Notifiable Diseases On-Line

Notifiable Diseases On-Line is a web based application developed by the Centre for Infectious Disease Prevention and Control of the Public Health Agency of Canada to enhance dissemination of surveillance data collected on notifiable diseases in Canada.

The application contains information on the number of cases reported for several of the notifiable diseases as well as their rate in the population. The data are available for each province and territory for each year starting at 1989 up to the end of 2004. (For 1999, Northwest Territories and Nunavut data have been combined).

Please note:

1. The 2003 and 2004 data are preliminary and are subject to change.
2. The following data is not available at the present time:
   • Saskatchewan 2003 (except Gonococcal Infections, Chlamydia and all Syphilis) and all 2004 data;
   • Nunavut all 2004 data;
   • Tuberculosis data for 2003 and 2004;
   • Hepatitis C 2004 data for Nova-Scotia.
   The rates are based on reporting provinces and territories only.
