Environmental Bioterrorism Detection
The Environmental Bioterrorism Detection (EBD) program is a wildlife-disease
monitoring network that collects and analyzes clinical data from
wildlife hospitals, wildlife rehabilitation organizations, veterinarians
and individuals. IDHS members will develop methodologies to couple
the EBD network to a federal Epidemic Outbreak Surveillance network
currently in development for human disease to provide a more complete
bio-surveillance system. The program will exploit emerging defense
medical technology to allow rapid pathogen identification and national
alerts.
