Relative risk of an EID event
Zoonotic pathogen, wildlife Zoonotic pathogen, non-wildlife
Drug-resistant pathogens Vector-borne pathogens
Jones et al.
Drivers: socio-economic, environmental, ecological

“….. global resources to counter
disease emergence are poorly
allocated, with the majority of the
scientific and surveillance efforts
focused on countries from where the
next important EID is least likely to
originate.”

The strengthening of medical laboratory systems can be achieved by
establishing and implementing comprehensive national laboratory
policy and strategic plans (also addressing HR).

teleMicrobiology project
• To enhance diagnostic microbiology capacity
through knowledge transfer and continuous
education and training.
• Taking advantage of technical developments,
enabling high resolution imaging and distant
learning.
• Vietnam is ideal setting for proof of concept of
this approach

Main outcome measures of pilot project:
performance in eLearning
frequency of interactions
frequency of use of eCamera
Future development of teleMicrobiology concept:
Create networks
Use in designated program, e.g. AMR surveillance
Not restricted to any geographical region or setting!
