Early identification and surveillance of novel and emerging infectious diseases, and understanding the structural factors that contribute to delays, are important for timely public health responses and situational awareness. The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 demonstrated that even though an outbreak was readily detected, the ability to contain the pathogen within source countries and prevent international dissemination may fail. This programme of work will consider the following research questions: (1) What factors may delay the reporting of new disease cases and may indicate an underdeveloped national reporting infrastructure; (2) What are the practical limits on detecting and containing novel outbreaks before international dissemination occurs; (3) Can international travel and passenger information be used to infer incidence in countries/regions with significant underreporting of a new or emerging infectious disease?

及早发现和监测新型和新出现的传染病，并了解造成延误的结构性因素，对于及时采取公共卫生对策和了解情况十分重要。SARS-CoV-2的出现表明，即使疫情很容易被发现，但将病原体控制在来源国并防止国际传播的能力可能会失败。这一工作方案将考虑下列研究问题：（1）哪些因素可能会延迟报告新的疾病病例，并可能表明国家报告基础设施不发达;（2）在国际传播发生之前发现和控制新的疾病暴发的实际限制是什么;（3）国际旅行和旅客信息能否用于推断新发或新出现传染病严重漏报的国家/地区的发病率？
