Coordinated surveillance for influenza and other viruses with potential LISN - Longitudinal influenza surveillance network

What is coordinated surveillance in LISN? Coordinated Surveillance is conducted in livestock, wildlife and humans at their interface or points of contact to identify and other potential pandemic threats. Coordination is achieved in two ways: (1) focusing on areas where surveillance Piloted Provinces for systems in livestock, wildlife, and humans geographically overlap, and (2) joint analysis of Coordinated Surveillance (LISN) virological and epidemiological data from the different systems operating in these areas. (Dong Thap & Quang Ninh) Why is the coordinated surveillance needed? Pathogens that could cause a pandemic, can emerge from wildlife then propagate in livestock before becoming threat. Coordinated surveillance will provide early Paracel Islands evidence of potential pandemic threats to rapidly inform disease prevention and control. What is the key feature for LISN? LISN is built on the already existing surveillance systems and networks. It is specifically designed as an extension of on-going surveillance in livestock, wildlife and human population. The existing capacity will be enhanced so that it could be sustained without donor support in the future.

Output 3: Inform evidence-based Output 1: Monitor situation and Output 2: Understand the virological public health and animal health evolution of influenza viruses and epidemiological landscape prevention and response activities

Outcomes: • Strengthened laboratory, surveillance and risk assessment capacity • Increased human-animal interface surveillance data and information for decision-making

Objectives: • Strengthened capacity for preparedness and response to emerging disease and public health emergencies • Increased use of human-animal interface surveillance data and information for better decision-making

GOAL To build sustainable national and regional capacities and partnerships to ensure public health security through preparedness planning, prevention, early detection and rapid response to emerging diseases and other public health emergencies, in line with Internation\al Health Regulations (2005) and Performance of Veterinary Services (PVS) and as guided by Asia Pacific Strategy for Emerging Diseases (APSED) as well as Security Agenda (GHSA). © FAO, 2016 © FAO, I6174E/1/09.16
