For SARS CoV-1 or SARS CoV-2, propose a potential plan for widespread elimination or high
levels of suppressive control – in a specific country of your choice (e.g. yaws in Rwanda).
A. Background:
The burden of disease caused by the infectious disease – why is this a problem, including
social, developmental, and economic impact;
Epidemiology of disease, including life cycle, mode of transmission, the force of
infection, R0
if known, any reservoirs (and specifically how these will be overcome),
infectivity, and virulence.
SES, population, and cultural factors (if appropriate) that may affect the implementation
of your eradication/elimination plan in the chosen specific country.
B. Control Tools:
Available treatments, effective prophylaxis, tools for control, vector control capabilities,
including a broad consideration of costs, if available/appropriate.
Can include a description of plausible tools that are not yet developed, including mHealth,
electronic surveillance, or other digital or innovative technology.
