The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is working to control new and existing infectious diseases worldwide.  As part of these efforts, the Infectious Disease Detection and Surveillance (IDDS) project supports countries to detect priority diseases and antimicrobial resistance through building national and sub-national capacities of countries to improve diagnostic networks and surveillance systems. This assistance adheres to the holistic One Health approach, which recognizes that people, animals, and their shared environment are interconnected.
