The<unk><unk>  and<unk>  Surveillance System (WBDOSS) is a national surveillance system maintained by the U.S. Centers for<unk>  Control and Prevention (CDC). The WBDOSS receives data about<unk><unk><unk> s and single cases of<unk><unk> s of public health importance (for example, Primary Amebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM)) in the United States and then disseminates information about these<unk> s,<unk> s, and their causes. WBDOSS was initiated in 1971 by CDC, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Data are reported by public health departments in individual states, territories, and the Freely Associated States (composed of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of Palau; formerly parts of the U.S.-administered Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands). Although initially designed to collect data about drinking water<unk> s in the United States, WBDOSS now includes<unk> s associated with recreational water, as well as<unk> s associated with water that is not intended for drinking (non-recreational) and water for which the intended use is unknown.
