LSD Core Functions

 

Analyze vector-borne viral, bacterial, and rickettsial diseases of military public health significance. Provide routine (vector-borne) and responsive (COVID-19) pathogen detection services in support of Army personnel health readiness. LSD works to support efforts of installation public health sections by generating technical data for their missions. Vector-borne disease testing enables timely action to control pests when emerging diseases enter a region. COVID-19 surveillance data enables installation public health to advise garrison commanders on appropriate health protection measures based on the health of the community.
