In this talk Dr. KLENA will present some data regarding the epidemiology of diarrheal diseases in some Middle Eastern countries (primarily Egypt and Libya ) and discuss methods that have been used to characterize bacterial and viral pathogens. As part of the talk he will discuss PulseNet International, a mechanism for detection of diffuse food-borne outbreaks, Calicinet, a network for characterizing outbreaks caused by noroviruses, and whole genome sequencing initiatives, and discuss whether these systems are a good model for the current public health situation in China .
