Public health preparedness requires effective surveillance of and rapid response to infectious disease outbreaks. Inclusion of research activities within the outbreak setting provides important opportunities to maximize limited resources, to enhance gains in scientific knowledge, and ultimately to increase levels of preparedness. With rapid advances in laboratory technologies, banking and analysis of human genomic specimens can be conducted as part of public health investigations, enabling valuable research well into the future.
公共卫生防备需要对传染病爆发进行有效监测和快速响应。在疫情环境中纳入研究活动提供了重要机会，可以最大限度地利用有限资源，增进科学知识的积累，最终提高防备水平。随着实验室技术的快速发展，对人类基因组标本的储存和分析可以作为公共卫生调查的一部分进行，从而为未来的有价值研究奠定基础。
