Health in Horizon 2020 PHC 7 – 2014: Improving the control of infectious epidemics and foodborne outbreaks through rapid identification of pathogens  Specific challenge: Threat of epidemics caused by existing, new and emerging infectious diseases (including from antimicrobial resistant pathogens), many of which are zoonoses, necessitating a one health approach  Scope: Sequence based data for pathogens will be generated, stored and analysed in combination with clinical, microbiological, epidemiological and other data needed for risk assessment (RA)  Expected Impact: Better containment and mitigation of epidemics by competent authorities on the basis of a shared information system and global standards for rapid pathogen identification.
