Emerging risks can be identified through several methods:
1. Surveillance Systems: Monitoring systems that track disease incidence and prevalence can help identify unusual patterns that may indicate emerging threats. 2. Genomic Sequencing: Advances in genetic sequencing allow for the rapid identification of novel pathogens. 3. Epidemiological Studies: Investigations into the causes and patterns of disease can highlight emerging risks. 4. Collaborative Networks: Global health organizations and networks facilitate the sharing of information and resources to identify and respond to emerging risks.
