Military global influenza surveillance began in 1976 as an Air Force program. In 1997, the Department of Defense (DoD) Global Emerging Infections Surveillance and Response System expanded the program to include all services. Also included were local residents in areas where DoD overseas research activities operated. This new, worldwide DoD surveillance infrastructure provides valuable information and can respond quickly to outbreaks. This was demonstrated during the current influenza season when a suspected outbreak was reported in Panama. In less than 3 weeks, specimens were collected, transported, and cultured, and isolates were subtyped and sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for further studies. This influenza surveillance initiative combines viral isolation, antigenic characterization, and molecular sequencing with clinical and public health management of information. The information obtained is shared with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization and has contributed to important decisions in influenza vaccine composition.
军事全球流感监测始于1976年，当时是一项空军计划。1997年，国防部全球新兴感染监测与应对系统将该计划扩大到所有军种。国防部海外研究活动开展地区的当地居民也被纳入其中。这个新的、覆盖全球的国防部监测基础设施提供了有价值的信息，并能对疫情迅速做出反应。在当前流感季节巴拿马报告疑似疫情期间就证明了这一点。在不到3周的时间里，就完成了样本采集、运输和培养，分离株被分型并送往疾病控制与预防中心作进一步研究。这项流感监测举措将病毒分离、抗原特性鉴定和分子测序与信息的临床及公共卫生管理结合起来。所获得的信息与疾病控制与预防中心及世界卫生组织共享，并为流感疫苗成分的重要决策提供了依据。
