Museums and Emerging Pathogens ECHO Program

The majority of emerging diseases in humans come from wildlife. However, wildlife biorepositories – which include wildlife DNA and other biological materials – are largely absent from global responses to emerging infectious diseases.

This gap limits our ability to identify disease origins and wildlife hosts, as well as environmental associations that may contribute to disease in humans. Our program is helping solve this issue. We bring together experts and their biological materials across the Americas in an effort to build cross-disciplinary collaborations.

Our meeting topics are contributed by members and range from benefits sharing, pathogen surveillance, permitting and biodiversity informatics.
