The Global Ranavirus Reporting System (GRRS) is now live!
The GRSS allows you to create and manage records for Ranavirus studies and reports, import and export data, view tables and maps of reports, and leave reviews and comments on reports. It should be an invaluable resource and research tool.
This system was constructed by the amazing group at the EcoHealth Alliance (Andrew Huff, Russell Horton, Nathan Breit, Amy Slagle) and designed in collaboration with several GRC members (me, Amanda Duffus, Matt Gray, Debra Miller) and largely funded by the U.S. Forest Service (Dede Olson). Thank to all of them for making this a reality.
The key is going to be getting record entered. You can upload cases as individual records or in bulk with a CSV file. After files are uploaded, a database manager will inspect them before they are released publicly. Records can be shared with the public fully or obfuscated. Video and written instructions are provided on the GRRS website. Additionally, questions and suggestions for improvement can be emailed to me (jesse.brunner@wsu.edu) or Amanda Duffus (aduffus@gordonstate.edu) or Jesse Brunner
