An infectious disease control law was enacted in April 1999 in Japan. The infectious disease control law strengthens infectious disease surveillance system. It is indicated that collection and analysis of information about infectious disease and feedback/dissemination of that information are necessary in infectious disease control and prevention. It is also indicated that both disease surveillance and microbiological surveillance are the essential component for high quality infectious disease surveillance. Infectious Disease Surveillance Center (IDSC) was established as an extensive of Division of Infectious Disease Epidemiology in 1997, and it has been designated as a National Infectious Disease Surveillance Center. In local or district level, it is encouraged to designate Local Infectious Disease Surveillance Center. The main targets are category 1-5 infectious diseases prescribed in an infectious disease control law. IDSC gets large cooperation from a district/local infectious disease surveillance centers to operate national infectious disease surveillance.
Center for Surveillance, Immunization, and Epidemiologic Research (CSIER) was established as an extensive of IDSC in 2021.
