Special Pathogens Research Network (SPRN) Research on High-Consequence Pathogens

The State of the Science Working Group of NETEC’s Special Pathogens Research Network (SPRN) consists of national subject matter experts from participating NETEC and Regional Emerging Special Pathogens Treatment Centers (RESPTC). The group compiles and disseminates cutting edge research related to high-consequence pathogens. These manuscripts provide clinicians and researchers with information and resources they need to quickly understand emerging pathogens, associated clinical syndromes, effective treatments, and clinical management strategies.
