Global Disease Detection Program: Scientific Publications

The Global Disease Detection (GDD) program collaborates with experts throughout CDC [135 KB, 1 page] along with ministries of health and international partners. Our publications reflect the diversity of public health issues in all regions of the world. The work cited below addresses disease-specific outbreaks and emergencies, surveillance and laboratory science, and cross-cutting priorities related to disease threats. These publications show the diversity and strong scientific foundations of CDC’s public health work.
