Poverty magnifies limitations posed by traditional biases and environmental risks. Any approach towards disease control needs to recognise that socially embedded vulnerabilities can be as powerful as externally imposed infections. Asia Pacific has a specific panorama of infectious diseases, which, in common with other endemic areas, have a tendency to emerge or re-emerge if not carefully monitored. Sustained control aiming at elimination requires strong emphasis on surveillance and response. Well-designed informatics platforms can improve support systems and strengthen control activities, as they rapidly locate high-risk areas and provide detailed, up-to-date information on the performance of ongoing control programmes.
贫困加剧了传统偏见和环境风险带来的限制。任何疾病控制方法都需要认识到，社会中存在的脆弱性可能与外部感染一样具有强大的影响力。亚太地区具有特定的传染病格局，如果不加以仔细监测，这些传染病与其他地方一样，有可能再次出现或重新出现。要实现持续控制以达到消除的目标，就必须高度重视监测和应对。精心设计的信息学平台可以改善支持系统并加强控制活动，因为它们可以快速定位高风险地区，并提供正在进行的控制计划的详细、最新信息。
