New GIDEON-Jisc partnership: offering UK academics access to leading infectious diseases database
GIDEON Informatics has partnered with Jisc for a one-year pilot agreement. Jisc members get an exclusive discount to access the GIDEON comprehensive infectious diseases database as part of the subscription offer.
Subscribers can leverage GIDEON’s web application and API (with a free R statistical package) to enhance their training, education, diagnostics, and research efforts.
The GIDEON database is a source of information on:
- 26,000 infectious disease outbreaks
- 84,000 prevalence and seroprevalence surveys
- 36,000+ epidemiology graphs
- 2,000+ pathogens

Kristina Symes, Managing Director of GIDEON Informatics stated:
“GIDEON’s partnership with Jisc arrives at the perfect time. Now, UK academics and educators get in-depth epidemiology data at the click of a button.”
She added:
“In the past few years, the UK’s academic bodies have had to adopt fully-online or hybrid learning models rapidly. Educators and students urgently need advanced digital resources to learn about, and fight against, infectious disease outbreaks.”
Caren Milloy, Jisc’s director of licensing, said:
“The GIDEON partnership is another significant agreement that enables our members to access critical health information that supports education and research.”
GIDEON offers a wide berth of data and tools like simulations for educators and students to explore. To benefit from the new GIDEON-Jisc partnership, visit Jisc’s catalogue.
