Domestic Operation of the Domestic Biological Terrorism Response Laboratory Network
- Inspection of Grade B laboratories in the laboratory network for preparedness against domestic occurrences of bioterrorism agents such as anthrax
- Distribution of diagnostic reagents for biological terrorism infectious disease pathogens
- Training and proficiency evaluation* for personnel responsible for pathogen diagnosis and detection testing Culture testing of high-risk pathogens and genetic detection testing of unidentified environmental samples
International Continuation of participation in Laboratory Network
- Securing the latest diagnostic testing methods and reagents for biological terrorism pathogens
- Participation in proficiency evaluation for detection and testing of biological terrorism pathogens
This image is a pyramid diagram that categorizes the institutions participating in the biological terrorism response laboratory network into different levels.
- Level C Lab: Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA)
- Level B Lab: Public Health and Environment Research Institute, Regional Disease Control Centers, Ministry of National Defense related institutions (Chemical Corps, Medical Corps)
- Level A Lab: Quarantine Stations, Public Health Centers, Medical Institution Laboratories, Ministry of National Defense related institutions (Subordinate Units)
Meaning: The higher the level, the more centralized and specialized the role, while lower levels are responsible for regional and on-site responses.
This diagram represents the linkage system of the biological terrorism response laboratory network.
- Level C: The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) is the highest-level institution, cooperating with the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency.
- Level B: This includes the Public Health and Environment Research Institutes of the provinces, Disease Control Centers, and Ministry of National Defense-related institutions (Chemical Corps, Medical Corps). They perform information exchange and specimen referral with the KDCA and lower-level institutions.
- Level A: This includes the Public Health Centers of cities, counties, and districts, medical institution laboratories, and Ministry of National Defense-related institutions (subordinate units). They refer specimens collected in the region to higher-level institutions and share information.
Information Flow: Information and specimens collected from Level A institutions are transmitted to Level B and the KDCA, and higher-level institutions provide feedback with results and information to lower-level institutions.
