Tóm tắt

 Through discussion the conference aims to: (1) Identify core components of a comprehensive global biosurveillance capability
  (2) Determine the scientific and technical bases to support such a program
  (3) Explore the improvement in biosurveillance to enhance regional and global disease outbreak prediction
  (4) Recommend an engagement approach to establishing an effective international community and regional or global network
  (5) Propose implementation strategies and the measures of effectiveness
  and (6) Identify the challenges that must be overcome in the next 3-5 years in order to establish an initial global biosurveillance capability that will have significant positive impact on BioNP as well as public health and/or agriculture. There is also a look back at the First Biothreat Nonproliferation Conference from December 2007. Whereas the first conference was an opportunity for problem solving to enhance and identify new paradigms for biothreat nonproliferation, this conference is moving towards integrated comprehensive global biosurveillance. Main reasons for global biosurveillance are: (1) Rapid assessment of unusual disease outbreak
  (2) Early warning of emerging, re-emerging and engineered biothreat enabling reduced morbidity and mortality
  (3) Enhanced crop and livestock management
  (4) Increase understanding of host-pathogen interactions and epidemiology
  (5) Enhanced international transparency for infectious disease research supporting BWC goals
  and (6) Greater sharing of technology and knowledge to improve global health.
