The Handbook of Biosurveillance is the first comprehensive, unified, multidisciplinary examination of the field of biosurveillance—the systematic process of data collection and analysis for the purposes of detecting and characterizing outbreaks of disease in humans and animals in a timely manner. Written by members and partners of the RODS Laboratory, the Handbook of Biosurveillance reviews the state-of-the-art in the practice and research of biosurveillance and covers all facets of the emerging discipline. The very real threat posed by emerging infections and bioterrorism has challenged and revolutionized the field of biosurveillance, stressing the importance of cooperation among myriad public and private institutions, the need for a synthesis of research and knowledge from varied disciplines, and the requirement for farsighted and competent leadership within biosurveillance organizations and at all levels of government, particularly our executive branch.
