Bacteria, Enterics, Ameba, and Mycotics (BEAM) Dashboard.

The BEAM Dashboard is an interactive tool to access and visualize data that track enteric bacterial, viral, and parasitic agents, and other foodborne, waterborne, and fungal diseases.


Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet).

FoodNet conducts surveillance for Campylobacter, Cyclospora, Listeria, Salmonella, Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), Shigella, Vibrio, and Yersinia infections diagnosed by laboratory testing of samples from patients.
