Health Map: Global Disease Alert Mapping System

Health Map is a Google Maps mashup that plots real-time worldwide infectious disease outbreaks from around the world:

Currently the map mashes up with a variety of sources including proMED-Mail, the World Health Organisations, and Google News to give way to a useful world health maps mashup application. More sources and finer-grained mapping are apparently in the works according to the mashup geo developers Clark Freifeld and John Brownstein. Alerts can be filtered by most recent alerts or within the past 30 days. You can also look at only certain continents or countries. When you really stop to think about what power this mashup has it really serves to help millions of people to stay up to date on what health-related sources are currently reporting all over the world.
