Capacity building for ecological surveillance of viral hemorrhagic fevers in Sierra Leone

Purpose Detection and monitoring the burden of infections for high consequence pathogens in animal reservoirs represent a critical step to mitigate and control outbreaks.

These activities require a well-developed in-country capacity to perform collection of appropriate samples, detection and

differential diagnostic using established laboratory methods for VHF, and curation of samples in a sustainable and secure manner.

This FOA supports the establishment of such ecological surveillance program in forest-dwelling animals to promote yearly monitoring of the burden of infections in these animals
