Introduction

What is pathogen characterisation data, and why is it important for infectious diseases research?

Topic 1

Short explanation of what this topic is about and why it is important, with an emphasis on infectious diseases and the category that you selected.

Considerations

Using a bullet point style list format as much as possible, describe the considerations for your topic that are specific to infectious diseases within the category (e.g. pathogen characterisation) that you have selected.

Please avoid replicating ‘generic’ guidelines, i.e. those not specific to infectious diseases, here. Add links to RDMkit in the metadata above, if any are needed.

Existing approaches

Swiss Pathogen Surveillance Platform (SPSP)

SPSP is a secure One-health online platform that enables near real-time sharing under controlled access of pathogen genomic data and their associated clinical/epidemiological metadata. During COVID-19, it served as the Swiss SARS-CoV-2 genomic data hub, collecting data, annotating it, communicating reports to the federal public health authorities and openly re-sharing anonymised data on the Covid-19 Data Platform.
