Key result
Seroepidemiology and serum banks serve as powerful tools for assessing population immunity, forecasting epidemiological risks, and guiding biosafety measures for vaccine-preventable diseases.
Seroepidemiology and serum banks are valuable tools for monitoring population immunity and guiding public health decisions for vaccine-preventable diseases.
Supports population immunity monitoring via seroepidemiology; leaves open need for standardized serum bank protocols in future studies.
Seroepidemiology is a potentially powerful tool for predicting and monitoring the effectiveness of specific prevention program using studies of antibody prevalence. The availability of a certified collection of blood serum (serum bank) allows to carry out a reliable assessment of population immunity to vaccine-preventable diseases; to determine the degree of epidemiological risk of the infection spread in various areas of the country; to implement short-term and long-term forecasting of changes in the situation on topical infections; to substantiate preventive measures in the system of biosafety for defined population groups and decreed contingents; to provide information necessary for making the optimal management decisions.
