ADDRESSING EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN BANGLADESH

描述(申请人提供)：孟加拉国是一个新发传染病的高风险国家，因为它的人口密度高和贫困。新出现的传染病，如流感、艾滋病毒和SARS，可能威胁到世界各地的所有人。多年来，美国疾病控制和预防中心与孟加拉国国际腹泻病研究中心进行了卓有成效的合作，包括自2004年9月以来就新发传染病达成合作协议。这个新项目建立在以前项目成果的基础上。该项目将提供一个行政、监测和研究平台，以确定孟加拉国新出现的传染病，并促进疾控中心科学家与孟加拉国当地同事在识别、表征和控制这些威胁方面的合作。它将描述孟加拉国季节性流感的负担，保持对孟加拉国新出现的危险流感毒株的监测，并制定和测试减少人类流感负担的战略。它将确定孟加拉国人与动物之间传播流感病毒的风险，并制定和评估减轻这一风险的战略。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Bangladesh is a high risk country for emerging infectious diseases because of its high population density and poverty. Emerging Infectious diseases like influenza, HIV and SARS can threaten all people throughout the world. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has collaborated productively with the International Centre for Diarrheal Disease research, Bangladesh for many years including with a cooperative agreement working on emerging infectious diseases since September 2004. This new project, builds upon the prior project's accomplishments. The project would provide an administrative, surveillance, and research platform that identifies emerging infectious diseases in Bangladesh and facilitates the collaboration of CDC scientists with local Bangladeshi colleagues in identification, characterization, and control of these threats. It would describe the burden of seasonal influenza in Bangladesh, maintain surveillance for dangerous emerging strains of influenza in Bangladesh, and develop and test strategies to reduce human influenza burden. It would characterize the risks of animal to human transmission of influenza virus at the human animal interface in Bangladesh and develop and evaluate strategies to mitigate that risk.
