Description:

What’s New in TGS: In preparation for fall/winter respiratory season, TGS launched a nasal sampling multipathogen pilot, which will test for Flu A/B, RSV, SARS-CoV-2, and other respiratory pathogens.

The Traveler-based Genomic Surveillance program (TGS), led by CDC’s Travelers’ Health Branch, is a public-private partnership that plays an important role in U.S. national biosecurity through its two major goals:

1. early detection of new SARS-CoV-2 variants and other pathogens and

2. filling in gaps in global biosurveillance.
