Role of global disease detection laboratories in investigations of acute respiratory illness
Fields BS , House BL , Klena J , Waboci LW , Whistler T , Farnon EC . J Infect Dis 2013 208 Suppl 3 S173-6 Since 2001, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has established 10 GDD Regional Centers, serving primarily resource-constrained locations in Thailand, Kenya, Guatemala, Egypt, China, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, India, South Africa, and Georgia [1]. GDD laboratories support the following GDD Center programs that require diagnostic testing for emerging infectious diseases: the International Emerging Infections Program (IEIP), the One Health Program, the Field Epidemiology Training Program, the Influenza Program, and the Refugee Health Program (unique to the GDD Regional Center in Kenya). The laboratory leaders at each GDD Center also serve as the center's advisor for the Strengthening Laboratory Capacity Program, through which they advise the host country on means of improving laboratory capacity to support the International Health Regulations [2]. In the 6 GDD Centers whose IEIP programs conduct population-based surveillance for acute respiratory illness and other syndromes, laboratory support is provided through GDD laboratories (in Thailand, Kenya, and Guatemala), through laboratories run by the GDD partner institution (in China and Bangladesh), or a combination of both (in Egypt). |
