This spring, Public Health Command-Pacific’s Entomology and Environmental Molecular Biology Laboratory service lines will launch the first ever Pre-Exercise Vector Surveillance program for the Indo-Pacific region.
The new initiative is a pilot program funded by the Global Emerging Infectious Surveillance program, also known as GEIS, a section of the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Branch.
The vision of GEIS is to mitigate the threat of emerging infectious diseases to the U.S. military through a global laboratory network. The network is designed to help influence force health protection decision-making and enhance global health security.
One of the primary ways GEIS accomplishes this task is by providing timely, actionable infectious disease surveillance information to Geographic Combatant Commands and partner agencies, according to Maj. Michael Kwon, director of PHC-P s Environmental Health Services Directorate.
