Human Emerging Respiratory Pathogens Bulletin

The Human Emerging Respiratory Pathogens (HERP) Bulletin is a monthly publication developed by the Public Health Agency of Canada's Centre for Emerging and Respiratory Infections and Pandemic Preparedness. The HERP Bulletin serves as a mechanism for information sharing on summary surveillance indicators of global active public health events affecting humans in the field of emerging respiratory pathogens. This includes pathogens such as novel influenzas (both avian and swine-origin), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and other ad-hoc emerging respiratory pathogens.

HERP data are now available in an interactive dashboard. Historical HERP bulletins remain available on this page.
