"Wisconsin Introduces Online Tool for Reporting Food and Waterborne Illnesses"

The Wisconsin Department of Health has launched an online tool for reporting suspected food or waterborne illnesses, aiming to make it easier for people to report symptoms and potential sources of contamination. The questionnaire allows individuals to provide details about their illness, recent food consumption, and places visited before falling ill. Officials hope this will help identify sources of contamination and combat underreported cases, particularly for norovirus, which tends to spike in the winter. The department also offers tips for preventing food poisoning and emphasizes that the tool is not a substitute for seeking medical care.

Pathogen "Tree of Life" Assembled by Researchers.

Researchers have developed an online tool that provides real-time updates on plant diseases caused by Phytophthora species, which have caused various plant diseases, from the catastrophic Irish potato famine in the 1840s to the ongoing sudden oak death affecting West Coast oaks. The tool offers extensive information on over 192 officially recognized species, such as their evolutionary history and interrelationships within groups, and covers more than 30 informally identified taxa. The tool incorporates genetic sequence data from multiple sites within each species’ genome, as well as crucial details like the global locations of each species, their plant hosts, and the locations where the pathogens reside in or on the host plants.
