FHI is Norway’s national institute of public health. FHI is the central body responsible for overseeing and coordinating the national surveillance of infectious diseases.

VI is the national Veterinary Institute. VI monitors zoonotic pathogens and pathogens in food and the environment.

Support surveillance of specific pathogens, provide diagnostic services, and contribute to research on pathogen resistance and control strategies

Mattilsynet is the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. They play a crucial role in the surveillance of pathogens in Norway, particularly those related to food safety, animal health, and plant health.

The health registry MSIS is the official system for monitoring infectious diseases in Norway, including food-, water- and vector-borne pathogens, and zoonotic pathogens and pathogens transmitted through environmental sources.

NORM is the Norwegian Surveillance System for Antimicrobial Drug Resistance. This health registry collect and analyse data on antibiotic resistance

RAVN is the national health registry for antiviral resistance, and is hosted by FHI. The registry contains de-identified health information about individuals who have provided samples with specific viruses, as well as details about the viruses and their resistance to antiviral medications. The system is access restricted, and researches can apply for access from Helsedata

The health registry NOIS provides an overview of the occurrence of healthcare-associated infections and the use of antibiotics in hospitals and nursing homes.

SYSVAK is the Norwegian Immunisation Registry that records an individual’s vaccination status and vaccination coverage in Norway.

The surveillance program NORM-VET focuses on antibiotic resistance in microbes originating from feed, animals, and food. Annual reports are made publicly available in joint annual reports with NORM.

ViltHOP is the national wildlife health monitoring program. ViltHOP monitors diseases in wild animals to document health status in wildlife populations. The main focus is on inter-species disease transmission between wild and domestic animals, as well as zoonoses—diseases that can spread from animals to humans. ViltHOP produce annual reports.

Mattilsynet conducts biosecurity monitoring for the aquaculture industry to enable early detection and management of diseases among farmed fish. This system requires operators to immediately notify the authority if any listed diseases are suspected. Consequently, operators must diligently surveil fish health and monitor for any signs of disease or abnormalities.

Veterinærinstituttet additionally conducts surveillance using environmental DNA sampling. These sampling methods are increasingly used for monitoring and early detection of pathogens, foreign species, conservation of endangered species, and biodiversity mapping.

FHI conducts surveillance for the occurrence of common food, water, and animal-transmitted diseases, including vector-borne infections which are reported annually.
