SIPS
An essential component of pandemic preparedness is "early recognition" of new strains of influenza viruses. There are two new influenza viruses that pose a threat of a pandemic.
- Avian Influenza A (H5N1)
- Swine Influenza A (H1N1)
The SIPS project can help local hospitals with rapid identification of severe influenza pneumonia.
