Overcoming emerging and reemerging infectious diseases and their effects with genomic research
Depending on various factors, infectious diseases can spread geographically from a country putting the rest of the world at risk. To prevent the spread of a disease with epidemic and pandemic potential, increased awareness, active disease surveillance, early diagnosis, and rapid communication of health systems to implement intervention measures are critical components. We hoped to use our well-equipped laboratory and well-trained personnel at CERID to significantly contribute to the control of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases in Africa and elsewhere.
