Application of Genomics to Prevent and Combat Emerging Infectious Disease Threats in Latin America: Perspectives from an Overseas U.S. Navy Research Command

Abstract excerpt

Endemic and (re)emerging infectious diseases pose a major threat to public health and military readiness in Central and South America. The high biodiversity and the differing transmission pathways require the use of highly sensitive methods to track the emergence and spread of these diseases. High-throughput sequencing technologies have become a critical resource for the field of infectious disease monitoring, spe...
