Sharing Data for Global Infectious Disease Surveillance and Outbreak Detection

Abstract

Rapid global sharing and comparison of epidemiological and genomic data on infectious diseases would enable more rapid and efficient global outbreak control and tracking of diseases. Several barriers for global sharing exist but, in our opinion, the presumed magnitude of the problems appears larger than they are, and solutions can be found.

Keywords: bacteria; genomics; infection; metagenomics; surveillance; virus.
