Asia Pacific Emerg­ing Infec­tions Net­work (AP-EINet), founded in 1996, is an APEC-approved project based at the Uni­ver­sity of Wash­ing­ton in Seat­tle, USA. AP-EINet is ded­i­cated to pro­vid­ing timely and reli­able infor­ma­tion via the Inter­net on issues of emerg­ing infec­tious dis­eases in the Asia Pacific. By enhanc­ing the knowl­edge, aware­ness and under­stand­ing of emerg­ing infec­tious dis­eases, we hope that health, trade, and pol­icy pro­fes­sion­als will be bet­ter pre­pared against such dis­eases and other bio-threats. We also actively pro­mote com­mu­ni­ca­tion, coor­di­na­tion, and col­lab­o­ra­tion between the 21 APEC mem­ber economies to enhance regional bio-preparedness in the Asia Pacific.
