Traveler-based Genomic Surveillance: A Scalable Approach to Early Pathogen Detection and Global Biosecurity

2026-04-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> In September 2021, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) implemented the Traveler-based Genomic Surveillance (TGS) program, a surveillance system that leverages genomic sequencing of samples from international air travelers and aviation wastewater for early detection of infectious threats. <h4>Methods</h4> During September 2021–August 2024, nasal samples were collected ano...
