We have developed spatialepidemiology.net to include global surveillance data
for Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis.
The Bd database is viewable as
an interactive web-based map using the Google Maps
and Google Earth interfaces.
All isolate positions within
the database are highlighted and allow drilling down
via the map to obtain further epidemiological data, including
amphibian distribution, genotype (if known) and associated
epidemiological parameters.
For those isolates where
genotypes have been obtained, the ability to investigate
further is provided through the eBURST algorithm which
allows patterns of spread to be assessed by linkage between
identical/closely related genotypes.
