2022 had us busy profiling databases from around the world (currently 400), including the first ones from six countries. We made several enhancements and also lowered the “global” subscription rate to make our resource more affordable to locate databases of interest. Would you complete our 2-minute survey regarding how you could benefit from B.R.I.D.G.E.?

Starting in 1997, the Icelandic Register of Communicable Diseases includes diseases, agents causing diseases and events, immunisations, and use of antimicrobial drugs, and is intended to be of use in preventive measures and in epidemiological research. Notifiable communicable diseases which can pose a threat to public welfare are subject to registration.
