Abstract

Surveillance and early warning are key parts of a country's biosecurity capability. In this paper, we investigate the overall status of US and other countries' research and development regarding their own capability for biosurveillance. We make several recommendations to strengthen biosurveillance capability in China, including strategic-planning formulation, mechanism reform, personnel training, and infrastructure platform construction. In addition, we comment on strengthening the supporting role of science and technology.
