Much progress has been made in recent years to strengthen local, state, national and international capacities to detect and respond to bioterrorism events and naturally occurring outbreaks of disease. New tools and systems are available to estimate the potential impact of a biological event and predict resource needs for effective response, enable earlier detection of an attack or outbreak, enhance diagnostic capacity and facilitate rapid intervention to mitigate the impact of an event on a community. These advances have required new approaches to preparedness, planning and surveillance, as well as new partnerships and collaborations across a range of disciplines. We examine some of these developments, discuss potential uses and limitations of these approaches, and identify priorities for the future.
近年来，在加强地方、州、国家和国际层面检测和应对生物恐怖主义事件以及自然发生的疾病暴发的能力方面取得了很大进展。现在有了新的工具和系统，可用于估计生物事件的潜在影响并预测有效应对所需的资源，实现对袭击或疾病暴发的早期检测，提高诊断能力，并促进快速干预以减轻事件对社区的影响。这些进展需要在准备、规划和监测方面采用新方法，以及在一系列学科领域建立新的伙伴关系与合作。我们审视其中的一些发展情况，讨论这些方法的潜在用途和局限性，并确定未来的优先事项。
