Some quick ideas on good places to start:

http://www.who.int/  Site for the Wold Health Organization
http://www.cdc.gov/scientific.htm  Site for Research Stats from Center for Disease Control
http://www.ins.gov/graphics/aboutins/statistics/index.htm  US. Immigration & Naturalization Service Site

Also, I'd search the web for universities with graduate programs in Medical Geography or Epidemiology and then visit the web site of those depts to see if current or recent research has addressed this issue.

Hi list--
I'm looking for references to maps (or data that will allow me to map) of disease incidence/dispersion such as TB, smallpox, HIV/AIDS, etc.  My main task is to illustrate that the developed world is not free from risk and should be concerned (aside from humanitarian reasons) about diseases in the developing world.  Ideally, dispersion/flow maps would make the point better than maps of current rates.

Thanks in advance,
