Role of research Laboratories in pandemic and epidemic response in the Eastern Mediterranean Region : Experiences from COVID-19, avian influenza, and MERS-CoV

© 2024 The Authors. Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd..

We share the experience of research laboratories in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) that contributed to preparedness and response to highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), Middle-East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Research groups in the region were pivotal in identifying, characterizing the pathogens and describing their evolution, distribution, transmission routes, and the immunological profile of exposed populations. They demonstrated the capacity to develop and test antivirals and potential vaccines. The EMR experience is a model of how national systems can work with researchers to improve regional preparedness and response to future epidemics and pandemics.
