Article Synopsis
  • Tidal wetlands can absorb greenhouse gases, but methane emissions can vary due to environmental factors and human activities.
  • Land managers require detailed maps of methane properties in these wetlands for effective restoration and greenhouse gas inventories, yet current sampling methods don't align well with broader mapping products.
  • Research involved sampling 27 tidal wetlands, revealing that sulfate concentration is the strongest predictor of methane levels, while salinity also plays a significant role; future studies should focus on understanding local environmental influences on methane variation.

Cross-border surveillance for emerging diseases such as Ebola and other infectious diseases requires effective international collaboration. We surveyed representatives from 12 multinational disease surveillance programs between January 2013 and April 2014. Our survey identified programmatic similarities despite variation in health priorities, geography, and socioeconomic context, providing a contemporary perspective on infectious disease surveillance networks.
