It is impossible to address the many complex needs of respiratory virus surveillance with a single system. Therefore, multiple surveillance systems and complementary studies must fit together as tiles in a "mosaic" to provide a complete picture of the risk, transmission, severity, and impact of respiratory viruses of epidemic and pandemic potential.
