VectorSurv is a data management, analysis, and reporting software used widely across 20 states and territories and over 220 vector control and public health agencies that enables users to make real-time, data-driven control decisions and customized reports. VectorSurv’s built-in tools incorporate GIS capabilities to allow users to calculate abundance anomalies, pool infection rates, vector index, West Nile virus risk, and insecticide resistance over user-defined spatial regions. Recently, VectorSurv released the VectorSurv API, enabling users to access VectorSurv data programmatically through widely used protocols. The VectorSurv API enhances customization in decision-making and reporting by providing access to VectorSurv data within popular software tools like Tableau, Power BI, Python, and R. This presentation will review the decision making and reporting capabilities available to VectorSurv users that drive data-based vector control decisions and limit the spread of vector-borne diseases.
