Current situation and prospect of respiratory syncytial virus surveillance system / 预防医学

ABSTRACT

@#Respiratory syncytial virus（RSV）is the most common pathogen of lower respiratory infection among infants,leading to serious burden of disease all over the world. The surveillance of RSV plays an important role in preventing and controlling its epidemic. At present,the surveillance systems of RSV are not as global as that of influenza,which have been established much more and earlier in the developed countries. The RSV surveillance system are manifested in two types：specific and standard surveillance systems established by very few developed countries and surveillance systems based on the influenza surveillance established by most other countries. This article reviews the current status and prospect of RSV surveillance systems to provide reference for the development of RSV surveillance system in the future.
