Agnostic Detection Challenges and Opportunities
Because of the importance of speed in responding to emerging public health threats, agnostic detection can play an important role in strengthening surveillance globally. While traditional detection techniques are target specific, agnostic detection methods are unbiased approaches that can surveil the environment to detect a broad range of pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi, […]
