The goals of infectious disease surveillance in war and in peace are the same: the detection of infectious diseases, outbreak identification and control, the assessment of vaccination programs, and the determination of the need for specific preventive measures. In the 1991 Gulf War, Israel's infectious disease surveillance system was utilized to follow the progress of a measles epidemic and to look for evidence of a concealed biological warfare attack. Stepped up mortality and morbidity surveillance, based on a prepared and smoothly functioning notification system, failed to uncover any suggestion that biological agents had been deployed.
发现传染病、识别和控制疫情、评估疫苗接种计划以及确定采取特定预防措施的必要性。在1991年海湾战争期间，以色列的传染病监测系统被用于跟踪麻疹疫情的进展，并寻找隐藏的生物战袭击的证据。基于一个准备充分且运作顺畅的通报系统加强了死亡率和发病率监测，但未能发现任何有关已部署生物制剂的迹象。
