1. An genetic surveillance information system, comprising:
- a communications network;
at least one reader-analyzer instrument having communication interface to communicate over said network;
said reader-analyzer instrument being adapted to perform genetic assay analysis of a sample obtained from an individual member of a population and to generate genetic surveillance-related data based on said analysis;
said reader-analyzer instrument being adapted to associate spatial information and temporal information with said genetic surveillance-related data and to communicate said spatial information and temporal information associated with said genetic surveillance-related data over said network.

Abstract
A genetic surveillance system comprises a communications network and at least one reader-analyzer instrument. The reader-analyzer instrument has a communication interface to communicate over the network. The reader-analyzer instrument is adapted to perform genetic assay analysis of a sample obtained from a member of a population and to generate detection-related data based upon the analysis. The reader-analyzer instrument is adapted to associate qualifying information with the detection-related data and to communicate the associated qualifying information and detection-related data over the network.
