EcoHealth Consortium Workshop on Emerging Infectious Diseases and Information Technology

Abstract

During March 9-11 2005 a meeting was convened by the East West Center and the Asia-Pacific Institute of Tropical Medicine and Infectious Diseases at the University of Hawaii as part of National Institutes of Health Roadmap initiative "Research Teams of the Future". The meeting was entitled Emerging Infectious Diseases and Social-Ecological Systems. The purpose of this meeting was to advance interdisciplinary methods for investigation of the problem of emerging infectious diseases. While the meeting focused primarily on conceptual integration employing a holistic systems perspective based on the emerging paradigms employing complexity theory a parallel workshop was held on the applications of remote sensing GIS and environmental sensing technology. This document summarizes the results of the meeting and workshop including the post-meeting synthesis as they relate to environmental sensing technology and the potential applications to biosecurity.
