From Traps to Taxa: Building a Robust DNA Barcode Reference Library for the Early Detection of Invasive Cerambycidae

Ecology and Evolution
Accurate and rapid identification of insect species is essential for effective biosurveillance, especially with increasing global trade and the spread of invasive pests.

Identifying Early Signals From Emerging Public Health Events Using Natural Language Processing. [PDF]

Interdiscip Perspect Infect Dis
Timely detection of emerging public health threats is challenging because the surveillance infrastructure is not yet tuned to the emerging threat. We attempt to identify three nonspecific early signals that might be common across emerging events: public health authority communication, zoonotic exposure mentions, and other pathogen exposure mentions ...

Ethical Issues Involved in Solid Organ Xenotransplantation. [PDF]

Clin Anat
ABSTRACT Xenotransplantation (specifically, genetically modified pig‐to‐human transplant of organs, tissues, or cells) clinical trials are set to begin in the United States after decades of pre‐clinical studies and recent decedent and compassionate use investigations. This article provides a primer on the key ethical issues attendant with this emerging

The Ethics of Biosurveillance [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, 2019
Governments must keep agricultural systems free of pests that threaten agricultural production and international trade. Biosecurity surveillance already makes use of a wide range of technologies, such as insect traps and lures, geographic information systems, and diagnostic biochemical tests.

Biosurveillance: A Review and Update [PDF]

Advances in Preventive Medicine, 2012
Since the terrorist attacks and anthrax release in 2001, almost $32 billion has been allocated to biodefense and biosurveillance in the USA alone. Surveillance in health care refers to the continual systematic collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of data.

Operational Considerations in Global Health Modeling

Pathogens, 2021
Epidemiological modeling and simulation can contribute cooperatively across multifaceted areas of biosurveillance systems. These efforts can be used to support real-time decision-making during public health emergencies and response operations.

Assessing the Application of a Genomic Network Analysis in Population Ecology: Inferring Patterns of Dispersal and Geographic Structure in the Emerging Pathogen, <i>Coccidioides</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Machine learning has improved upon traditional methods of identifying population structure and is more efficient at handling large, complex datasets. We demonstrate the applicability of a machine learning method to identify hierarchical population structure in an emerging pathogen, Coccidioides spp., the causative agent of Valley fever.
