Research Abstract

In the 21st century, there have been newly emerging infectious diseases such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and pandemic influenza. Compared with ordinal epidemic prone diseases, recent emerging infectious diseases pose a greater threat at a global level. Therefore it is required to develop an efficient early warning system, which is consist of strengthen of routine surveillance as well as development of new systems. In this study, we revealed that active case findings can warrant an efficient outbreak response especially among displaced population. In addition, it is important to understand the background information in the countries when introducing new methodology available in developed counties. To improve laboratory confirmation in these settings, new methodologies including genetic detection and antibody detection methods shoulde be developed.
