Time Required

In response to the threat of introductions of non-native forest insects, the Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) program in Alaska monitors for arrivals of non-native insects, an effort that is limited by the time required to process samples using morphological methods. We compared conventional methods of processing EDRR traps with metabarcoding methods for processing the same samples. We deployed Lindgren funnel traps at three points of entry in Alaska using standard EDRR methods and trap samples were later processed using routine sorting and identification based on morphology. Samples were then processed using High Throughput Sequencing (HTS) metabarcoding methods. In three samples bycatch was included and in three samples non-native species were added. Morophological and HTS methods yielded generally similar results for scolytine and cerambycid beetle assemblages, but HTS provided more species-resolution identifications (46 species) than morphological methods (4 species plus the 3 non-native species known a priori). None of the non-native species were detected by HTS. Including bycatch did not appear to hinder identifications of scolytine and cerambycid beetles by HTS. From among the bycatch, two Palearctic species adventive to North America, Placusa incompleta Sjöberg, 1934 and Hydrophoria lancifer (Harris, 1780), are newly reported from Alaska. We do not recommend replacing our current morphological monitoring methods with HTS methods because we believe that we would be more likely to detect known non-native pest species using morphology. However, we would use HTS to increase our sample size without greatly increasing time required to process samples. We would also recommend HTS methods for surveillance monitoring where the set of target taxa is not limited to known pest species.

Dubai Health Authority (DHA) is the entity regulating the healthcare sector in the Emirate of Dubai, ensuring high quality and safe healthcare services delivery to the population. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic on the 11th of March 2020, indicating to the world that further infection spread is very likely, and alerting countries that they should be ready for possible widespread community transmission. The first case of COVID-19 in the United Arab Emirates was confirmed on 29th of January 2020; since then, the number of cases has continued to grow exponentially. As of 8th of July 2020 (end of the day), 53,045 cases of coronavirus have been confirmed with a death toll of 327 cases. The UAE has conducted over 3,720,000 COVID-19 tests among UAE citizens and residents over the past four months, in line with the government’s plans to strengthen virus screening to contain the spread of COVID-19. There were vital UAE policies, laws, regulations, and decrees that have been announced for immediate implementation to limit the spread of COVID- 19, to prevent panic and to ensure the overall food, nutrition, and well-being are provided. The UAE is amongst the World’s Top 10 for COVID-19 Treatment Efficiency and in the World’s Top 20 for the implementation of COVID-19 Safety measures. The UAE’s mission is to work towards resuming life after COVID-19 and enter into the recovery phases. This policy research paper will discuss the Dubai Health Authority’s rapid response initiatives towards combating the control and spread of COVID-19 and future policy implications and recommendations. The underlying factors and policy options will be discussed in terms of governance, finance, and delivery.
