Mumps in seat 21C!

Article Abstract:

The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has designed eManifest, an in-house CDC database that imports electronic passenger data that the airline gives to the CDC. The passenger data is then distributed to state or territory health departments through Epidemic Information Exchange (Epi-X) to notify people who shared a flight with someone later diagnosed with the infection since airplanes are the most likely source of international spread of diseases.
