Guest Lecture with Prof. Kevin Messacar

A Paralysis Mystery solved
Children with sudden, unexplained paralysis. Behind it, a common respiratory virus. The story of how the EV-D68 and EV-A71 outbreaks were pieced together, and why clinical observation deserves a seat at the surveillance table.

From Clinic to Outbreak Response
This talk follows how multimodal enterovirus surveillance combining clinical, epidemiological and genomic data was translated into preparedness. It provides a working model for any emerging pathogen where the first evidence appears in a clinic long before it appears in a surveillance dataset.
