An open API for real-time access to epidemiological surveillance data maintained by the Carnegie Mellon University Delphi research group. The Epidata API contains: COVIDcast API that provides daily updates about COVID-19 activity across the United States, and data about other epidemics including influenza, dengue, norovirus. The COVIDcastAPI includes data about testing, cases, and death, healthcare, and survey data from multiple sources at counties, states, metropolitan statistical areas, and other geographical divisions. Several API clients are available for common programming language like R and Python. Source code available on GitHub: https://github.com/cmu-delphi/delphi-epidata

The condition of having at least three loose or liquid bowel movements each day.
Information about diagnostic tests, results, including serology tests, PCR, and other tests
A count of disease cases that is the total number of individuals who come to meet the criteria of some case definition during a reference temporal interval.
A count of cases in a population that is the number of individuals who come to meet the criteria of some case definition during a proper part of a reference temporal interval.
Vaccine preventable diseases are those infectious diseases that can be prevented by vaccination
Dengue fever (DF), caused by dengue virus, is an arboviral disease characterized by an initial non-specific febrile illness that can sometimes progress to more severe forms manifesting capillary leakage and hemorrhage (dengue hemorrhagic fever, or DHF) and shock (dengue shock syndrome, or DSS).
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a diverse group of conditions caused by a variety of pathogens (including viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi and toxins) and associated with devastating health, social and economic consequences.
A count of hospital stays in a population that is the number of hospital stays that occurred during a proper part of a reference temporal interval.
Written programs or procedures or rules and associated documentation pertaining to the operation of a computer system and that are stored in read/write memory.
An acute viral infection of the respiratory tract, occurring in isolated cases, in epidemics, or in pandemics; it is caused by serologically different strains of viruses (influenzaviruses) designated A, B, and C, has a 3-day incubation period, and usually lasts for 3 to 10 days. It is marked by inflammation of the nasal mucosa, pharynx, and conjunctiva; headache; myalgia; often fever, chills, and prostration; and occasionally involvement of the myocardium or central nervous system.
The type species of the genus ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS that causes influenza and other diseases in humans and animals. Antigenic variation occurs frequently between strains, allowing classification into subtypes and variants. Transmission is usually by aerosol (human and most non-aquatic hosts) or waterborne (ducks). Infected birds shed the virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces.
The goal or purpose of a modeling study.
Unidentified influenza virus is a species of ssRNA(-) virus in the family Orthomyxoviridae.
Actions of groups of people in response to outbreaks.
A count of deaths in a population that is the number of deaths that occurred during a proper part of a reference temporal interval.
A Coronavirus infection that is characterized by fever, cough and shortness of breath and that has_material_basis_in SARS-CoV-2.
An organism of a particular biological taxon that is the site of reproduction of an organism of a different taxon.
Projections of outbreak behavior into some future time, determined relative to a defined starting point. Might include retrospective projects or projections for current activitiy (known as "now-casting").
Descriptors of the behavior of an outbreak
A service that has some information content entity as input and output.
Species of the genus BETAINFLUENZAVIRUS that cause HUMAN INFLUENZA and other diseases primarily in humans. Antigenic variation is less extensive than in type A viruses (INFLUENZA A VIRUS) and consequently there is no basis for distinct subtypes or variants. Epidemics are less likely than with INFLUENZA A VIRUS and there have been no pandemics. Previously only found in humans, Influenza B virus has been isolated from seals which may constitute the animal reservoir from which humans are exposed.
An organism of a particular biological taxon that is the bearer of an infectious dispositions towards an organism of a different particular biological taxon.
A disease or disorder that involves the digestive system.
A count of individuals in a population who meet the criteria of some case definition during some time interval.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
A species of BETACORONAVIRUS causing atypical respiratory disease (COVID-19) in humans. The organism was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, China. The natural host is the Chinese intermediate horseshoe bat, RHINOLOPHUS affinis.
A data set that is about either some mortality rate or the death events themselves of some individuals of a given population of a particular biological taxon.
A species of the genus FLAVIVIRUS which causes an acute febrile and sometimes hemorrhagic disease in man. Dengue is mosquito-borne and four serotypes are known.
A disease whose physical basis is an infectious disorder
a data set that is about the human daily movement behavior of the individual huamns in a given population.
Estimates of reluctance to being vaccinated.
incident emergency department visit count
A count of emergency department visits in a population that is the number of emergency department visits that occurred during a proper part of a reference temporal interval.
Minute infectious agents whose genomes are composed of DNA or RNA, but not both. They are characterized by a lack of independent metabolism and the inability to replicate outside living host cells.
A count of simulated or physical individuals in a population.
Rates of compliance with policies/interventions including mask wearing, facility closures, large events, etc.
A population or type of organisms that is genetically different from others of the same species and possessing a set of defined characteristics.
a dataset that is about two or more emergency department visits involving two or more patients.
Infection by an etiologic agent that can be passed between animals and humans.
Software is a plan specification composed of a series of instructions that can be interpreted by or directly executed by a processing unit.
a census of infectious disease control strategies put into place to reduce infection acquisitions that are part of an infection in an ecosystem.
a dataset that is about two or more hospital stays involving two or more patients.
A disease is a disposition (i) to undergo pathological processes that (ii) exists in an organism because of one or more disorders in that organism.
A respiratory tract infection caused by a virus. Viruses represent the most common causes of upper and lower respiratory tract infections and include rhinoviruses, influenza viruses, parainfluenza viruses, and respiratory syncytial virus.
An infectious disease where a pathogen is carried and transmitted by another organism that acts as disease vector.
Landing page where users can browse and download dataset files in various formats.
