrolling features let you pinpoint the latest outbreaks of over 50 diseases (human and animal). Pick a disease or a location listed on at the left of the screen and then click on the map to read the original article or report.
