/diseases/outbreaks/pathogens

Returns the **reference list of outbreak pathogens** (etiologic agents linked to outbreak records). Each item has **`pathogen_code`** (numeric id) and **`pathogen`** (label, often with simple HTML such as italics). Pass **`pathogen_code`** as the **`pathogen`** query parameter on **`GET /diseases/outbreaks/filter`**. For values already constrained by other outbreak filters, **`GET /diseases/outbreaks/filter-options`** also returns `data.pathogens` with the same shape (`pathogen_code` / `pathogen`). #### **Query parameters** | Name | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `search` | No | If set, only rows whose **`pathogen`** label starts with this string are returned (prefix match).
