Flu.gov

A federal government Website managed by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Flu.gov provides comprehensive government-wide information on seasonal, H1N1 (swine), H5N1 (bird) and pandemic influenza for the general public, health and emergency preparedness professionals, policy makers, government and business leaders, school systems, and local communities. In the U.S., epidemiologists at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) work with states to collect, compile and analyze reports of flu outbreaks.

Centers for Disease Control

CDC.gov is your online source for credible health information and is the official Web site of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). CDC is committed to achieving true improvements in people's health. CDC applies research and findings to improve people's daily lives and responds to health emergencies—something that distinguishes CDC from its peer agencies. Working with states and other partners, CDC provides a system of health surveillance to monitor and prevent disease outbreaks (including bioterrorism), implement disease prevention strategies, and maintain national health statistics. CDC also guards against international disease transmission, with personnel stationed in more than 25 foreign countries.

Mathematical Biosciences Institute

MBI offers a vigorous program of research and education, and fosters the growth of an international community of researchers in this new field. The mission of MBI is:

• To foster innovation in the application of mathematical, statistical, and computational methods in the resolution of significant problems in the biosciences;
• To foster the development of new areas in the mathematical sciences motivated by important questions in the biosciences;
• To engage mathematical and biological scientists in these pursuits; and
