TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - From alert to laboratory: a coherent network designed to deal with to naturally occurring infectious disease outbreaks and bioterrorism JO - Bulletin de l'Academie Nationale de Medecine A1 - Binder, Patrice A1 - Brucker, Gilles A1 - Josseran, Loïc SP - 1005 EP - 1018 VL - 191 IS - 6 N2 - Public health prevention requires early detection of disease outbreaks, whether naturally occurring or due to bioterrorism. Permanent surveillance and a network of laboratories are the two main pillars of effective outbreak management. Coordination of information, training, and procedures are under the responsibility of the French public health watch institute and the scientific advisory board for the Biotox-Piratox laboratory network. Protective capacities against bioterrorism are improving but efforts must continue.
