Tracking the global spread of diseases involves multiple strategies and tools:
Surveillance systems: National and international networks like the WHO's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) monitor disease outbreaks. Genomic sequencing: This technology helps identify and track the genetic changes in pathogens as they spread. Epidemiological models: Predictive models forecast the spread and impact of diseases. Data sharing: Timely and transparent sharing of data between countries and organizations is crucial.
