BACKGROUND
Accurate case report data are essential to understand arbovirus dynamics, including spread and evolution of arboviruses such as Zika, dengue and chikungunya viruses. Giving the multi-country nature of arbovirus epidemics in the Americas, these data are not often accessible or are reported at different time scales (weekly, monthly) from different sources.
RESULTS
We developed a publicly available and user-friendly database for arboviral case data in the Americas: ARCA. ARCA is a relational database that is hosted on the ARCA website. Users can interact with the database through the website by submitting queries through the website, which generates displays results and allows users to download these results in different, convenient file formats. Users can choose to view arboviral case data through a table which containscontaining the number of cases for a particular week, a plot, or through a map.
CONCLUSION
Our ARCA database is a useful tool for arboviral epidemiology research allowing for complex queries, data visualization, integration, and formatting.
背景
准确的病例报告数据对于了解虫媒病毒动态至关重要，包括寨卡病毒、登革热病毒和基孔肯雅热病毒等虫媒病毒的传播和演变。鉴于美洲虫媒病毒流行具有多国性质，这些数据并不总是可获得的，或者由不同来源在不同的时间尺度（每周、每月）报告。
结果
我们开发了一个可供公众使用且用户友好的美洲虫媒病毒病例数据库：ARCA。ARCA 是一个关系数据库，托管在 ARCA 网站上。用户可以通过网站提交查询与数据库进行交互，网站会生成显示结果，并允许用户以不同的、方便的文件格式下载这些结果。用户可以选择通过包含特定周病例数的表格、图表或地图来查看虫媒病毒病例数据。
结论
我们的 ARCA 数据库是虫媒病毒流行病学研究的有用工具，允许进行复杂的查询、数据可视化、集成和格式化。
