Summary 

The Norwegian Surveillance System for Communicable Diseases (MSIS) is run by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH/FHI), and monitors notifiable infectious diseases in humans in Norway. It also disseminates statistics by year in annual reports, and via customizable tables from the MSIS online Statistics Bank. Tables can be downloaded starting from 1977 (2005 for chlamydia) by disease, month and year of diagnosis, age, county, and place of infection.
