The University of California, Davis School of Veterinary Medicine has launched a new version of the Disease BioPortal, an online platform designed to help veterinarians, producers, and diagnostic labs make faster, data-driven health and biosecurity decisions.
The Disease BioPortal makes it easier to track important livestock health issues, spot disease trends early, and make informed decisions to protect animals and operations.
Developed by the Center for Animal Disease Modeling and Surveillance under the leadership of Dr. Beatriz Martínez-López, Disease BioPortal integrates diagnostic and field data from multiple sources and delivers interactive maps, dashboards, and predictive modeling in real time. The result: improved outbreak detection, reduced response times, and better farm management strategies.
“The adoption by some of the top swine industry producers, large pharma companies and veterinary clinics demonstrates the trust and impact of this platform,” said Dr. Martínez-López, professor of epidemiology and disease modeling at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. “As we expand to additional sectors, our goal is to provide the same level of support and insight to help safeguard animal health, food systems, and ultimately public health.
