Bringing New Technologies to Bear for Biosurveillance

The recent COVID-19 pandemic and the current outbreak of avian influenza in U.S. dairy herds provide ample evidence of the problems faced in rapidly detecting and responding to infectious disease outbreaks. A biosurveillance intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance system could address these gaps.
