Abstract :

The increasing frequency of zoonotic spill over events highlights the urgent need for robust viral surveillance systems. This presentation examines integrated genomic and ecological surveillance approaches for early detection of emerging zoonotic viruses. Case studies involving coronaviruses and filo viruses are discussed to illustrate how real-time sequencing and global data sharing can reduce outbreak response times. The talk emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to prevent future pandemics.
