4 4 Emerging Disease Surveillance and Response (ESR) WHO Western Pacific Regional Office (WPRO) Current WHO EQAP for detection of influenza A by PCR Strengths? Helps labs to correct mistakes, learn from mistakes Can have several staff run the panel Panel sent directly to lab (not stuck in customs), condition good Weaknesses? Paper reports and lots of printing Doesn’t have unsubtypeable influenza A virus Areas to improve? Web-based data entry although may not be ideal for all countries Consider including a low path H9 (some labs could identify)

5 5 Emerging Disease Surveillance and Response (ESR) WHO Western Pacific Regional Office (WPRO) Other programmes: do you participate in the following? List the labs participating in the following programmes Fee-paying: –QCMD (Indonesia paid for by Welcome Trust) –NEQAS –CAP Free: –CDC pilot (Thailand yes, Indonesia yes, Sri Lanka not yet, in discussions with Myanmar) Strengths and Weaknesses of the above programmes - Do we need to participate in more than one? - CDC panel requires extraction on all specimens; can test limit of detection; may be available beyond NICs

6 6 Emerging Disease Surveillance and Response (ESR) WHO Western Pacific Regional Office (WPRO) Scope of EQAP: Needs to be expanded? Virus culture – Can do - Myanmar, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Australia This should be expanded first (priority, maybe WHO should support) Antivirals (phenotypic or genotypic) – Can do – Australia (both), Thailand (both), Indonesia (sequencing), Myanmar sends to Japan Less important for EQAP Sequencing Can do – Thailand, Indonesia, Australia EQAP – Australia developing one with CDC Serology Can do – Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka (can do but don’t any more)

7 7 Emerging Disease Surveillance and Response (ESR) WHO Western Pacific Regional Office (WPRO) Preferred features of EQAP? Number of samples Type of samples –Include more inactivated viruses Frequency Time to reporting Format of reports –Web-based reporting (but not for all countries)
