The Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System was created by the WHO
In 1952, the Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS) was created by World Health Organization (WHO) to monitor the evolution of influenza viruses. The GISRS network originally included 26 laboratories.
RespiMart is a central data platform exchanging, harmonizing, consolidating, and storing surveillance data on respiratory viruses with epidemic and pandemic potential, including influenza, SARS-CoV-2, and RSV. Two databases within RespiMart are used routinely to monitor and report on global and regional activity of these respiratory viruses: FluNet and FluID.
Today, GISRS is comprised of institutions in 122 WHO member states.
