Emerging infectious diseases are an ever-present threat to our community, as highlighted by the recent SARS epidemic and current fears concerning avian influenza. The research proposed by this project will help policy makers implement effective border control and outbreak control against a variety of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, including SARS, influenza and the deliberate release of an infectious disease such as smallpox. The project will enhance preparedness through a better understanding of the relative merits of different control strategies, and provide new methodology that can dynamically guide border and outbreak control in the midst of an outbreak by making effective use of data.

新出现的传染病对我们的社区始终构成威胁，最近的 SARS 流行和当前对禽流感的担忧凸显了这一点。该项目提出的研究将帮助政策制定者对各种新出现和重新出现的传染病实施有效的边境管制和疫情控制，包括SARS、流感和天花等传染病的故意释放。该项目将通过更好地了解不同控制策略的相对优点来加强准备，并提供新的方法，通过有效利用数据，在疫情爆发期间动态指导边境和疫情控制。
