  • Descrição: Abstract Background The surveillance and identification of emerging, reemerging, and unknown infectious disease pathogens is essential to national public health preparedness and relies on fluidity, coordination, and interconnectivity between public and private surveillance systems and networks. Implementing and sustaining programs to detect emerging and re-emerging pathogens in humans using advanced molecular methods, such as metagenomic sequencing, requires large investments in testing equipment and developing networks of clinicians, laboratory scientists, and bioinformaticians. Methods This study sought to gain an understanding of the role of federal government agencies in supporting such pathogen-agnostic testing of human specimens in the United States. A landscape analysis was conducted of federal agency websites for publicly accessible information on the availability and type of pathogen-agnostic testing and details on flow of clinical specimens and data. The website analysis was supplemented by expert review of results with representatives from the federal agencies. Results Operating divisions within the Department of Health and Human Services and the US Department of Veterans Affairs have developed and sustained extensive clinical and research networks to obtain patient specimens and perform metagenomic sequencing at scale. Metagenomic facilities supported by US agencies were not equally geographically distributed across the US. Although many entities have work dedicated to metagenomics and/or support emerging infectious disease surveillance specimen collection, there was minimal apparent collaboration across agencies. Conclusion Developing a national sentinel surveillance network with existing resources and infrastructure could potentially increase efficiency, accelerate identification of emerging biothreats, and support coordinated intervention strategies that reduce morbidity and mortality.
