Abstract
Epidemic response encompasses enormous efforts from public health, medical, political, security, educational, and many other sectors of society—all beginning with a diagnosis. Yet, inadequate diagnostic systems and inequity in access to reliable diagnostic tests too often contribute to substantial delays in every aspect of outbreak response from initial detection to final containment. These delays are particularly relevant in outbreaks of high consequence pathogens that rapidly spread, for which a diagnosis serves to alert public health agencies and put in to motion the actions needed to provide care for people who are infected, protect those at risk, and prevent further transmission.
