    Snippet: Particular attention should be given to laboratories, which provide support for border surveillance. For most of the infectious diseases of public health concern, laboratory confirmation is essential for planning and triggering the control and prevention actions. Thus, the organization of a laboratory network able to meet demands of the border areas would increase sensitivity, opportunity, and system specificity 31 . In North America, due to the .....
    Document: Particular attention should be given to laboratories, which provide support for border surveillance. For most of the infectious diseases of public health concern, laboratory confirmation is essential for planning and triggering the control and prevention actions. Thus, the organization of a laboratory network able to meet demands of the border areas would increase sensitivity, opportunity, and system specificity 31 . In North America, due to the systems developed at the borders, such as the Border Infectious Disease Surveillance (BIDS), there was a substantial reduction in disparities with surveillance capabilities in incompatibility of used case definitions. This resulted in increased diagnostic capacity and laboratory capability in the region 9 .
