La diversité des risques sanitaires - médicaments, maladies infectieuses transmissibles, maladies vectorielles, pollutions environnementales, risque d'attentat - complexifie leur surveillance. Qui plus est, l'incertitude inhérente à des émergences et les controverses scientifiques rendent les situations difficiles à interpréter surtout quand les signaux sont faibles. Face à ces menaces protéiformes, surprenantes et souvent insidieuses, l'inquiétude des citoyens est palpable aussi bien à l'échelle d'un établissement de santé que de la Nation. Et pourtant, l'efficacité de la réaction de la société dépend de l'implication de chacun et de chacune. C'est pourquoi il a semblé important aux auteurs de partager leur expérience de gestion des alertes et des crises dans ce glossaire thématique s'adressant aussi bien aux professionnels, aux collectivités, aux étudiants qu'aux citoyens. L'ouvrage aborde, en les vulgarisant grâce à des définitions contextualisées, les principales notions de la veille et de la sécurité sanitaire et de la gestion des situations sanitaires exceptionnelles. Il devrait permettre aux acteurs de s'approprier des concepts qui leur permettront de participer efficacement à la gestion des prochaines crises sanitaires. La collection « Les mots de la santé publique » est composée de glossaires thématiques permettant d'aborder, sous un angle pédagogique et avec un éclairage contextualisé, les notions fondamentales de la santé publique.

This publication by the World Health Organization outlines a comprehensive framework for resilient surveillance of respiratory viruses with epidemic and pandemic potential. The framework, termed 'Crafting the Mosaic,' aims to enhance detection, monitoring, and response strategies for emerging and re-emerging respiratory viruses. It emphasizes the integration of various surveillance systems and technologies, such as electronic health records and rapid testing, to improve public health interventions. The document is intended for global health authorities and policymakers, providing guidance on aligning with existing initiatives and adapting strategies to local contexts. It addresses the need for continuous evaluation and collaboration to strengthen global health security.

Bioterrorism is not a new threat, but in an increasingly interconnected world, the potential for catastrophic outcomes is greater today than ever. The medical and public health communities are establishing biosurveillance systems designed to proactively monitor populations for possible disease outbreaks as a first line of defense. The ideal biosurveillance system should identify trends not visible to individual physicians and clinicians in near-real time. Many of these systems use statistical algorithms to look for anomalies and to trigger epidemiologic investigation, quantification, localization and outbreak management. This book discusses the design and evaluation of statistical methods for effective biosurveillance for readers with minimal statistical training. Weaving public health and statistics together, it presents basic and more advanced methods, with a focus on empirically demonstrating added value. Although the emphasis is on epidemiologic and syndromic surveillance, the statistical methods can be applied to a broad class of public health surveillance problems.

This publication by the World Health Organization outlines the Tricycle protocol, a comprehensive global surveillance strategy for monitoring antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Escherichia coli using a 'One Health' approach. It aims to integrate data from human, food, and environmental sources to track the prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing E. coli (ESBL-Ec). The document provides a detailed methodology for sampling and data collection at national, regional, and global levels, emphasizing the need for collaboration among health, agricultural, and environmental sectors. The protocol is designed to help countries build robust AMR surveillance systems, enhance laboratory capacities, and support the development of strategies to combat AMR, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The intended audience includes health professionals, policymakers, and organizations involved in AMR surveillance and control.
