Tuberculosis Surveillance Reports

Arctic Investigations Program

The mission of the Arctic Investigation Program (AIP) is the prevention of infectious disease morbidity and mortality among the peoples of the Arctic and sub-Arctic, with special emphasis on diseases of concern among indigenous people. As CDC’s infectious disease field station in Alaska, AIP focuses on the people of northern circumpolar regions with the aim of reducing health disparities related to infectious diseases. This collection includes publications and reports from the program.
