Arboviral disease surveillance staff perception of factors contributing to the a) success and b) barriers/challenges with respect to preparedness of arboviral diseases epidemics (ref Q54)

Country	Successes	Barriers
Australia
Brunei Darussalam
Cambodia
China	Aedes mosquito borne diseases in China have the characteristics of local transmission caused by import. Timely detection of suspected cases, timely laboratory detection and proper management of cases, as well as the ability of vector monitoring and control, and the preparation of relevant materials are the key to deal with the epidemic situation of mosquito borne diseases.
Cook Islands
French Polynesia
Japan
Kiribati
Lao People's Democratic Republic
Malaysia	Strong Surveillance System for Arboviruses (including Lab-based Surveillance) Strong National Program for Control of Arboviruses	High disease burden Unavailability of POCT kits for certain Arboviruses
Nauru
Papua New Guinea	Knowledge ; information , training and resource support.	No capacity building. No available resources/equipments
Philippines	Guidelines are in place for Dengue	High turn-over rate of staff Focused on Dengue No regular training for outbreak response (focused on disaster training)
Singapore	High awareness of arbovirus disease and prevention measures among the population. Preparedness plans are in place for arboviral disease epidemics. Whole-of-government approach is used for preparedness to disease epidemics, and tested through exercises and actual events (e.g. Zika epidemic in 2016). All exercises and events are evaluated through after-action reviews to improve our response. Continuous surveillance and monitoring of international and local arboviral outbreaks feed into national risk assessments and preparedness for epidemics.	Automation of information collection and management between national agencies.
