ADDRESSING EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN BANGLADESH

描述（由申请人提供）：孟加拉国人口密度高，贫困，是新发传染病的高风险国家。流感、艾滋病毒和非典型肺炎等新出现的传染病可以威胁全世界所有人。多年来，美国疾病控制与预防中心与孟加拉国国际腹泻病研究中心开展了富有成效的合作，包括自2004年9月以来就新发传染病达成的合作协议。这个新项目建立在先前项目的成就之上。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，并促进疾病预防控制中心科学家与孟加拉国当地同事在确定、描述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，保持对孟加拉国危险的新流感毒株的监测，并制定和试验减轻人类流感负担的战略。它将描述流感病毒在孟加拉国人-动物界面从动物向人类传播的风险，并制定和评估减轻这种风险的战略。

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.
