Detta ratio kan i sin tur anses vara en proxy för andelen infekterade individer i populationen i avloppsvattnets upptagningsområde. diff --git a/data/events.json b/data/events.json index 7248b8f11..be57c2918 100644 --- a/data/events.json +++ b/data/events.json @@ -54,6 +54,30 @@ "registration_url": "https://fitwise.eventsair.com/pandemic2023/", "description": "The conference is dedicated to accelerating the discovery, creation and equitable application of practical solutions to epidemic and pandemic threats worldwide.Over the last three years, the tireless work of the global scientific and research community in addressing COVID-19 has protected health systems, restored livelihoods and saved millions of lives.

In addition to the ongoing health threat from SARS-CoV-2, the risk from other emerging pathogens also persists, which will also require similar concerted action to identify and characterise infections with pandemic potential, and enable rapid public health action to mitigate health and societal impact. Provision of comprehensive open data on infectious agents and diseases during outbreaks support evidence-based quality assessment - across scientific, medical, public health and policy domains and promotes reproducibility of research outcomes. Particular importance should be placed on mobilising raw viral sequences and identifying and monitoring the spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants.
