Wildlife Biosurveillance: Protecting Animal and Public Health in Singapore
Singapore, envisioned as a City in Nature, hosts a rich variety of wildlife that contributes to a healthy urban ecosystem. With humans and animals living in such close proximity, wildlife biosurveillance becomes vital for detecting disease threats and safeguarding public health.
