How many of the world’s infectious diseases occur in Australia?
How many of these are caused by parasites?
Which of the parasitic diseases of Australia are carried by dogs?
GIDEON (Global Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology Online Network) is a dedicated infectious disease knowledge management tool. If there is anything you need to know anything about infectious diseases, GIDEON is the place to look.
GIDEON consists of two principle content modules: Infectious Diseases, and Microbiology.
The Infectious Diseases module encompasses over 350 infectious diseases, 231 countries, and over 400 anti-infective drugs and vaccines. Use this module to find whatever it is you need to know about infectious diseases, diagnosis, travel, drugs, or vaccines.
Have a patient or scenario you need help with? Start in the Diagnosis module to enter symptoms and narrow down potential diseases. Wondering why a particular disease isn't listed? Click the Why Not button at the bottom of the Diagnosis Results window and select the disease you're curious about. GIDEON will explain why this disease did not appear - for example, the disease may not be endemic to your selected country, or may be excluded based on a symptom you've input.
Need to know more about a specific disease? Put diseases into perspective using the Fingerprint function under the Diseases tab. Learn what a disease is, how it is transmitted, key signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests and treatment, details of country-by-country impact, and more. Select multiple diseases to compare using the Compare button at the bottom of the Result window to see a simple breakdown of relevant clinical findings, and track disease trends using the Graph function, also under the Diseases tab.
Use the Travel tab to see travel-related events for specific diseases and learn more about specific drugs or vaccines in their respective modules. Find general information, warnings, contraindications, potential interactions, trade names, and spectrum of use for over 300 drugs and over 70 vaccines.
The other principle content module in GIDEON is the Microbiology module. This module includes more than 1,700 microbial taxa (Bacteria, Mycobacteria, Yeasts).
Need to learn more about a particular bacteria or yeast found in humans? Prepare a chart in the Microbiology module by selecting yes or no to each phenotypic test and then selecting the Identified bacteria, myobacteria, or yeast that you would like to examine. Again, the Compare function can be used to compare multiple identified organisms, allowing you to view a simple pathogen comparison chart.
If you think GIDEON could help you in your studies, you can access it from the A-Z Databases page under G for GIDEON. Alternatively, you can follow this link straight to the database itself.
For help in learning how to get the most out of GIDEON, check out the video tutorials available. There is even an awesome tutorial that will walk you through using each of the different aspects of GIDEON to identify a ‘Mongolian Mystery Bug.’
By the way, there are 221 infectious diseases that occur in Australia. 45 of these are caused by parasites, and 12 of those parasites are carried by dogs!
