f. This award notice, INCLUDING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CITED BELOW.
(See NIH Home Page at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/awardconditions.htm for certain
references cited above.)
Research and Development (R&D): All awards issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
meet the definition of "Research and Development" at 45 CFR Part§ 75.2. As such, auditees
should identify NIH awards as part of the R&D cluster on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal
Awards (SEFA). The auditor should test NIH awards for compliance as instructed in Part V,
Clusters of Programs. NIH recognizes that some awards may have another classification for
purposes of indirect costs. The auditor is not required to report the disconnect (i.e., the award is
classified as R&D for Federal Audit Requirement purposes but non-research for indirect cost rate
purposes), unless the auditee is charging indirect costs at a rate other than the rate(s) specified in
the award document(s).
Carry over of an unobligated balance into the next budget period requires Grants Management
Officer prior approval.
This award is subject to the requirements of 2 CFR Part 25 for institutions to receive a Dun &
Bradstreet Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number and maintain an active registration in
the System for Award Management (SAM). Should a consortium/subaward be issued under this
award, a DUNS requirement must be included. See
http://qrants.nih.gov/qrants/policy/awardconditions.htm for the full NIH award term implementing
this requirement and other additional information.
This award has been assigned the Federal Award Identification Number (FAIN) U01Al151797.
Recipients must document the assigned FAIN on each consortium/subaward issued under this
award.
Based on the project period start date of this project, this award is likely subject to the
Transparency Act subaward and executive compensation reporting requirement of 2 CFR Part
170. There are conditions that may exclude this award; see
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/awardconditions.htm for additional award applicability
information.
In accordance with P.L. 110-161, compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy is now
mandatory. For more information, see NOT-OD-08-033 and the Public Access website:
http://publicaccess.nih.gov/.
In accordance with the regulatory requirements provided at 45 CFR 75.113 and Appendix XII to
45 CFR Part 75, recipients that have currently active Federal grants, cooperative agreements,
and procurement contracts with cumulative total value greater than $10,000,000 must report and
maintain information in the System for Award Management (SAM) about civil, criminal, and
administrative proceedings in connection with the award or performance of a Federal award that
reached final disposition within the most recent five-year period. The recipient must also make
semiannual disclosures regarding such proceedings. Proceedings information will be made
publicly available in the designated integrity and performance system (currently the Federal
Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS)). Full reporting requirements
and procedures are found in Appendix XII to 45 CFR Part 75. This term does not apply to NIH
fellowships.

o For Aim 1: Identify, characterize and rank spillover risk of high zoonotic potential viruses
from wildlife, the building of chimeric SARS-like bat coronaviruses will be based on the
SHC014 or the pangolin coronavirus molecular clones and the building of chimeric
MERS-CoV will be based on the HKU5 strain. Prior to further altering the mutant viruses
you must provide NIAID with a detailed description of the proposed alterations and
supporting evidence for the anticipated phenotypic characteristics of each virus.
o Alternative approaches to those referenced above, including building chimeras based on
SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, and MERS-CoV, may be subject to the DHHS P3CO
Framework and must be submitted to NIAID for review and approval prior to the work
commencing.
If any of the experiments proposed for Aim 1 result in a virus with a phenotype of enhanced
pathogenicity and/or transmissibility, enhanced growth by more than 10 fold when compared to
wild type strains, or if the mice display significant increases in weight loss, viral titer, or mortality
when compared to wild-type strains, the recipient must immediately stop the work and notify the
NIAID Program Officer, Grants Management Specialist, and appropriate institutional biosafety
committee. Policy changes regarding the classification of these experiments or components used
in these experiments may be subject to immediate halting of experimentation. No NIH funding
can be used to perform such experiments until these experiments have been approved by NIAID
with a revised NOA.
Dissemination of study data will be in accord with the Recipient's accepted genomic data sharing
plan as stated on page(s) 373 of the application. Failure to adhere to the sharing plan as mutually
agreed upon by the Recipient and the NIAID may result in Enforcement Actions as described in

Awardee of a project that at any time involves a restricted experiment with a select agent, is
responsible for notifying and receiving prior approval from the NIAID. Please be advised that
changes in the use of a Select Agent will be considered a change in scope and require NIH
awarding office prior approval. The approval is necessary for new select agent experiments as
well as changes in on-going experiments that would require change in the biosafety plan and/or
biosafety containment level. An approval to conduct a restricted experiment granted to an
individual cannot be assumed an approval to other individuals who conduct the same restricted
experiment as defined in the Select Agents Regulation 42 CFR Part 73, Section 13.b
(http://www.selectagents.gov/Regulations.html).
Highly Pathogenic Agent:
NIAID defines a Highly Pathogenic Agent as an infectious Agent or Toxin that may warrant a
biocontainment safety level of BSL3 or higher according to the current edition of the CDC/NIH
Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL)
(http://www.cdc.gov/OD/ohs/biosfty/bmbl5/bmbl5toc.htm). Research funded under this grant
must adhere to the BMBL, including using the BM BL-recommended biocontainment level at a
minimum. If your Institutional Biosafety Committee (or equivalent body) or designated
institutional biosafety official recommend a higher biocontainment level, the highest
recommended containment level must be used.
When submitting future Progress Reports indicate at the beginning of the report:
If no research with a Highly Pathogenic Agent or Select Agent has been performed or is
planned to be performed under this grant.
If your IBC or equivalent body or official has determined, for example, by conducting a
risk assessment, that the work being planned or performed under this grant may be
conducted at a biocontainment safety level that is lower than BSL3.
If the work involves Select Agents and/or Highly Pathogenic Agents, also address the
following points:
Any changes in the use of the Agent(s) or Toxin(s) including its restricted
experiments that have resulted in a change in the required biocontainment level,
and any resultant change in location, if applicable, as determined by your IBC or
equivalent body or official.
If work with a new or additional Agent(s)/Toxin(s) is proposed in the upcoming
project period, provide:
STAFF CONT ACTS
o A list of the new and/or additional Agent(s) that will be studied;
o A description of the work that will be done with the Agent( s ), and
whether or not the work is a restricted experiment;
o The title and location for each biocontainment resource/facility,
including the name of the organization that operates the facility, and the
biocontainment level at which the work will be conducted, with
documentation of approval by your IBC or equivalent body or official. It
is important to note if the work is being done in a new location.
The Grants Management Specialist is responsible for the negotiation, award and administration of
this project and for interpretation of Grants Administration policies and provisions. The Program
Official is responsible for the scientific, programmatic and technical aspects of this project. These
individuals work together in overall project administration. Prior approval requests (signed by an
Authorized Organizational Representative) should be submitted in writing to the Grants
Management Specialist. Requests may be made via e-mail.

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
Southeast Asia is one of the world's highest-risk EID hotspots, the origin of the SARS pandemic, Nipah virus,
and repeated outbreaks of influenza. This is driven by high diversity of wildlife and rapidly expanding
demography that brings human and wildlife populations closer. This proposal will launch the smerging
!nfectious Diseases - ~outh .5.ast Asia Research Collaboration Hub (EID-SEARCH), a collaboration among
leaders in emerging disease research in the USA, Thailand, Singapore and the 3 major Malaysian
administrative regions. These researchers have networks that span >50 clinics, laboratories and research
institutions across almost all SE Asian countries and will use the EID-SEARCH as an early warning system for
outbreaks involving exchange of information, reagents, samples and technology, and a collaborative powerhouse for fundamental and translational research. The EID-SEARCH will also act as a significant asset to
scale-up and deploy resources in the case of an outbreak in the region. This EIDRC will conduct research
to: 1) Identify, characterize and rank spillover risk of high zoonotic potential viruses from wildlife, by analyzing
previously-archived wildlife samples, conducting targeted wildlife surveillance, and using serology & PCR
assays to identify novel viruses. These will be characterized to assess risk of spillover to people, and a series
of in vitro (receptor binding, cell culture) and in vivo (humanized mouse and collaborative cross models) assays
used to assess their potential to infect people and cause disease; 2) Collect samples and questionnaire data
from human communities that live in EID hotspots and have high cultural and behavioral risk of animal
exposure (e.g. wildlife hunting, bat guano collection). These will be tested with serological assays to identify
evidence of novel virus spillover, and analyzed against metadata to identify key risk pathways for transmission;
3) Identify and characterize viral etiology of 'cryptic' outbreaks in clinical cohorts. We will conduct syndromic
surveillance at clinics serving the populations in Aim 2, enroll patients with undiagnosed illness and symptoms
consistent with emerging viral pathogens, and test samples with molecular and follow-up serological assays to
identify causal links between these syndromes and novel viruses.
This research will advance our understanding of the risk of novel viral emergence in a uniquely important
region. It will also strengthen in-country research capacity by linking local infectious disease scientists
with an international collaborative network that has proven capacity to conduct this work and produce
significant findings. The large body of high impact collaborative research from this EIDRC leadership team
provides proof-of-concept that EID-SEARCH has the background, collaborative network, experience, and
skillset to act as a unique early warning system for novel EIDs of any etiology threatening to emerge in
this hottest of the EID hotspots.

surveillance at clinics serving the populations in Aim 2, enroll patients with undiagnosed illness and symptoms
consistent with emerging viral pathogens, and test samples with molecular and follow-up serological assays to
identify causal links between these syndromes and novel viruses.
This research will advance our understanding of the risk of novel viral emergence in a uniquely important
region. It will also strengthen in-country research capacity by linking local infectious disease scientists
with an international collaborative network that has proven capacity to conduct this work and produce
significant findings. The large body of high impact collaborative research from this EIDRC leadership team
provides proof-of-concept that EID-SEARCH has the background, collaborative network, experience, and
skillset to act as a unique early warning system for novel EIDs of any etiology threatening to emerge in
this hottest of the EID hotspots.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
This proposed EID Research Center (EID-SEARCH) brings leaders in emerging disease research from the US,
Thailand, Singapore and the 3 major Malaysian administrative regions together to build an early warning
system to safeguard against pandemic disease threats. This team will identify novel viruses from Southeast
Asian wildlife, characterize their capacity to infect and cause illness in people, and use serological assays of
samples from people in rural communities with high wildlife contact to identify the background rate of exposure,
and risk factors that drive this. They will conduct in-depth surveillance of clinical cohorts at hospitals serving
these communities to examine if 'cryptic' outbreaks are caused by these novel agents, and to build significant
capacity to rapidly detect and respond should there be a major outbreak of a virus in the region.

National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL), Boston, USA (Ors. Keusch and Corley)
The National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL) is housed on the Boston University Medical
Campus within close proximity to the School of Medicine, School of Dental Medicine and School of Public
Health and their associated research facilities, and Boston Medical Center, the principal teaching hospital for
the medical school. The Medical Campus also houses major Core facilities and includes an extensive Animal
Science Center which includes animal facilities for BSL-2 and BSL-1 animal work. In addition to Basic
Sciences and Clinical Departments, the Medical Campus also includes the Center for Regenerative Medicine,
the Center for Network Systems Biology, and the Clinical and Translational Science Center. The Boston
University Medical Campus is a short shuttle bus ride from the Boston University Campus on the Charles
River. The BU campus includes the School of Engineering and its Biomedical Engineering Department and its
Biologic Design ("synthetic biology") group, and the Hariri Institute for Computing and Computational Science.
Major research programs in the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Biology are also of
importance to the goals of the NEIDL, as is the Bioinformatics Graduate Program which is managed from the
Charles River Campus. Boston University is a highly interactive and collaborative environment which is
supported by the University administration to ensure that artificial barriers to success are removed and do not
hamper innovation in research. Office spaces for faculty and staff are integrated throughout the NEIDL. Most
faculty have offices in administrative spaces adjacent to the BSL-2 laboratories. Administrative support is
provided and is supported by the administrative infrastructure of the University. All offices are accessible in an
environment secured via proximity card and iris scan access.

Information Technology Access
All laboratories are serviced by the Boston University IS& T group, with the exception of those services that are
uniquely required for work within the NEIDL and are managed by the IT Core staff dedicated to the NEIDL.
This includes building automation systems and select agent inventory control which are managed in a safe and
secure network environment. Computational resources for individual faculty and staff are augmented by the BU
Shared Computing Cluster which is maintained by BU and its consortium in Holyoke, MA, site of the LEED
Platinum certified MA Green High Performance Computing Center (MGHPCC). Two pairs of 10 Gigabit
Ethernet network connections between the MGHPCC and the BU campus connect the two locations. The
system currently includes over 2600 shared processors, over 5100 buy-in processors, a combined 244 GPUs,
and petabytes of redundantly backed up storage.
Facility security: The Public Safety Core supports the NEIDL's mission by providing a safe and secure
environment with particular attention to risks, threats and vulnerabilities. Public Safety personnel are well
trained in the intricacies of a secure site, criminal applications and a significant amount of training pertaining to
safety, facilities, emergency preparedness and response, biosafety incidents, animal rights activism and
coordinated notification and response of external local, state and federal responders. The Public Safety Core
monitors and audits all areas of access, and manages personnel suitability on a continual basis to ensure
regulations are adhered to, as well as 24/7 management of the environment with police-academy-trained
officers. Core managerial staff have developed a comprehensive set of Public Safety Standard Operating
Procedures, consistent with BU MC-wide policies and procedures, which meet and/or exceed all applicable
federal, state, and local regulations (NIH, BMBL, OSHA, CDC, NRG, MWRA, DEP, BFD, etc). In addition, they
manage the process of background checks (CORI) and drug screening for staff in order to ensure that
recruitments are consistent with security requirements.
Interfacing with other support offices at Boston University: The operational core services offered in the NEIDL
benefit from the additional infrastructure on the Boston University Campus, which not only contribute significant
expertise but also provide services that we do not need to duplicate. For example, the IT services in the NEIDL
are supported by a large BU Information Services and Technology Team that insures expert IT services are
provided, and we have in house IT experts who are also trained to work within the containment facilities.
Similarly, our Environmental Health & Safety core is supported by a larger EH&S group within the University,
and Emergency Response is supported by a University wide ER group which has long experience working with
local, state, and national responders. The Community Relations Services are integrated with BU campus-wide
services which include the Office of Government and Community Affairs, while our Occupational Medicine
Program is supplemented by a larger Research Occupational Health Program at the University.

A. Personal Statement
DEGREE COMPLETION DATE FIELD OF STUDY
B.S. (hons) 07/1986 Zoology
Ph.D. 03/1993 Infectious Diseases
I have 20+ year's NIH-funded research experience on emerging viral zoonoses, and the scientific skills to
manage this proposed work that involves a large international collaboration on human and wildlife surveillance,
and translational research. I am President and Chief Scientist of EcoHealth Alliance, a US-based 501 (c) 3
institution that conducts research on emerging zoonoses. My research background is focused on
understanding the process of zoonotic disease emergence, particularly viral zoonoses. This includes
identifying the bat origin of SARS-CoV and SADS-CoV, analyzing the causes of West Nile, Nipah and Hendra
virus emergence and spread, publishing the first unbiased analysis of global emerging disease hotspots, and
analyzing patterns of viral spillover into human populations in EID hotspots. I have been the Pl on 5
multidisciplinary R01 s, all with international collaborating organizations, including most on the current proposal.
All of these used modeling, epidemiology, laboratory and field science to test hypotheses on the emergence of
wildlife-origin viral zoonoses, including SARS-CoV, Nipah and Hendra virus, Avian influenza and bat-origin
viruses. I have also led large contracts from USAID (institutional lead on $75 million PREDICT-1 and $138
million PREDICT-2; Chief-of-Party on $3 million IDEEAL), successfully managing teams of virologists, field
biologists, mathematical modelers, veterinarians, epidemiologists, laboratorians and anthropologists.

analyzing patterns of viral spillover into human populations in EID hotspots. I have been the Pl on 5
multidisciplinary R01 s, all with international collaborating organizations, including most on the current proposal.
All of these used modeling, epidemiology, laboratory and field science to test hypotheses on the emergence of
wildlife-origin viral zoonoses, including SARS-CoV, Nipah and Hendra virus, Avian influenza and bat-origin
viruses. I have also led large contracts from USAID (institutional lead on $75 million PREDICT-1 and $138
million PREDICT-2; Chief-of-Party on $3 million IDEEAL), successfully managing teams of virologists, field
biologists, mathematical modelers, veterinarians, epidemiologists, laboratorians and anthropologists.

C. Contribution to Science
1. Research on the bat origins of emerging viruses. Numerous high impact emerging viruses appear to
have bat reservoirs (e.g. SARS-CoV, EBOV, NiV, HeV, MERS-CoV, SADS-CoV). As Pl on five R01s on
bat-origin viruses, my work has helped demonstrate the bat origin of SARS- and SADS-CoV, analyze the
drivers of bat viral emergence and risk factors for spillover. Collaborating with virologists in China, we have
isolated and characterized SARSr-CoVs from bats that use the same human host cell receptor (ACE-2) as
SARS-CoV. This work provides critical reagents and resources that have helped advance understanding of
virus-host binding and may contribute to vaccine development. My other work identified factors leading to
the emergence of NiV from Pteropus bats in Malaysia and Bangladesh; a likely bat origin for MERS-CoV;
and proof that bats harbor a significantly higher proportion of zoonoses than all other mammalian groups.

2. Analyzing the process of disease emergence. Emerging infectious diseases are a significant threat to
global health. However, their emergence is sporadic, and involves a complex process that is hard to predict.
In the early 2000s I started to use analytical approaches to identify predictable patterns in the process of
disease emergence. By collating a database of all known prior EID events, identifying their point origins, and
correcting for reporting biases, I published the first ever predictive 'hotspots' maps of where future disease
emergence is most likely. I have continued this line of research, publishing spatial analyses of the drivers of
disease spread, and outlining strategies to predict pandemic emergence.

zoonoses can help explain patterns of risk to people. This includes my role as Pl on 4 R01 s, as institutional
lead for USAID-EPT-PREDICT, and Chief of Party for USAID-IDEEAL. This work includes estimations of
the diversity of yet-to-be discovered viruses which forms the rationale for the Global Virome Project.

The goal of our proposal is to establish an Emerging Infectious Disease Research Center in Southeast Asia to
better understand the risk of zoonotic viral emergence, and to strengthen regional capacity to identify,
characterize, and rapidly respond to novel infectious diseases threats. I have 17 years of experience managing
zoonotic disease surveillance projects, primarily in Southeast Asia, and leading cutting-edge research on
pathogen discovery, disease ecology, and modeling the risk of viral spillover that are strongly complementary
to our project's aims. As a PhD student and then NIH-Fogarty Global Health Post-Doc Fellow, I investigated
the ecology of Nipah virus in Malaysia and Bangladesh, respectively, using phylogeographic approaches to
integrate wildlife host and virus data. Over the last 1 O years, I have served as the global lead for USAI DPREDICT activities in Thailand and Indonesia managing all human and animal surveillance, and coordinated
training and other project activities in Malaysia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and India. I have managed field-based
disease investigations around the world, leading to the following significant discoveries: the wildlife origin of
Ebola Reston in the Philippines, first evidence of Ebola Zaire infection in Asian wildlife, MERS-CoV in Saudi
Arabian bats, and the first isolation of Nipah virus from the large flying fox in Malaysia. I currently serve as the
Modeling & Analytics coordinator under the USAID PREDICT-2 project, leading a team analyzing combined
human, animal, and laboratory surveillance data to predict and prevent zoonoses. As part of this effort, I
developed a new approach that combines phylogenetic, ecological, and life-history traits to predict viral
diversity, host/reservoir range, and spillover potential, leading to a recent first author paper in Nature.

C. Contribution to Science
1. Characterizing viral diversity in people and wildlife. A large body of my research has focused on the
discovery and characterization of viruses in wildlife populations to better anticipate viral emergence. This
includes over 10 studies in South and Southeast Asia, generating sequence data for 100s of novel viral
strains. These include: molecular evidence for MERS-related coronaviruses circulating in bats at guano
mining sites in Thailand; Ebola Reston sequences from multiple bat species in the Philippines captured
near pig fanns where outbreaks first occurred; and novel virus discovery using metagenomic approaches in
Saudi Arabian bats collected at the site of the first human MERS-CoV case. Lastly, follow-up human viral
surveillance in guano miner populations from Thailand yielded a full-genome sequence of HKU-1
coronavirus. Most of these research studies were conducted and published jointly with in-country
colleagues on the current proposal.

2. Analyses to better target zoonotic disease surveillance. For the last 5 years, I have led the
development of new strategies to better target the geographic regions, transmission pathways, host
species, and sample types to make zoonotic surveillance more effective. (b)(4)
Previous work includes the first use of species
accumulation curves to estimate viral diversity from longitudinal surveillance data in wildlife (Bangladesh
bats); two meta-analyses using pathogen-specific transmission and host range data from all known
zoonotic EIDs to refine disease surveillance targets; and analysis of data from 100 viral discovery studies
in bats to optimize surveillance.

3. Modeling global disease emergence and spillover risk. I have used my applied ecology background to
develop new models that help explain zoonotic spillover and disease circulation. This includes studies of
the environmental drivers of bat virus spillover to humans, cross-species transmission among bat species,
spatial analysis of emerging zoonotic disease hotspots, and novel phyla-factorization approaches to
estimating viral host range. These models explicitly use data from PCR- and serology-based field studies,
combined with an understanding of wildlife biology, ecology, and host phylogenetics and evolution, to
assess the environmental and demographic drivers of disease transmission -- bridging the gap between
field investigations and transmission risk.

4. Elucidating host-vector-pathogen interactions using evolutionary biology. I started using evolutionary
and phylogenetic tools to improve the understanding of host and vector disease biology during my PhD
dissertation. I continued this through my NIH post-doctoral fellowship research on Nipah virus dynamics
using host phylogeographic analyses of Pteropus spp. fruit bats and their associated bat fly vectors. Other
examples include DNA barcoding analysis of mosquito bloodmeals to understand bunyavirus vertebrate
host range; co-phylogenetic mapping of bacterial pathogens in bats and rodents to identify host-switching
events; and analyzing patterns of coronavirus diversification in bat communities in Eastern Thailand.

We use systems genetic, biochemical, molecular and immunologic approaches to study the molecular
mechanisms regulating viral evolution. virus immunity, virus-host interactions. virus pathogenesis and vaccine
mediated protective immunity primarily using coronaviruses (SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV), noroviruses (Gll.4 and
related strains) and flaviviruses (Dengue, Zikv) as models. Additional studies have focused on the
pathogenesis of influenza and Ebola viruses. My major contributions include publications describing: a)
emerging coronavirus, Dengue 1-4 and Zikv reverse genetic platforms, b) the identification of human host
susceptibility alleles that regulate norovirus infection and pathogenesis, c) the identification of host
susceptibility alleles that regulate SARS-CoV and Ebola virus pathogenesis and immunity using the
Collaborative Cross Genetic Reference Population, d) the development of platform strategies and animal
models to identify and culture emerging, pre-epidemic human viruses from outbreak samples or in silica
sequences, e) the functional mapping of human monoclonal antibodies and their epitopes against all of the
viruses described above, f) pioneering approaches in structure guided immunogen design to develop bivalent
vaccine and immune diagnostic viruses and VLPs to all three virus families noted above. e) the mapping and
characterization of the primary targets of polyclonal neutralizing antibodies following infection and vaccination,
g) the design and testing of broadly cross protective coronavirus, norovirus and dengue virus vaccines, h) the
identification novel antivirals targeting the emerging human, contemporary and prepandemic threat viruses and
i) structure-function studies of viral genes involved in replication, pathogenesis, innate immune evasion and
cross species transmission. We also helped to demonstrate the existence of the first proof-reading enzyme in
an RNA virus. I have extensively collaborated with Dr. Oaszak and his team in the past including joint
publications and grants. I have considerable experience managing large cooperative centers and program
project grants and also study human DENV vaccine outcomes and human norovirus challenge studies.

2. Viral Immunity. New diagnostic metrics are needed to identify precise correlates of protective immunity at
the molecular level. Our group has pioneered the use of structure-guided immunogen design, coupled with
reverse genetic strategies, to transfer complex conformational immunogen epitopes between viruses (or
viral proteins), using noroviruses and dengue/zikv virus as model platforms.

3. Virus Molecular Genetics/Immunity. My group has pioneered strategies for performing reverse genetic
analyses in coronaviruses and flaviviruses, including recently emerged strains like SARS-CoV, MERSCoV, PEDV, conventional human and model coronaviruses like MHV and HCoV NL63, and several bat
coronaviruses. We have also built full length infectious cDNA clones for DENV1 -4 serotypes, several Zikv
strains, as well as panels of isogenic DENV serotypes encoding genotype distinct E glycoproteins. We
demonstrated that coronaviruses and influenza viruses regulate host expression, by epigenetics.

A. Personal Statement
My research group focuses on the investigation of emerging infectious diseases, especially those caused by
zoonotic agents or with unknown etiology. Trained as a biochemist and molecular biologist, I have been
working in the field of virology and infectious diseases for more than 25 years and played a key role in
identification of animal links with several high-profile zoonotic agents, including Hendra virus in Australia, Nipah
virus in Malaysia and SARS virus in China. In my current role as director of the Program in Emerging
Infectious Diseases at Duke-NUS Medical School, I have initiated several major projects to develop cutting
edge technological platforms for investigation of human infections of unknown etiology using both molecular
and serological approaches. We have also started a new area of research into the interplay of immunity,
inflammation, apoptosis, DNA damage repair and tumor suppression of bats as part of an ambitious goal to
learn from bats on their ability to live long and co-exist with viruses largely free of clinical diseases. Over the
years, I have established an extensive collaborative network with scientists all around the world, covering
research and surveillance work into infections of human, animal and wildlife in a truly OneHealth approach. I
have been invited by international organizations including WHO, FAO, OIE and CEPI for investigation of major
disease outbreaks and for playing a consultation role in several committees in the area of zoonotic infections.
My research experience and track record fit extremely well with the proposed project.

2. Establishment of bats as a new mammalian model system to study virus-host interaction and
evolutionary biology. Working with collaborators around the world, my lab has amassed an
unprecedented collection of serological, tissue and other samples from bat surveillance programs. I have
used these to develop and disseminate primary and immortalized bat cell lines, and a host of reagents
which my team and collaborators are using to test hypotheses about why bats are able to host so many
distinct viruses. Current projects include bat genomics and proteomics; examining the bat MHC, using
gene knockout technology to identify links between flight, viral resistance, and longevity.

2. Establishment of bats as a new mammalian model system to study virus-host interaction and
evolutionary biology. Working with collaborators around the world, my lab has amassed an
unprecedented collection of serological, tissue and other samples from bat surveillance programs. I have
used these to develop and disseminate primary and immortalized bat cell lines, and a host of reagents
which my team and collaborators are using to test hypotheses about why bats are able to host so many
distinct viruses. Current projects include bat genomics and proteomics; examining the bat MHC, using
gene knockout technology to identify links between flight, viral resistance, and longevity.

3. Application of both molecular and serological platforms to pathogen discovery. My work at CSIRO
AAHL, and now at Duke-NUS has focused on the development and use of PCR and serological assays to
identify novel pathogens in wildlife, livestock and people, often under outbreak conditions. This includes the
discovery of bats as a reservoir for SARS-CoV, using novel serological assays and PCR techniques I
developed.

A. Personal Statement
As a Research Assistant Professor in the Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) program at Duke-NUS Medical
School, my research aims to identify host factors important for paramyxovirus and coronavirus replication. I
serve as Scientific Director of the Duke-NUS ABSL3 laboratory, which provides infrastructure, expertise and
support for research with pathogens requiring high containment. I have a background in virology, with specific
training and expertise in high throughput screening. In my current role, my vision for the Duke-NUS ABSL3 is
to create a world class containment research lab with an impeccable safety record. A facility that not only
Duke-NUS, but Singapore can be proud of, and that enhances the biomedical research activities in Singapore
by providing the opportunity for in vitro and in vivo experimentation with BSL3 pathogens. I was involved in the
design and accreditation process of commissioning the Duke-NUS ABSL3, so I am intimately familiar with
capacities of the facility and the regulatory framework it is embedded in. In addition to my laboratory expertise,
I have extensive experience in designing animal experiments with ferrets, non-human primates and bats. As I
have trained and worked at BSL3 facilities in Singapore (Duke-NUS Medical School) and the USA (Duke
University), and the BSL4 facility in China (Wuhan Institute of Virology), I believe that I have the necessary
broad expertise and the international network to continue my research. The current application not only builds
logically on my prior work and expertise in this field but is aligned with my future research program.

I have 20+ years in research and 15+ years of experience in emerging viral zoonoses. I have managed many
internationally funded research projects, that involves working with and managing international and local
interdisciplinary teams. Majority of my research projects are field surveillance in wild mammals, human
behavioral risk surveys, and clinical sampling. I conduct workshops on development of novel diagnostic
approaches, appropriate sample collection and handling for different pathogens, and viral characterization in
vitro and in vivo. I am the Deputy Chief of Thai Red Cross Emerging Infectious Diseases Health Science
Centre which conducts research on emerging zoonoses. My research background is focused on understanding
the process of zoonotic disease emergence, particularly viral zoonoses. This includes identifying the bat origin
of Nipah virus and MERS-CoV, and pathogenesis and diagnoses of Rabies. My study on the emergence of
novel betacoronaviruses found in Thai bats, as well as Nipah virus have been published. Our centre was the
first laboratory to correctly diagnose the first human MERS case in Thailand, which led to swift execution of
containment measures preventing a MERS outbreak in Thailand. We are now the government's reference
laboratory for emerging infectious diseases. I have been the Pl on 5 multidisciplinary research projects that use
epidemiology, laboratory, field science and bioinformatics to diagnose and monitor the emergence of wildlifeorigin viral zoonoses, including SARS-CoV, Nipah and Hendra virus, Avian influenza and novel viruses from
bats. I am also the Thailand country manager for large contracts from USAID involving successful
management of teams of virologists, field biologists, veterinarians, epidemiologists, hospitals and
laboratorians.

1. Surveillance for emerging viruses in Southeast Asia
As project coordinator in Malaysia for Eco Health Alliance, and now Director of Conservation Medicine Ltd, I
have designed and led field programs that underpin advances in our understanding of wildlife-origin zoonoses
(e.g. Macaques and Herpes B), risk factors for emergence (e.g. Nipah virus in fruit bats), the distribution of
viruses (e.g. Ebola virus in the Philippines). Through the PREDICT project I currently lead a team that has
found 71 novel viruses and 26 known viruses in wildlife reservoirs, livestock and humans. I have helped
develop laboratory and personnel capacity for disease surveillance at the Department of Wildlife and National
Parks (DWNP), Department of Veterinary Services and Ministry of Health in Malaysia. I have trained over 350
individuals from government partners, local universities and NGOs in surveillance and diagnostics techniques
including sharing SOPs and protocols. In collaboration with Sabah Wildlife Department I established the
Wildlife Health, Genetic and Forensic Laboratory that has all the equipment necessary to store samples, run
extractions, PCR and analysis on biological samples for disease surveillance. The lab is used to screen
samples for the PREDICT and to generate PCR and serological data for EcoHealth Alliance. I also establish
the new molecular zoonosis laboratories at the DWNP's National Wildlife Forensic Laboratory. The lab is used
to screen samples for the PREDICT & DTRA projects and to generate PCR and serological data for EcoHealth
Alliance.

My laboratory has been collaborating with EcoHealth Alliance and other groups for over 8 years with a major
focus on serological assays for the detection of henipaviruses and filoviruses in wildlife, livestock, and human
populations. I have been an active researcher in enveloped virus-host cell interactions for the past 30 years.
Together with my collaborators, I have made significant contributions to the field. I developed the first
oligomeric HIV-1 gp140 glycoprotein subunit vaccine, the vaccinia virus-based reporter gene assay for
measuring viral glycoprotein-mediated membrane fusion, defined the fusion tropism of HIV-1 followed by the
discovery of the HIV-1 coreceptors (CXCR4 and CCR5). In 1999, I established a collaborative international
group of experts in Hendra and Nipah virus research, in areas from structural biochemistry, animal models and
in vivo pathogenesis, to the development and testing of vaccines and therapeutics. My work includes the
discovery of the Hendra and Nipah virus entry receptors (ephrin-B2/B3), and the development of the feline,
ferret and African green monkey models of Hendra and Nipah virus pathogenesis with my collaborators. My
lab's henipavirus glycoprotein work, with collaborators, have made the structural solutions and characterization
of the F and the G-ephrin receptor glycoprotein interactions, and the discovery and development of antiviral
human monoclonal antibodies to ABL V and Hendra and Nipah viruses; one (m102.4) having a Phase I clinical
trial completed in 2016, and has been used by emergency protocol in 13 people in Australia and one in the US
because of significant risk of infection. I developed the Hendra/Nipah subunit vaccine based on soluble Hendra
G glycoprotein (HeV-sG); called Equivac® HeV (Zoetis, Inc.) the first commercialized vaccine to a BSL-4
agent, and being developed as a human use Nipha/Hendra vaccine supported by CEPI. Relevant to the
present proposal, we have developed the first reverse genetics system for the henipavirus, Cedar virus, which
will serve as a platform to assay henipavirus neutralization; and we have developed a panel 17+ different
soluble envelope glycoproteins from all the known filoviruses and henipaviruses for serological surveillance
studies, and have the tools to conduct the studies, and carry out capacity building and training programs.

other serine proteases. The bacterium-bound plasmin remained enzymatically active including its ability to
hydrolyze a fibrin clot. Bound plasmin could not be inhibited by its physiological regulator, alpha 2-plasmin
inhibitor. Since these organisms produced streptokinase, a protein that complexes with plasminogen
producing an active enzyme that can convert plasminogen to plasmin, they could accelerate the
destruction of the extracellular matrix environment: findings that formed a molecular-pathogenic model for
the "flesh-eating streptococci".

2. My independent postdoctoral fellowship focused on the early stages of HIV-1 envelope
glycoprotein mediated membrane fusion as a surrogate model of HIV-1 entry. I established a vaccinia
virus-based reporter gene assay for measuring viral (HIV-1) glycoprotein-mediated membrane fusion and
generated the first panel of T-cell tropic and Macrophage-tropic HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env)
encoding recombinant vaccinia virus vectors and I used these tools to be the first to hypothesize that the
cellular tropism of HIV-1 could be explained by specific membrane fusion factors required for the different
classes of HIV-1 Envs. I also developed the first soluble and secreted full-length oligomeric HIV-1 gp140
glycoprotein and explored the importance of its native oligomeric structure in terms of its presentation of
conformational and virus-neutralizing epitopes through the development and characterization of more than
100 murine monoclonal antibodies.

investigations characterizing the roles of the HIV-1 coreceptors in the virus entry process. These
studies revealed the interplay between the HIV-1 entry receptors, mapped important domains of the
coreceptors involved in HIV-1 Env interaction, and also revealed possible avenues of how an HIV-1 Env
might engage and differently utilize the CXCR4 and CCR5 coreceptors for infection. In addition, I also
engaged in collaborative follow-up studies exploring the utility of soluble oligomeric HIV-1 envelope
glycoproteins as subunit vaccine immunogens (gp140) which I initiated at NIH while a postdoctoral fellow,
with the unusual R2 HIV-1 Env isolate and led to the first NIAID program project grant funded at USU.

5. My most recent research has been on emerging viruses that impact human and domestic livestock
populations; including Australian bat lyssavirus (rabies-like virus), filoviruses (Ebola and Marburg)
and the henipaviruses (Hendra and Nipah). My lab was the first to publish on Hendra virus outside of
Australia. I obtained the first NIAID funded project providing monetary support on select agent research to
an overseas laboratory (2003). Henipavirus research has been the major focus of my lab for the past 20
years, covering areas from structural biochemistry, in vivo pathogenesis and animal model development to
the development and testing of vaccines and therapeutics. My lab developed the first peptide henipavirus
fusion inhibitors, subunit vaccine and neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies (mAb ), and supported the
development of the feline and ferret models of Hendra and Nipah infection and pathogenesis in Australia
and the development of the first nonhuman primate model (USAMRIID). We and our collaborators tested
the in vivo efficacy of the Hendra/Nipah vaccine (HeV-sG) and an anti-HeV/NiV G-specific neutralizing
human mAb. One human mAb (m102.4) has been used by compassionate emergency protocol in 13
people in Australia and one individual in the United States; a Phase I clinical trial was completed in May,
2016. The henipavirus subunit vaccine, HeV-sG, was launched; called Equivac® HeV (Zoetis, Inc.) and is
the first commercialized and deployed vaccine to a BSL-4 agent. Additional findings include the discovery
of the henipavirus entry receptors (ephrin-B2/B3) and produced soluble versions of the G and F proteins
facilitating their structural solutions.

Bats are increasingly identified as animal reservoirs of medically-relevant emerging RNA viruses (e.g. Nipah
virus, Ebola virus and SARS-coronavirus). However, the environmental, behavioral and host dynamics that
contribute to spill over into human populations remains largely unknown; this is especially true for ebolaviruses.
In the past year, two novel filoviruses with unknown pathogenicity have been discovered: Bombali virus and
Mengla virus. We anticipate that a diversity of related-filoviruses exists undetected in bat reservoir hosts, and
identifying these unknown viruses and understanding known filovirus-host interactions will improve our
knowledge of bat species that are hosts for ebolaviruses. Collectively, these results will be used to understand
transmission dynamics in wildlife hosts and generate risk-models for Ebola virus disease outbreaks. I have had
a collaborative research relationship with the EcoHealth Alliance (EHA) for 5+ years, and this Emerging
Infectious Diseases Research Centers Coordination Center (EIDRC CC) for the Emerging Infectious Diseases
Research Centers (EIDRC) proposal will allow for an important extension of our collaboration and mutual
research interests on emerging viruses, infectious disease surveillance and building threat reduction networks.
Additionally, I have expertise in virology, biosurveillance and capacity training in international settings to
successfully contribute to the aims of this proposal. In collaboration with EHA, we have developed a multiplex
serologically immunoassay that can detect antibodies specific to or cross-reactive with all presently described
filoviruses. This immunoassay tool will be key for detecting the serological footprint of known and unknown
filoviruses in bat hosts. This assay is presently being used for biosurveillance by collaborators in Southeast
Asia and South Asia. Assay validation is being undertaken between our laboratory (USU) and collaborators at
the Dr. Vincent Munster's group at the NIH Rocky Mountain Laboratory and United States Army Medical
Institute of Infectious Diseases.

C. Contributions to Science
1. Virus-host interactions. My Ph.D. thesis research was focused on virus-host interactions: understanding
bats as hosts of zoonotic viruses and Australian bat lyssavirus (ABLV) cellular entry. This work entailed
exploring the antiviral mechanisms that enable cellular persistence of viruses in bats, particularly,
authophagy. Findings revealed that the autophagy pathway is induced upon infection with Australian bat
lyssavirus (ABLV), a Rabies-virus related virus carried by Australian Pteropus bats. The combined
pharmacological and genetic studies of the autophagy pathway in the context of this virus-host interaction
indicated that autophagy functions as an antiviral defense. The study also demonstrated that bat-derived
cell lines have elevated levels of basal autophagy, which might help to explain the cellular mechanism that
contribute to the ability of bats to act as host to these viruses. An additional finding from these studies was
that activation of autophagy may have therapeutic benefits during neurotropic virus infection.

C. Contributions to Science
1. I rediscovered Shiga toxin during my fellowship, while participating in a training program at the
Institute of Nutrition for Central America and Panama in 1969. A significant part of my research career
has focused on Shiga toxin and its role in pathogenesis. The major recognized virulence factor of Shigella
was its ability to invade gut epithelial cells; the previously described Shiga 'neurotoxin' was long forgotten
until I showed that a protein produced by Shigella dysenteriae type 1 (Sd) caused inflammatory mucosal
damage of the bowel and bloody inflammatory exudates similar to dysentery in a rabbit model. I later
proved the two toxin activities were due to the same protein. My work resulted in purification of Shiga toxin
(Stx), sequenced the binding subunit, identified its mammalian cell receptor, described its translocation to
the cell cytoplasm via receptor mediated endocytosis, and identified its effects on vascular endothelium.
This work paved the way to understand the pathogenesis of E. coli 0157 and other serotypes associated
with hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS). My lab developed monoclonal antibodies
essential for a rapid commercial diagnostic test for all Stx producing bacteria. I was principal investigator in
all of these studies.

2. In the 1980's I began work on the molecular pathogenesis of giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis. We
first developed a method to grow Giardia trophozoites in bulk using roller bottle culture, and used these
parasites to Identify a trypsin-activated mannose-6-P lectin mediating binding to mammalian cell surfaces.
These properties were consistent with activation in upper small bowel precisely where Giardia colonizes.
We also discovered a Cryptosporidium parvum lectin which mediated binding to mammalian cells, and
showed it is a member of a family of mucin-like glycoproteins containing a-N-acetylgalactosamine.
Together these pioneering studies documented the role and relevance of carbohydrate binding ligands in
the pathogenesis of intestinal protozoa I infections. I was primary or co-investigator in all of these studies.

3. I have made multiple contributions to the understanding of nutrition-infection interactions in
laboratory and field research. I developed a rat model of protein energy malnutrition and demonstrated
macrophage functional abnormalities, including chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and intracellular bactericidal
activity. Together with colleagues in Guatemala we documented multiple host defense defects in
malnourished children including impaired neutrophil function, decreased serum opsonic activity,
complement deficiency, and T-cell deficits, and their reversal with nutritional interventions. Subsequent
studies in Zaire (now DRC) in AIDS patients on the pathogenesis of wasting syndrome revealed markedly
elevated pro-inflammatory cytokine levels that could drive metabolic shifts underlying cachexia. HIVinfected but clinically stable non-wasted subjects also had high pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, however
this was countered by elevated levels of the antagonist cytokines IL-1 RA and TN Fa-soluble receptor p55 at
a molar ratio known to block inflammatory effects of IL-1 ~ and TN Fa in vitro. This was the first biologically
plausible mechanism to explain the preservation of weight and body composition in long term clinical nonprogressors.

My role in the current application is as Contact Co-Principal Investigator. My responsibilities will include the
overall administration of the Center, including monitoring of scientific progress and ensuring effective
communication between EIDRC components, ensuring that budgeted funds are appropriately used, and to
manage any changes that occur as the result of interactions with the EIDRC CC and with NIAID staff. I have
over 4 decades of research and management experience to bring to the administration of complex
applications, including the EIDRC. I have extensive experience in research in immunology and in the
interactions between immune cells and viruses in experimental systems. I came to Boston University in 1994
as Chair of Microbiology, and built a research-intensive department focusing on RNA viral biology and
pathogenesis. Building in these areas have continued as Director of the NEIDL. My experience in recruiting
and team building will help foster a sense of shared commitment throughout the organization. I have
experience in building multidisciplinary teams of faculty for innovative projects, and also foster a sense of
shared commitment in team building. Because of my experience in working with faculty in diverse research
fields, I was appointed Associate Provost for Research for the Boston University Medical Campus, a position in
which I gained experience in working in complex organizations and dealing with diverse constituencies to
achieve common goals. Since becoming director of the NEIDL, I have continued to work toward building the
NEIDL from an institute that not only carries out emerging infectious diseases research at all biosafety levels,
but also engages internationally for the global public health.

My role in the current application is as Contact Co-Principal Investigator. My responsibilities will include the
overall administration of the Center, including monitoring of scientific progress and ensuring effective
communication between EIDRC components, ensuring that budgeted funds are appropriately used, and to
manage any changes that occur as the result of interactions with the EIDRC CC and with NIAID staff. I have
over 4 decades of research and management experience to bring to the administration of complex
applications, including the EIDRC. I have extensive experience in research in immunology and in the
interactions between immune cells and viruses in experimental systems. I came to Boston University in 1994
as Chair of Microbiology, and built a research-intensive department focusing on RNA viral biology and
pathogenesis. Building in these areas have continued as Director of the NEIDL. My experience in recruiting
and team building will help foster a sense of shared commitment throughout the organization. I have
experience in building multidisciplinary teams of faculty for innovative projects, and also foster a sense of
shared commitment in team building. Because of my experience in working with faculty in diverse research
fields, I was appointed Associate Provost for Research for the Boston University Medical Campus, a position in
which I gained experience in working in complex organizations and dealing with diverse constituencies to
achieve common goals. Since becoming director of the NEIDL, I have continued to work toward building the
NEIDL from an institute that not only carries out emerging infectious diseases research at all biosafety levels,
but also engages internationally for the global public health.

C. Contributions to Science
1. Innate role of B lymphocytes in antigen capture and transport. A body of work had shown that
secreted lgM antibodies had unique functions in concentrating pathogens and antigen into secondary
lymphoid organs, and prevented dissemination into vital organs. We sought to understand how lgM was
responsible for these activities, and to understand the consequences for the immune system. We
demonstrated that lgM immune complexes became concentrated onto marginal zone B cells, which then
transported these complexes to follicular dendritic cells for deposition. This suggested an unappreciated
innate role for this subset of B lymphocytes in the early steps of initiation of primary immune responses. A
role for orchestrated transport of antigen and immune complexes in secondary lymphoid organs is now
widely accepted as early events in immune responses.

2. The function of alternative forms of lgM antibodies in immune responses. Data from our laboratory
and others had indicated that lgM antibodies were not always secreted as pentameric molecules with J
chain, but little evidence existed to indicate if these antibodies shared functions with pentameric lgM, or if
they had unique functions. We demonstrated that two alternative forms of lgM, lgM hexamers and lgM
monomers, had discrete activities. Hexamers active complement far more efficiently than pentamers and
could be deleterious in certain autoimmune diseases, while monomers did not fix complement, lacked the
ability to function in antigen trapping, and could also accelerate disease manifestations in autoimmune
prone mice. These data supported the important role for strict quality control standards in the assembly and
secretion of lgM antibodies for maintenance of proper homeostasis in the immune system.

3. Quality control in modulating the assembly and secretion of lgM. Prior to these studies there was
controversy in the field as to how J chain was added to assembling lgM, and whether the addition of J chain
was responsible for catalyzing assembly of lgM into polymers. Where assembly occurred was also
controversial. We demonstrated, however, that lgM assembly is regulated in the endoplasmic reticulum by a
process involving thiol regulation. Further, J chain plays no role in mediated lgM assembly, and its addition
is a terminally late step in the production of polymeric lgM. To complete these studies, we made use of
various biochemical assays including pulse chase experiments. We also cloned and expressed J chain to
demonstrate its role in modulating polymer assembly, and this work remains the definitive description of lgM
assembly.

4. Defining mouse mammary tumor virus as an endogenous superantigen, and demonstrating the role
of B lymphocytes in the MMTV life cycle. Prior to these studies there was evidence for the existence of
that endogenous superantigens which played important roles in shaping the T cell repertoire in mice, but
the identity and nature of these superantigens were unknown. During a differential subtraction cloning
process, we identified a mouse mammary tumor virus, Mtv-9, as a differentially expressed gene during
activation of B cells, and later linked this to superantigens and suggested a role for B cells in the MMTV life
cycle.

A. Personal Statement
The identification of highly pathogenic human coronaviruses (SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV) underscored the
importance of understanding how viruses emerge from zoonotic reservoirs and how these emergent viruses
replicate and cause pathogenesis in the new host. My research has focused on several key aspects of these
questions by working to understand the cellular tropism of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV in primary human lung
cells, how host genetic pathways and gene networks affect virus replication and pathogenesis and how
manipulating the coronavirus genome changes the host innate immune response to virus infection. I have
more than 15 years' experience working with highly pathogenic human coronaviruses primarily as part of large
multi-institutional projects that require constant lines of communication and data sharing to be successful. I
have worked closely with Dr. Barie to lead and manage at least 4 large multi-institutional projects/awards and
am familiar with all of the day to day and long term requirements for a successful collaboration. This project
will extend an existing collaboration with Dr. Daszak and team at EcoHealth and world-wide and the required
lines of communication have already been established to make this application a success.
Relevant publications: My most relevant work to date focuses on using primary human lung cells as culture
models for human coronavirus strains, which can be used to characterize the virus strains we propose to study
in the current proposal.

1. In vitro models for emerging human respiratory viruses. Finding suitable in vitro models for studying
newly identified or emerged human respiratory viruses can be a challenge. Primary cells isolated from the
human conducting airway can be cultured at an air liquid interface and following maturation recapitulate the
morphology of the airway epithelium. These cultures provide a unique in vitro model and for one human
coronavirus, HKU 1, provide the only in vitro model for studying this virus.

C. Contributions to Science
1. In vitro models for emerging human respiratory viruses. Finding suitable in vitro models for studying
newly identified or emerged human respiratory viruses can be a challenge. Primary cells isolated from the
human conducting airway can be cultured at an air liquid interface and following maturation recapitulate the
morphology of the airway epithelium. These cultures provide a unique in vitro model and for one human
coronavirus, HKU 1, provide the only in vitro model for studying this virus.

C. Contributions to Science
1. Understanding the origin and cross-species transmission of bat coronaviruses. Bats harbor a large
diversity of coronaviruses (CoVs) and have been identified as the natural reservoirs and evolutionary
sources of several emerging human coronaviruses, including Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARSCoV) that emerged in China in 2002, However, CoV evolution and diversification in their bat hosts remain
poorly understood. In this study, I used a Bayesian statistical framework to study the macroevolution of bat
CoVs and their cross-species transmission dynamics and dispersal in China. This work reveals that alphaCoVs were able to switch hosts more frequently and between more distantly related taxa than beta-CoVs
during their evolution and suggest that phylogenetic distance among hosts represents higher constraint on
host switches for beta- than alpha-CoVs. We identify the host taxa and geographic regions that together
define hotspots of CoV phyla-diversity in China, allowing for more targeted surveillance of bat-borne CoVs
and early detection to mitigate disease emergence and outbreaks in the future.

2. Phylogeography of Nipah virus and its bat host in Bangladesh. The structure and connectivity of
wildlife host populations may strongly influence zoonotic disease dynamics, evolution, and therefore
spillover risk to people. In Bangladesh, Pteropus medius is the putative reservoir for Nipah virus. In this
study, I use mitochondrial DNA and nuclear microsatellite markers to measure the population structure,
demographic history, and phylogeography of P. medius in Bangladesh to better inform the dynamics,
distribution, and evolutionary history of Nipah virus. We combine this with a phylogeographic analysis of all
known Nipah virus sequences and strains currently available.

3. Research on rodent pathogens diversity and co-evolution. Rodents are recognized as hosts of at least
60 zoonotic diseases that represent a serious threat to human health. Rodents have also been involved in
the emergence and spread of infectious diseases of human health importance such as plague, murine
typhus, scrub typhus, leptospirosis and hantavirus hemorrhagic fever. My postdoctoral work aimed at better
understanding the co-evolution of rodent pathogens and their hosts in Southeast Asia.

C. Contributions to Science
1. Understanding the origin and cross-species transmission of bat coronaviruses. Bats harbor a large
diversity of coronaviruses (CoVs) and have been identified as the natural reservoirs and evolutionary
sources of several emerging human coronaviruses, including Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARSCoV) that emerged in China in 2002, However, CoV evolution and diversification in their bat hosts remain
poorly understood. In this study, I used a Bayesian statistical framework to study the macroevolution of bat
CoVs and their cross-species transmission dynamics and dispersal in China. This work reveals that alphaCoVs were able to switch hosts more frequently and between more distantly related taxa than beta-CoVs
during their evolution and suggest that phylogenetic distance among hosts represents higher constraint on
host switches for beta- than alpha-CoVs. We identify the host taxa and geographic regions that together
define hotspots of CoV phyla-diversity in China, allowing for more targeted surveillance of bat-borne CoVs
and early detection to mitigate disease emergence and outbreaks in the future.

2. Phylogeography of Nipah virus and its bat host in Bangladesh. The structure and connectivity of
wildlife host populations may strongly influence zoonotic disease dynamics, evolution, and therefore
spillover risk to people. In Bangladesh, Pteropus medius is the putative reservoir for Nipah virus. In this
study, I use mitochondrial DNA and nuclear microsatellite markers to measure the population structure,
demographic history, and phylogeography of P. medius in Bangladesh to better inform the dynamics,
distribution, and evolutionary history of Nipah virus. We combine this with a phylogeographic analysis of all
known Nipah virus sequences and strains currently available.

3. Research on rodent pathogens diversity and co-evolution. Rodents are recognized as hosts of at least
60 zoonotic diseases that represent a serious threat to human health. Rodents have also been involved in
the emergence and spread of infectious diseases of human health importance such as plague, murine
typhus, scrub typhus, leptospirosis and hantavirus hemorrhagic fever. My postdoctoral work aimed at better
understanding the co-evolution of rodent pathogens and their hosts in Southeast Asia.

A. Personal Statement
Human-environment-wildlife interactions are the driving interest behind my research pursuits. Specifically, my
research aims to identify the consequences of land-use change and increased human-wildlife interactions on
the persistence of wildlife populations as well as the implications for zoonotic disease spillover to exposed
human populations. My research takes a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating applied ecology, wildlife
epidemiology, and disease surveillance, to understand the role of human disturbance in shaping wildlife
communities, ranging from assemblage composition and population demographics to individual health and
infection dynamics. I have 17 years of experience conducting field-based research on the ecology and health
of wildlife, with a focus on bats and rodents, and 3 years of international experience in bat disease surveillance
in often resource-limited and remote sites. Moreover, I integrate principles of ecophysiology and disease
ecology to identify specific environmental and ecological drivers that enhance pathogen persistence and
transmission between bat hosts and to proactively prevent spillover events and safeguard human and animal
health. My research has led to a better understanding of the consequences of environmental manipulation on
bat health and disease dynamics at the human-wildlife interface, and development of a cave prioritization index
to promote bat conservation.

mammalian orders, yet many populations are declining globally. Working with collaborators in the
Philippines, I identified anthropogenic and environmental drivers of assemblage composition, population
abundance, and individual health in cave-roosting bats of the Philippines. This research led to the
identification of environmental and human disturbance factors that are most influential in structuring bat
assemblages, thus allowing for prioritization of caves to conserve cave bats. Moreover, my findings
highlight that human disturbance at roosting and foraging sites contributes to reduced diversity and
simplified composition in cave bat assemblages. Minimizing disease risks to public health requires
integrating tools from applied ecology and analytical modelling to identify ecological drivers that promote
virus persistence and spread in bat assemblages. We found that transmission rates of viruses between bat
species is strongly associated with roosting ecology, with species that roost in caves having the highest
rate of virus sharing with co-roosting species. Caves often house a diversity of bat species, some of which
form large aggregations, so assemblage composition and population structure likely contributes to infection
dynamics in cave-roosting bats.

2. Bat health & disease surveillance. Bats are reservoir hosts for numerous zoonotic diseases, including
fatal diseases such as rabies, Hendra, and Marburg. Despite the potentially devastating consequences of
zoonotic disease spillover on public health, few studies have examined the ecological mechanisms that
promote zoonotic disease persistence in diverse bat assemblages. To understand the underlying
individual-level mechanisms that drive compositional turnover and species loss in bat communities, I
assessed physiological health of 725 individual bats (i.e., neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios, leukocyte counts,
body condition, and ectoparasite counts) exposed to gradients of cave disturbance. I also included
measures of cave quality (i.e., size and complexity), social context (i.e., species richness, conspecific and
heterospecific abundance), and intrinsic traits (i.e., sex, reproductive state) to understand how contextspecific factors may modulate individual health when exposed to disturbance. My findings reveal the
importance of assemblage and population dynamics and ecological traits (e.g., sex, reproductive state) on
the health of cave-roosting bats, which may influence an individual's susceptibility to infection. Working with
regional collaborators from Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, Pakistan, and Jordan, I am characterizing the
diversity and composition of bat species and associated coronaviruses across Western Asia in conjunction
profiling bat-human interfaces at sampled sites to assess the risk of zoonotic disease emergence in the
region.

3. Network coordination & capacity building. Zoonotic threats to public health are typically shared across a
region due to shared host species distributions, consequently our ability to take proactive actions against
such threats requires coordinated initiatives to build the capacity of multidisciplinary partners to study host
ecology and disease surveillance across the region. I serve on the steering committee of the NSF-funded
Southeast Asian Bat Research Unit (2011 - present), and work collaboratively with a large multidisciplinary
network of 30+ international bat researchers to promote capacity building and research activities of local
bat biologists in Southeast Asian countries. Specifically, I conduct workshops on how to design and
implement research studies in bat ecology, including publishing results in peer-reviewed journals. I provide
hands-on training on proper techniques for capturing, handling, and identifying bat species; collecting
morphological measurements and ecological and acoustic data; taking diagnostic samples to assess
measures of stress physiology; surveying and mapping cave systems, and site characterization to assess
human disturbance levels and types of bat-human interactions) in Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia,
Philippines, and Thailand. Furthermore, I serve as the Field Scientist for the DTRA-funded Western Asia
Bat Research Network (WAB-Net, 2018 - present) with the primary responsibility to establish and build
capacity in zoonotic disease field surveillance with local multidisciplinary partners across Western Asia.
Working with 10+ WAB-Net partners, I developed standardized field protocols for collecting non-lethal
samples from bats and characterization of study sites to identify potential routes of interactions between
bats and humans and/or domestic animals as well as developed standardized laboratory protocols for
detecting and characterizing coronavirus diversity. I coordinate (e.g., procure research permits, necessary
supplies and equipment, export and import permits, etc.) and oversee all sampling events across the
region to ensure standardization of data collection and sample testing as well as biosafety (PPE)
guidelines.

3. Network coordination & capacity building. Zoonotic threats to public health are typically shared across a
region due to shared host species distributions, consequently our ability to take proactive actions against
such threats requires coordinated initiatives to build the capacity of multidisciplinary partners to study host
ecology and disease surveillance across the region. I serve on the steering committee of the NSF-funded
Southeast Asian Bat Research Unit (2011 - present), and work collaboratively with a large multidisciplinary
network of 30+ international bat researchers to promote capacity building and research activities of local
bat biologists in Southeast Asian countries. Specifically, I conduct workshops on how to design and
implement research studies in bat ecology, including publishing results in peer-reviewed journals. I provide
hands-on training on proper techniques for capturing, handling, and identifying bat species; collecting
morphological measurements and ecological and acoustic data; taking diagnostic samples to assess
measures of stress physiology; surveying and mapping cave systems, and site characterization to assess
human disturbance levels and types of bat-human interactions) in Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia,
Philippines, and Thailand. Furthermore, I serve as the Field Scientist for the DTRA-funded Western Asia
Bat Research Network (WAB-Net, 2018 - present) with the primary responsibility to establish and build
capacity in zoonotic disease field surveillance with local multidisciplinary partners across Western Asia.
Working with 10+ WAB-Net partners, I developed standardized field protocols for collecting non-lethal
samples from bats and characterization of study sites to identify potential routes of interactions between
bats and humans and/or domestic animals as well as developed standardized laboratory protocols for
detecting and characterizing coronavirus diversity. I coordinate (e.g., procure research permits, necessary
supplies and equipment, export and import permits, etc.) and oversee all sampling events across the
region to ensure standardization of data collection and sample testing as well as biosafety (PPE)
guidelines.

C. Contributions to Science
1. Research on associations between human-animal interactions and zoonotic disease risk. I am a
lead author on a study that analyzes paired human survey and serological data to characterize
associations between human-animal interaction and zoonotic spillover risk in Southern China (recently
submitted for publication). The study provides the first serological evidence of bat-born SARS-related
coronavirus and HKU10 coronavirus spillover and shows that domestic animals, in addition to wildlife, are
an important link in understanding transmission from bat to human populations. As the lead data analyst on
the study, I oversaw the statistical design, execution, and reporting. In addition to this study, I am a lead on
analysis and reporting of human survey data collected in over 20 countries under the PREDICT project. In
this role, I have developed an automatic report generator that provides data summaries, maps and
graphics, and results of statistical analyses to global partners. This tool allows researchers and policy
makers to understand and interpret links between animal contact and self-reported illness drawn from a
complex data set.
2. Toxicological and exposure modeling in environmental risk assessment. I have formal training in
human health and ecological risk assessment and three years of experience consulting in risk assessment
under state environmental departments, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and
the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). In this time, I worked to advance risk assessment techniques
to make better use of available toxicological and exposure data through statistical modeling. I frequently
presented on the topic and contributed to novel risk assessments that incorporated mechanic, probabilistic
and Bayesian modeling techniques to improve risk characterization and communication.

3. Software development and information technology operations (DevOps) to support scientific
research. I develop tools that support researchers. For USAID-funded PREDICT, I develop and
maintenance R packages and pipelines for data querying, cleaning, quality assurance, visualization, and
synthesis. I have developed dashboards and web-based apps on multiple projects to facilitate analysis
and interaction with data. I also train and support researchers across fields in programming, analysis, and
quality control methods.

C. Contributions to Science
1. Using molecular and geospatial data to conduct epidemiological investigations. My early research as
an epidemiologist focused on the transmission of tuberculosis (TB) among New York City (NYC) public
housing residents. TB incidence in NYC had reached a peak in the 1990s and has significantly declined
due to advances in case detection and treatment protocols. By the early 201 Os, a majority of TB cases in
NYC were among foreign-born individuals who became infected in TB-endemic countries before arriving to
the United States. However, in early 2011, a number of TB cases among U.S.-born NYC public housing
residents raised concern that TB may be spreading within public housing facilities or directly between
public housing residents. If true, this TB transmission occurring within NYC posed an opportunity for public
health intervention aimed at interrupting further TB transmission. Working with the NYC Department of
Health and Mental Hygiene Bureau of Tuberculosis Control, I reviewed all confirmed TB cases in NYC
between 2001 and 2009, and geocoded all patient addresses to obtain their residence's building
identification numbers (BINs) and ran them against the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA)
registered BINs to classify cases as public housing residents (NYCHA) or non-public housing residents.
Overall, I found U.S.-born NYCHA residents had twice the TB incidence of all other U.S.-bom NYC
residents. However, comparing the molecular TB strain data among NYCHA residents, I found they had
high strain diversity. Further, there was no molecular evidence of TB strain clustering within NYCHA
buildings, NYCHA complexes, or between NYCHA residents. Therefore, I concluded the increased burden
of TB among NY CHA residents is due to public housing's role as a social safety net (which concentrates a
population having many independent TB risk factors: history of homelessness, poverty, etc.) rather than
due to spread within buildings or between residents. Due to these findings, the Bureau partnered with
NY CHA to raise awareness of TB among residents and to provide information on getting free testing and
treatment.

Overall, I found U.S.-born NYCHA residents had twice the TB incidence of all other U.S.-bom NYC
residents. However, comparing the molecular TB strain data among NYCHA residents, I found they had
high strain diversity. Further, there was no molecular evidence of TB strain clustering within NYCHA
buildings, NYCHA complexes, or between NYCHA residents. Therefore, I concluded the increased burden
of TB among NY CHA residents is due to public housing's role as a social safety net (which concentrates a
population having many independent TB risk factors: history of homelessness, poverty, etc.) rather than
due to spread within buildings or between residents. Due to these findings, the Bureau partnered with
NY CHA to raise awareness of TB among residents and to provide information on getting free testing and
treatment.

2. Turning epidemiological surveillance data into evidence-based policy positions. While working for
the CDC Global Disease Detection Regional Center in Cairo, Egypt, I served as team lead for the Eastern
Mediterranean Acute Respiratory Infection Surveillance (EMARIS) Network which operated in Egypt, Iraq,
Iraq-Kurdistan, Jordan, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, and Yemen. The prevailing thought on influenza
seasonality was that many countries or regions with arid/desert-like or tropical climates do not experience
pronounced seasonal activity as do other countries with temperate climates (which experience Northern
Hemisphere or Southern Hemisphere seasonal patterns). Understanding seasonal influenza patterns is an
important public health priority because it may impact seasonal influenza vaccination policy and timing the
allocation of hospital and clinic resources. I analyzed influenza patterns across seven years of patient data
from the EMARIS Network in Egypt and Jordan, and found that both countries clearly exhibit Northern
Hemisphere influenza seasonal patterns, with increased activity between November and May typically
reaching peak activity between January and March. We communicated this information to our hospital
partners in the EMARIS Network and with the Ministries of Health in order to support redistribution of
relevant hospital and clinic resources during times of peak influenza activity as well as to add on to the
evidence base supporting the adoption of Northern Hemisphere seasonal influenza vaccination in both
countries.

3. Examining causal pathways of zoonotic disease transmission for intervention development. In
addition to the contributions described above, I have been working with the PREDICT-2 team to describe
viral spillover, including MERS, in Egypt and Jordan and to characterize behavioral risks for MERS. We
conduct triangulated viral surveillance among people, wildlife, and livestock along animal-human interfaces
in both countries to detect known and novel viruses from the viral families of Coronaviruses, Influenza
viruses, Filoviruses, and Paramyxoviruses as well as to detect antibodies to MERS-CoV. All enrolled
participants are asked to have nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs and sera collected and to
complete a standardized questionnaire assessing social and demographic characteristics and behavioral
practices. In Jordan, I developed additional questionnaire modules specifically addressing exposures and
behavioral practices pertaining to dromedary camels which are being used to characterize specific risk
behaviors for MERS spillover from camels to humans. Analyses are currently underway and will be
completed in the first half of 2019.

I have five years of research training and experience in transforming extensive sets of in-depth interviews and
focus group discussions into insightful analyses for critical global health issues. My research with these
ethnographic datasets has included working with transcripts from Indonesia, Bangladesh, the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, Cote d'Ivoire, and Zambia, investigating sensitive healthseeking and risky behaviors that are often at odds with local norms and regulations. I am the Program
Coordinator for Behavioral Risk Surveillance at EcoHealth Alliance, a US-based 501 (c)3 institution that
conducts research on emerging zoonoses. Under USAID's PREDICT-2, I am leading several qualitative
analyses of behaviors at critical environmental and occupational interfaces known to put vulnerable human
populations in close contact with taxa that are often linked to significant emerging infectious disease risk.
Under a framework of analyzing knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors, I am leading international teams in
generating country-specific insights that will play a critical role in creating evidence-based intervention
recommendations designed to protect local populations from the next pandemic. I leverage my public health
research training and experience to guide analyses that are sensitive to local gender and socioeconomic
norms. I also build capacity by training multidisciplinary scientific partners in coding and analyzing qualitative
datasets.

C. Contributions to Science
1. Qualitative analyses of global datasets attuned to socially-sensitive topics. Nuanced attitudes and
beliefs are difficult to surface through quantitative human research tools alone, and qualitative explorations
are a boon for researchers investigating populations living in environments with rigid social traditions.
Through my qualitative work with Columbia University's RAISE Initiative, I collaboratively leveraged the
focus group dataset to understand the complex ways in which focus groups initially expressed locally
conforming beliefs about highly sensitive reproductive health issues, before offering more nuanced beliefs
and attitudes related to gender, age, and circumstance. My other work, including those currently in
progress at EcoHealth Alliance, has benefitted from this approach in framing the observations not only
against the social environment, but against the progression of ideas within a given transcript.

program coordinator on four prior R01 s, my work has helped demonstrate their bat origin (SARS-CoV,
SADS-CoV), analyze the drivers of their emergence and risk factors for spillover. Collaborating with
virologists in China, I have identified SARS-like CoVs and other viruses in bats and other mammals. This
work provides critical reagents and resources that have helped advance understanding of virus-host
binding and may contribute to vaccine development.

1. Understanding the risk factors of zoonotic disease mergence among the high-risk communities. With
its rapid urbanization and development as well as the high diversity of animal species, southern China is facing
major social and ecological changes that result in human and animal interactions favoring the emergence of
zoonotic diseases. In order to identify the zoonotic risks and develop a risk-mitigation strategy, the study used
a biological-behavioral surveillance method to demonstrate the serological evidence of viral spill-over into
human population, and identify demographic factors and human-animal interactions associated with viral
exposure and self-reported severe acute respiratory and influenza-like illness symptoms. Combining existing
protective factors and intervention opportunities, individual, social, community, and policy-level mitigation
strategies are recommended to prevent zoonotic risk in Southern China.

C. Contributions to Science
1. Research on the neuroimmunology of neurological diseases. I have spent years researching
neuroimmunology in neurological diseases such as autoimmune encephalitis, myasthenia gravis, GuillainBarre syndrome, and stroke. I have developed clinical and lab-based diagnostics, and have conducted
research to differentiate between immune- and infectious encephalitis in order to facilitate treatments.

2. Extensive research on rabies. I have researched and published extensively on rabies, working
specifically on topics such as: streamlining of vaccination regimens, neuropathogenesis of rabies virus, and
finding alternative treatment plans. I have analyzed rabies from the clinical, proteomics, and molecular
level, hoping to be able to paint the full picture of rabies virus infection. I have also analyzed the sociopolitical level of rabies management and continue to do so at the national level. The papers below are
selected from nearly 200 other studies I've published on this topic.

3. Wildlife virus surveillance at the human interface in Thailand. My lab has been at the forefront of
zoonotic disease surveillance in Thailand for over 20 years, including active surveillance for Nipah virus,
Ebola viruses, and coronaviruses in wildlife. This work also includes international collaborations to better
understand the global distribution of key groups of viruses, e.g. novel hepaciviruses.

A. Personal Statement
I am an infectious disease consultant for Sa bah State Health Department and an infectious disease physician
working in the only tertiary referral center in Sabah, serving a population of 3 million people managing various
complex and emerging infectious diseases. I am an integral partner from the Ministry of Health Malaysia,
involved in collaborative research with partners from Menzies School of Health Research, Australia to further
the understanding of epidemiology, pathophysiology and clinical management of zoonotic plasmodium
knowlesi malaria. I have also been involved with local and international partners, examining emerging
infectious disease threats in the region including the PREDICT project. Among others, I have authored
scientific papers describing cases of Streptococcus suis and one of the few detailed post-mortem cases of fatal
zika virus infections in an adult.

A. Personal Statement
I am an infectious disease consultant for Sa bah State Health Department and an infectious disease physician
working in the only tertiary referral center in Sabah, serving a population of 3 million people managing various
complex and emerging infectious diseases. I am an integral partner from the Ministry of Health Malaysia,
involved in collaborative research with partners from Menzies School of Health Research, Australia to further
the understanding of epidemiology, pathophysiology and clinical management of zoonotic plasmodium
knowlesi malaria. I have also been involved with local and international partners, examining emerging
infectious disease threats in the region including the PREDICT project. Among others, I have authored
scientific papers describing cases of Streptococcus suis and one of the few detailed post-mortem cases of fatal
zika virus infections in an adult.

A. Personal Statement
I have nearly 20 years of laboratory experience on human viruses. I have started off with the sentinel surveillance
of Hand, foot and mouth Disease (HFMD) from 2000-2004 providing molecular screening on swabs obtained
from public hospitals and sentinel clinics. Results were made available to the Department of Public Health and
State's Disaster Management Committee for outbreak management. I was tasked to develop a serological assay
for the detection of Enterovirus 71. I have received the prestigious National Science Fellowship (NSF) Award
from the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment for my work on EV71 in Sarawak. I was also involved
with the screening of suspected SARS-CoV specimens from Sarawak General Hospital (SGH) using molecular
techniques but fortunately none were confirmed positive during that time. No manuscript was published on the
work on SARS-CoV due to negative results but the experience of donning and doffing extra amount of PPE,
setting up administrative and the maximizing the use of engineering controls to work safety in the laboratory
become an invaluable experience for a virologist such as myself. Thereafter, I pursued my doctorate degree in
Newcastle University, UK under the supervision of Emeritus Professor Geoffrey Toms. My project was to study
the protective nature of maternal antibodies against human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). I have to work
closely with the research nurse to obtain in nasoparyngeal swabs and blood serum from hRSV infected infants.
All work related with my MSc and PhD were tissue culture, molecular biology and serology intensive. Whilst
heading the Centre for Tropical and Emerging Diseases, I have worked closely with zoologists from my UNI MAS
to study the seroprevalence of hantavirus in both rodents captured from residential and forested areas of
Sarawak. The work involved setting up traps in strategic locations, capturing the animal, obtaining specimens
and ethically euthanizing the animal. I have collaborated with Southampton University, UK funded by Newton
Fund to study the nasal carriage of Streptococcus pneumoniae in the Malaysian population in hope to provide
disease burden data to influence the adoption of the pneumococcal vaccine in Malaysia. The newest project is

in Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer. We are trying to define the molecular epidemiology of HPV
in Sarawak and at the same time provide HPV DNA test for the rural communities. The work involves explaining
the study to the women, obtaining informed consent and obtaining the specimen. Participating women are also
visually screened for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) using visual inspection using acetic acid (VIA). This
work is still at its infancy and 2 manuscripts are already in the pipeline. Recently, we have acquired the careHPV
system (Qiagen), packed it in boxes and took a flight to Bario, a remote town at the northeast of Sarawak and
set the portable laboratory there to screen the women for HPV infection and also providing them with cervical
examination.

in Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer. We are trying to define the molecular epidemiology of HPV
in Sarawak and at the same time provide HPV DNA test for the rural communities. The work involves explaining
the study to the women, obtaining informed consent and obtaining the specimen. Participating women are also
visually screened for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) using visual inspection using acetic acid (VIA). This
work is still at its infancy and 2 manuscripts are already in the pipeline. Recently, we have acquired the careHPV
system (Qiagen), packed it in boxes and took a flight to Bario, a remote town at the northeast of Sarawak and
set the portable laboratory there to screen the women for HPV infection and also providing them with cervical
examination.

I am interested in the systematics and molecular evolution of Southeast Asian mammals, particularly bats. I aim
to understand the diversity of several genera in these groups, looking for common patterns in their distributions
and origins. This allows me to understand the extent to which biogeography of Southeast Asia has shaped the
genetic diversity of mammals in this region. Currently, my lab is examining the evolution of Roundleaf bats,
Horseshoe bats, and several groups of rodents. We are studying multiple transmission lines (paternal, maternal
and autosomal markers) along with behavioral characteristic such as echolocation, and we are using geometric
morphometric technique to identify taxonomic units. My hope is that this research will provide a better
understanding of the mode of evolution and diversification for bats and rodents in Southeast Asia. I am also keen
to move forward with the advancement of the genomic field, by incorporating bioinformatics to better utilize
natural history collections. I hope to use this new tool to better understand the microbial fauna carried by
mammalian hosts.

C. Contributions to Science
1. Studies on the systematics and evolution of mammals. Different climatic conditions and geologic
settings have been seen as the major signature in promoting diversification in mammals. Different types of
molecular techniques allow us to capture this variation and understand when all of this happens. Further,
new analyses allow us to test for the potential pitfall in analyzing data from different group of mammals.

2. Assessing bat diversity across Malaysia. The actual bat diversity in Malaysia may be underestimated, as
there are several new species recently described which were unknown due to their cryptic morphology. New
species are the result of incorporating: molecular methods with greater resolution, electronically recorded
acoustic calls, and efficient field techniques such as harp traps, to properly describe species diversity and
status. Different hypotheses have been proposed to facilitate speciation processes in Southeast Asian bats
(e.g. geographic isolation, habitat fragmentation, adaptation to different echolocation calls, etc.).

C. Contribution to Science
1. Research on the molecular epidemiology of rabies virus in Asian countries. Rabies is the most fatal
among all the infectious diseases with 100% mortality rate, however 100% protective if vaccine is used
properly Therefore proper epidemiology, strains detection in different animals and variants detection is of
utmost importance. Although rabies death toll is highest in Asian countries however studies are scarce from
this region. My group studied the molecular epidemiology in Thailand, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Laos and Sri
Lanka. We found a wide range of genotypes of rabies viruses are circulating in not only dogs but among cats
and a wide range of wild animals. Rabies in bat is well recognized in the Americas however we first time
confirmed rabies in an Asian bat. We also detected rabies for the first time in civet. We also showed that the
strain is a variant of circulating rabies virus indicating genetic changes are occurring which may jeopardize
vaccination.

2. Detection of animal-human reassortant of rotaviruses in human infections. Rotavirus gastroenteritis
was designated as the first emerging infectious disease. Although there is species specificity regarding the
genotype distribution of rotavirus, however, in several instances strains can jump from animals to humans or
can form human-animal reassortant virus. These strains are challenge for the current rotavirus vaccination
strategy. We have documented several events of human-animal reassortants during our research in several
Asian countries.

3. Improved diagnostic kits for zoonotic infections. Diagnosis of diseases is hampered by unavailability of
user friendly, economical, rapid and robust diagnostic kits in the remote areas of Asia and Africa where the
zoonotic diseases are more. Every year about 55,000 people die of rabies however it is known that many
cases go undiagnosed because of the lack of diagnostic facilities in many areas. My group developed
immunochromatography kit for diagnosis of rabies which is easy to use, robust and with high sensitivity and
specificity. In many developing countries host response after vaccination cannot be evaluated due to the

A. Personal Statement:
I am an infectious diseases clinician-scientist based in Singapore and my research is focused on diagnosis,
epidemiology, pathogenesis and clinical management of tropical and emerging infectious diseases. My
research has been conducted in the field in low and middle income countries in South East Asia including
Indonesia, Myanmar, Malaysian Borneo and Bangladesh as well as in Tanzania, Africa. In Indonesia,
Bangladesh and Tanzania, my research has been conducted on clinical management and vascular
pathogenesis of malaria including drug-resistant parasites in district hospitals and outpatient clinics. These
studies were done in collaboration with the Indonesian Ministry of Health, Oxford University and Duke
University. In Myanmar, the research has been conducted with the National Tuberculosis Reference
Laboratory on the molecular epidemiology, transmission, diagnosis, and clinical therapeutics of multi-drug
resistant tuberculosis in Yangon. In Malaysian Borneo, I have collaborated with the Malaysian Ministry of
Health and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine on a novel emerging zoonotic malaria,
Plasmodium knowlesi, which is increasing in incidence and is now the most common cause of malaria in
Malaysia due to changes in land use. These studies have included multi-disciplinary studies involving
entomologists, social scientists, geospatial experts, parasitologists and economists. Results from several of
these studies have been used in the development of World Health Organization guidelines for malaria. In
Malaysian Borneo, I have also collaborated on multiple clinical studies on central nervous system infections
(including encephalitis) in both adults and children, as well as studies to delineate the etiologies of acute
undifferentiated febrile illness in adults.
In Singapore, I am currently a clinician scientist, practicing adult infectious disease physician and designated
lead researcher for emerging viral and infectious disease at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases, the
designated facility for management of outbreaks. I have been involved in the national response and research
related to the Zika outbreak in Singapore in 2016 and well as the travel related case of Monkeypox in 2019.
I currently also have ongoing research projects looking at the pathogenesis and clinical management of
dengue in Singapore and Malaysia. I am also the deputy director of the research training office of the National
Centre for Infectious Diseases, whose role is to co-ordinate pandemic research in Singapore.

C. Contributions to Science
1. Research on the epidemiology, risk factors, clinical management of the emerging zoonotic malaria,
Plasmodium knowlesi. In collaboration with Malaysian investigators, we have detailed the increasing
incidence of human knowlesi malaria in Malaysian Borneo with currently over 3000 cases annually, despite the
near elimination of the human malarias such as P. falciparum and P. vivax. Collaborating with investigators, I
have also been detailing the rise of this parasite in other areas of South East Asia including Sumatra,
Indonesia. In an inter-disciplinary study with other scientists, we have also detailed that change in land use and
local ecology leading to a change in simian and vector behavior is a main driver of the increasing incidence.
Clinical studies including randomized controlled trials have also led to rigorous data for evidence based clinical
management of complicated and uncomplicated knowlesi malaria. The results from these studies have also
been used in World Health Organization guidelines on the management of malaria.

2. Delineating the Role of the Host Vascular Endothelium on the Pathogenesis of Malaria and Dengue.
I have done clinical and translational research to further characterize the role of the host vascular endothelium
on the pathogenesis of severe disease in falciparum, vivax and knowlesi malaria. This has led to several novel
findings which have led to translational studies of adjunctive agents to attenuate vascular damage and
dysfunction in critical infections such as malaria and dengue. These findings have recently also been shown by
other investigators to be relevant in other viral hemorrhagic pathogens such as Ebola.

A. Personal Statement
The HIV/STD Research Program (HSRP) is a joint enterprise of the US CDC and Thailand Ministry of Public
Health. HSRP investigates clinical and behavioral interventions to reduce HIV and STI transmission among
men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW) at high risk of acquisition. HSRP's
Laboratory section provides both clinical laboratory and microbiology capacity for clinical trials/investigations as
well as original investigations focused on HIV/STI prevention. I started my current role in Bangkok, Thailand in
May 2016, where I oversee laboratory operations, provide scientific oversighUguidance, mentor staff, support
publication/presentation of results, and coordinate operations/analysis within HSRP and our collaborators. I
have led HSRP laboratory activities for all network studies for the past three years, including MTN-026 and
HPTN-083. Prior to joining HSRP, I developed and managed multi-site and international research studies
leading to publication. I have more than 10 years of laboratory research experience in molecular techniques,
microbiology, virology, and in vivo studies. Much of my research focused on the development and
characterization of clinical interventions/medical countermeasures for emerging viral diseases, including in vivo
efficacy testing. I provided scientific mentorship laboratory personnel and oversight for research and public
health laboratory programs during the response to infectious disease, including the introduction of a novel
diagnostic for clinical practice. I contributed (first or co-authorship) to published 17 research articles (additional
publications in preparation) and more than 16 professional presentations. I have a strong interest in
translational research of clinical interventions for infectious diseases, particularly viral diseases. I have the
motivation, experience, and training to successfully execute the laboratory studies as well as contribute to the
scientific development of the proposed project.

publication/presentation of results, and coordinate operations/analysis within HSRP and our collaborators. I
have led HSRP laboratory activities for all network studies for the past three years, including MTN-026 and
HPTN-083. Prior to joining HSRP, I developed and managed multi-site and international research studies
leading to publication. I have more than 10 years of laboratory research experience in molecular techniques,
microbiology, virology, and in vivo studies. Much of my research focused on the development and
characterization of clinical interventions/medical countermeasures for emerging viral diseases, including in vivo
efficacy testing. I provided scientific mentorship laboratory personnel and oversight for research and public
health laboratory programs during the response to infectious disease, including the introduction of a novel
diagnostic for clinical practice. I contributed (first or co-authorship) to published 17 research articles (additional
publications in preparation) and more than 16 professional presentations. I have a strong interest in
translational research of clinical interventions for infectious diseases, particularly viral diseases. I have the
motivation, experience, and training to successfully execute the laboratory studies as well as contribute to the
scientific development of the proposed project.

performed a long-term study of the humeral responses to flaviviruses. This was the first NHP study
examining antibody persistence over an extended period as well as only report to directly compare the
acute infection and humeral responses to all four Dengue virus serotypes. I directed and performed an in
vivo efficacy study of a novel EV-71 virus-like particle vaccine developed by our collaborators. These
projects contributed novel tools for characterizing acute infection, further characterized host responses to
these infectious agents, and established reproducible models for important viral illnesses.

3. I developed the largest monoclonal antibody panel specific for Henipavirus Attachment (G)
Glycoproteins and used the panel to identify protective epitopes as well as structural features
associated with the viral fusion mechanism. These monoclonal antibodies were developed using the
same soluble Henipavirus G determinants included in experimental Henipavirus subunit vaccine(s) and
were used to demonstrate a conserved antigenic structure between the soluble and native G glycoprotein.
These studies identified protective epitopes not previously documented in the literature (publication in
preparation) and the first to describe receptor-independent protective epitopes of Henipavirus G. I devised
and performed molecular studies to show extensive structural changes in the G glycoprotein following
receptor binding and found some of these changes present in unbound soluble G (additional publications in
preparation). This discovery suggests soluble G assumes an intermediate receptor-bound structural
configuration and could explain why crystal structures of paramyxovirus G glycoproteins have not exhibited

4. I developed multi-site collaborative studies to identify emerging viruses and further define the
epidemiology. I worked with a team of epidemiologists and laboratorians to use molecular techniques,
including next generation sequencing, to uncover the epidemiologic relationships of a cluster of Ebola
infections near Monrovia, Liberia. These data were used to improve the public health intervention and control
further spread of the virus. I developed a reliable and adaptable assay for identifying Henipavirus-specific
antibody responses and deployed the assay for field studies, uncovering serologic evidence of sporadic
exposure to Nipah/Nipah-like virus among bats in China and school children in rural Thailand (publication in
preparation). Notably, this was the northern most detection of the virus and the first identification of
Henipaviruses in insectivorious bats. I contributed to serology screening to determine the incidence and rate of
re-infection with human Metapneumovirus, a common childhood respiratory infection. While developing a
Dengue research project, I discovered abnormal properties of a sylvatic Dengue virus isolate isolated from a
Malaysian individual with severe disease. Studies of this isolate in NHPs elicited illnesses among animals
previously challenged with another Dengue virus serotype and NHP antibody responses suggested the isolate
was antigenically divergent to the other Dengue serotypes (publication in preparation). The unique attributes of
this Dengue virus isolate have been confirmed by additional groups. These studies have contributed a better
understanding of the viral ecology and occurrence of important paramyxo-, flavi-, and filoviruses.

My strong research background with a suite of emerging zoonoses associated with wildlife will positively
support the success of the proposed project. My hybrid professional skills enable me to take a crossdisciplinary approach to the surveillance of wildlife populations, the identification of the origins of novel agents,
and the elaboration of infection dynamics in reservoir and spillover host populations. I am recognized as an
authority on EIDs associated with bats, having worked with the US Centers for Disease Control, the World
Health Organization, and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization to find the origins of Nipah virus in
Malaysia, SARS in China, and Reston ebolavirus in the Philippines. More recently, as Principal Research
Scientist at the Queensland Centre for Emerging Infections Diseases, I was co-Pl on government and
university-funded grants to elaborate Hendra virus infection and immune dynamics in the reservoir population,
enabling more effective spillover risk management. The current proposal complements and substantially
expands this approach in proposing to novel and powerful tools to understand how host immune dynamics and
heterogeneity in immune response affect the timing, location, and severity of disease outbreaks in wildlife, and

My strong research background with a suite of emerging zoonoses associated with wildlife will positively
support the success of the proposed project. My hybrid professional skills enable me to take a crossdisciplinary approach to the surveillance of wildlife populations, the identification of the origins of novel agents,
and the elaboration of infection dynamics in reservoir and spillover host populations. I am recognized as an
authority on EIDs associated with bats, having worked with the US Centers for Disease Control, the World
Health Organization, and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization to find the origins of Nipah virus in
Malaysia, SARS in China, and Reston ebolavirus in the Philippines. More recently, as Principal Research
Scientist at the Queensland Centre for Emerging Infections Diseases, I was co-Pl on government and
university-funded grants to elaborate Hendra virus infection and immune dynamics in the reservoir population,
enabling more effective spillover risk management. The current proposal complements and substantially
expands this approach in proposing to novel and powerful tools to understand how host immune dynamics and
heterogeneity in immune response affect the timing, location, and severity of disease outbreaks in wildlife, and
risk of spillover from wildlife to human populations. As a company Director, I also have strong management
skills that translate to effective team, project, budget and report management. My affiliations with the
University of Queensland and the University of Malaysia, Sabah support EID research capacity building.

Hendra virus was a pivotal breakthrough in the subsequent realization of the unique role of this taxa as
reservoirs for highly lethal zoonoses. The early work provided a model for the investigation of the origins of
wildlife associated EIDS and facilitated effective surveillance strategies; the later work elaborated
spatiotemporal patterns and informed more targeted risk mitigation strategies.

3. Origins and drivers of SARS emergence. The early epidemiological investigation of SARS cases
undertaken by our WHO team showed that the earliest human cases were associated with wet markets,
and lead to the identification of civets and other traded species as the source of human infection. However,
these species were not the natural reservoirs and as part of an international team, I played a key role in
focusing research on bats in which we subsequently found ancestral SARS-like coronaviruses. This
finding precipitated global surveillance of bats and lead to the discovery of a suite of coronaviruses in the
taxa, and promoted broader pathogen discovery focus on bats.

C. Contributions to Science
1. Applications of ecological niche modeling in disease systems. Ecological niche modeling (ENM) is
widely employed in ecology to predict species' potential geographic distributions in relation to their
environmental constraints. This method is increasingly employed to prioritize geographic areas for disease
surveillance and control under the assumption that the distribution of hosts is directly related to the
distribution of pathogens. I applied EN Ms to predict the potential impact of future climate change on the
distribution of Henipaviruses. We showed that Henipaviruses' hosts could potentially expand to new
geographic areas in Africa and Southeast Asia. I further explored the main assumption of EN Ms in disease
ecology: host distribution corresponds to pathogen distribution. Hosts may occur where parasites are
absent, and even when infection occurs, disease may be absent. I developed an ecological framework to
model the geography of disease transmission under the an ENM approach. This theoretical framework: (i)
addresses the selection of an appropriate modeling approach and highlights the importance of including
biologically sound predictor variables; (ii) proposes the concept of a microscale parasitic niche defined by
host traits to identify relevant parasite-host associations; and (iii) integrates traditional parasite ENM with
the proposed microscale niche to better understand geographic distributions and improve fine-scale
predictions of disease transmission risk.

2. Linking biodiversity, human health and ecosystems. Human health is intimately interconnected with
biodiversity and the health of our ecosystems. There are different ways in which biodiversity can provide
health and wellbeing to humans, including psychological (e.g. mental health), physiological (e.g. food
provision), and traditional and modem medicines. Another important benefit from biodiversity to human
health is the capacity to regulate the transmission and prevalence of some infectious diseases. Over the
past 5 years I have worked with environmental economists, disease ecologists and biodiversity researchers
and developed an optimal land use planning framework that assess the costs and benefits of developing
land. This framework allows to determine the optimal land conversion rate when considering the losses of
ecosystem services and also the economic damages of disease emergence. I have tested this framework
in Sabah, Malaysia and our results showed that the Malaysian government could potentially lose $US 748
million due to excessive land conversion over the next 30 years by not considering the economic damages
of malaria.

3. Impacts of land use change on the ecology of emerging infectious diseases. The majority of
emerging infectious diseases since 1940 were caused by zoonotic pathogens. Over the past 5 years I
developed and implemented a systematic sampling methodology to address the ecological factors that
drive zoonotic disease emergence due to land-use change. Land-use change has been attributed to
around 1/5 of all novel disease emergence events and around half of all zoonotic diseases. Land-use
changes could modify the risk of cross-species transmission ("spillover") by perturbing the dynamics of
pathogens in wildlife hosts and/or by bringing novel host-pathogen pairs (including humans) into
unprecedented contact. This project was implemented across a range of biogeographical regions including
the Neotropical region (Brazil), Afrotropical (Uganda) and the Oriental region (Malaysian Borneo). Sampling
was focused on two high-risk groups: bats and rodents.

I am an early career medical doctor and Thai national, who graduated from medicine and biomedical sciences
in 2017 with ongoing interests in neurology, infectious disease and immunology. I recently joined Thai Red
Cross Emerging Infectious Diseases in 2018 as a research physician and have become involved with
emerging infectious disease. Since joining I have been involved in Zika technical workshop and clinical section
editor for Zika operational guideline in Southeast Asian countries, leading to my first lead-authored paper
below. I have participated in multi-sectoral collaboration at the animal human ecosystem interface in Thailand,
and the infectious disease emergence and economic of altered landscapes and environmental economics
workshop led by EcoHealth Alliance. I have been working with the USAID-PREDICT project for the last 6
months to lead analysis of clinical data and linking this to observed virus detections.
I am also a full-time clinician now based at the Queen Savang Vadhana Memorial Hospital in Chonburi,
Thailand. If we are funded to develop our EID-SEARCH research program, I am excited to include our hospital
as one of our clinical sites under Specific Aim 3 of the research proposal.

Consultant Services --------------=,:-:-,:-:cw:-:= We request Cb> (4), Cb> (6) in each year of this proposed project to engage
Senior Veterinary Officer and Epidemiologist Dr. Hume Field. Dr. Field has over 20 years of experience
working in Southeast Asia on wildlife disease surveillance. Most recently he was the Principal Research
Scientist at the Australian Queensland Centre for Emerging Infectious Diseases where he was co-Pl on
numerous international government and university-funded projects which sought to elaborate
zoonotic disease infections. He works closely with the US Centers for Disease Control, the World Health
Organization, and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. His work directly resulted in the finding of the
origins of Nipah virus in Malaysia, SARS in China, and Reston ebolavirus in the Philippines. Dr. Field will
participate in training field teams, provide support and recommendation on project evaluation and consultation
on drafting high-impact, quality peer-review scientific manuscripts based upon project findings.
Publication Costs
We request $7,000 per year for only Years 2 to 5 for open access fees required to publish research findings in
peer-reviewed journals such as Nature, Public Library of Science, and other journals. We estimate two
publications per year at $3,500 in open access fees each.
Subawards/Consortium/Contractuaf Costs
We are requesting consortium/contractual support for our five partners in all years of our proposed project:
Chulalongkorn University Hospital Thailand, Conservation Medicine Malaysia, Duke-National University
Singapore Medical School, Uniformed Services University {via Henry M. Jackson Foundation), and the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. We have fully detailed these direct and indirect costs in their
respective sub-award budgets.
Shipping
We will be shipping biological samples from Thailand and Malaysia to our collaborators at the National
Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL) in Boston USA. Shipping box and all taxes are estimated
at $3,000 per shipment. We estimate 3 shipments of samples ($3,000 x 3 = $9,000) will be sent every year
from each country (Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia: $9,000 x 3 = $27,000) throughout the duration of our
project.
H. Indirect Costs
Page 180
Budget Justification Attachment
Contact PD/Pl: DASZAK, PETER
We are requesting the EcoHealth Alliance federally approved indirect cost rate of 32% on all applicable direct
costs. The cognizant agency is the US Department of Defense Department of the Navy. Our Indirect is also
applied only on the first $25,000 for each consortium/contractual agreement in each year. As there are 5
consortium/contractual agreements, a total of $40,000 is requested as indirect costs on consortium/subaward
agreements only in Year 1. This and all consortium indirect costs are not included as part of direct cost
calculations. In years 2-5 no indirect will be taken on consortium/contractual agreement subcontracts.

coronavirus cross species transmission and pathogenesis and has studied this group of viruses for over 30
years. His group developed the first reverse genetic systems for epidemic and zoonotic SARS-like and
coronaviruses and they have studied the ability of these viruses to replicate efficiently in various primary
human airway epithelial cell cultures as well as other key primary cell types. His group has also studied the
sensitivity of these viruses to be controlled by existing vaccines and therapeutics both in vitro and in vivo. Dr.
Barie will lead the studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He will design research strategies,
interpret findings and review research outcomes with Dr. Sims and Mr. Yount. At a regular basis, Dr. Barie will
report the results of the teams research to Dr. Daszak, and together, they will use this information to identify
additional research priorities and design downstream studies. Ors. Daszak and Barie have published together
in the past and participated on research project applications. He will work closely with Ors. Sims and Tse and

Southeast Asia is one of the world's highest-risk EID hotspots, and the origin of the SARS pandemic, repeated
outbreaks of novel influenza strains and the spillover of dangerous viral pathogens such as Nipah virus. It is a
wildlife 'megadiversity' region, where a rapidly expanding human population is increasing contact with wildlife,
and increasing the risk of zoonotic disease outbreaks. The overarching goal of this proposal is to launch the
gmerging !nfectious Qiseases - §outh gast Asia Research Collaboration Hub (EID-SEARCH) to analyze the
diversity of key viral pathogens in wildlife, the frequency and causes of their spillover, and to identify viral
etiologies of undiagnosed 'cryptic' outbreaks in people. EID-SEARCH includes leaders in the field of emerging
viral pathogens at key US institutions, and in Thailand, Singapore, and the 3 major Malaysian administrative
regions, whose collaborative networks span >50 clinics, laboratories, and research institutes across almost all
SE Asian countries. This hub, and the network, will act as an early warning system for outbreaks - a way to
exchange information, reagents, samples and technology, and a collaborative power-house for translational
research. The long-term collaboration among the key personnel, and multidisciplinary skillsets from
epidemiology, clinical management, lab analysis, through wildlife biology and data analysis will act as
significant assets when deployed to help counter outbreaks in the region. The research goals of this
EIDRC follow three specific aims:
Specific Aim 1: Identify, characterize and rank spillover risk of high zoonotic potential viruses from
wildlife. We will: 1) analyze some of the tens of thousands of archived wildlife samples at our disposal,
conduct geographically- and taxonomically-targeted field surveillance in wild mammals (bats, rodents,
primates), and use serological & PCR assays to identify known high-profile zoonotic pathogens, or close
relatives with potential to infect people; 2) biologically characterize novel viruses that our analyses suggest
have high spillover and pandemic potential; and 3) conduct in vitro receptor binding assays and cell culture
experiments, and in vivo animal model infections using humanized mice and the collaborative cross mouse to
assess their potential to infect people and cause disease.
Specific Aim 2: Identify evidence and analyze risk factors for viral spillover in high-risk communities
using novel serological assays. Assessing the spillover of rare or novel zoonotic agents will require targeted
surveillance of high-risk communities and approaches that can deal with the low statistical probability of
identifying rare events. To achieve this, we will 1) conduct targeted cross-sectional serological surveys of
human communities with extremely high geographic and cultural, occupational and behavioral exposure to
wildlife-origin viruses; 2) design and deploy novel serological assays to identify baseline spillover of known or
novel CoVs, PMVs and FVs in these populations; and 3) analyze and test hypotheses on the occupational,
cultural and other risk factors for spillover (e.g. hunting wildlife).
Specific Aim 3: Identify and characterize viral etiology of 'cryptic' outbreaks in clinical cohorts. Our
prior work provides substantial evidence of spillover leading to undiagnosed illness in people in the region. To
test if these represent 'cryptic' outbreaks of novel viruses, we will conduct syndromic surveillance at regional
clinics for the communities sampled in SA2. We will: 1) enroll and collect biological samples, and detailed
survey data on risk factors, from patients presenting with influenza-like illness, severe respiratory illness,
encephalitis, and other specific symptoms; 2) conduct molecular and follow-up serological diagnostic assays to
test causal links between their syndromes and known and novel viral agents identified in SA 1. Where viruses
are identified, we will attempt to isolate and characterize them, then use the survey data, ecological and
phylogenetic analyses to identify likely reservoir hosts/spillover pathways and inform intervention programs.
This research will advance our understanding of the risk of novel viral emergence in a uniquely important
region. It will strengthen in-country research capacity by linking local infectious disease scientists with an
international collaborative network that has proven capacity to conduct this work and produce
significant findings. These include: testing of tens of thousands of samples from wildlife, humans and
livestock in the region; discovery of hundreds of novel viruses from zoonotic viral families in wildlife; outbreak
investigations in rural communities across SE Asia; discovery of the bat-origin of SARSr-CoVs; discovery of a
novel bat-origin SADS-CoV killing >25,000 pigs in S. China; and development of novel serological and
molecular assays for high-impact viruses, and state-of-the-art in vitro and in vivo assays to characterize viral
pathogenic potential. This body of collaborative research provides proof-of-concept that EID-SEARCH has the
background, collaborative network, experience, and skillset to act as a unique early warning system for
novel EIDs of any etiology threatening to emerge in this hottest of the EID hotspots.

1. Significance: Southeast Asia is a critical hotspot for emerging diseases due to its high biodiversity of
wildlife and their viruses, and the presence of key ecological and socioeconomic drivers of emergence (Fig. 1)
(1). These include dense human populations living in networks of rural and urban communities, with strong
cultural and occupational connection to wildlife and livestock farming and trading, and intimate connection to
global travel networks (2). The region is undergoing rapid environmental and demographic change, both of
which increase the risk of disease emergence and spread. Pathogens that emerge in this region often spread
and sometimes enter the USA (e.g. prior influenza pandemics, SARS) and threaten global health security.

Thailand and Malaysia are hotspots of risk for
disease emergence (left), and predicted high
diversity of 'missing' or as-yet undiscovered viruses,
yellow = highest diversity (left). From ( 1-3).
Not surprisingly novel viruses, including nearneighbors of known agents, have emerged in
the region leading to often unusual clinical
presentations (Table 1).This adds to a significant background burden of repeated Dengue virus outbreaks in
the region (20), and over 30 known Flavivirus species circulating throughout S. and SE Asia (21). The events
in Table 1 are dominated by three viral families: coronaviruses (CoVs), paramyxoviruses {PMVs - particularly
henipaviruses) and filoviruses (FVs), which are initial examples of our team's research focus and capabilities.
These viral groups have led to globally important emerging zoonoses (4, 5, 22-31), causing tens of thousands
of deaths, and costing billions of dollars (32-34). Furthermore, near-neighbors of known pathogens in these
families have been reported throughout the region, including by members of our consortium: henipaviruses in
bats in Thailand, Cambodia, Philippines, Laos, Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Bangladesh and India (35-41); a
novel henipavirus, Mojiang virus, in wild rats in Yunnan (14); serological evidence of FVs in bats in Bangladesh

novel B-CoVs (52 novel SARSr-CoVs) and a new B-CoV clade ("lineage E") in bats in S. China that occur
throughout the region (24, 49, 51, 52); 9 novel wildlife-origin CoVs and 27 PMVs in Thailand, and 9 novel CoVs
in Malaysia reported by us from USAID-PREDICT funding (51, 53). These discoveries underscore the clear
and present danger of zoonotic events in the region. The wide diversity of potentially pathogenic viral strains
also has significant potential use in broadly active vaccine, immunotherapeutic and drug development (49).
Most high-impact zoonotic viruses originate in wildlife reservoirs, sometimes spilling over first into livestock
'amplifier' hosts. or directly into localized human populations with high levels of animal contact (Fig. 2). Efforts
to prevent emerging zoonoses have targeted these high-risk populations in regions prone to disease
emergence (31, 54). However, these regions tend to be in the developing world, where nations often lack the
resources to investigate novel zoonotic events, or wildlife reservoirs of zoonoses, and prioritize more
immediate public health concerns such as Dengue virus or NTDs (20). Zoonotic disease surveillance and
control is also hampered by inadequate information on basic disease ecology (e.g. range of wildlife reservoirs,
risk factors for spillover) and pathogen biology (viral diversity, pathogenesis), and by logistical challenges
sharing novel diagnostics, animal models, samples and reagents at sites where outbreaks begin (55).
Countermeasure and vaccine development is challenged by the small number of isolates available, and the
presence of closely-related strains. some with evidence of transmission to people but with unknown
pathogenicity. For example, using NIH and other funding, we found serological evidence of exposure to African
henipaviruses in 3-4% of a sample of people in Cameroon, with a significant risk factor being butchering of
bats; and serological responses to bat SARSr-CoVs in 6/209 (2.87%) and bat HKU10-CoV in 2/412 (0.5%)
people living close to a bat cave in Yunnan, all novel viruses with unknown clinical impact (16, 56). We
discovered two novel bat-borne reoviruses, Melaka and Pulau viruses, and showed that 14/109 (13%) of
people living in close proximity to bat roosts on Tioman Island, Malaysia were exposed to these viruses (7) as
well as 12/856 ( 1.4 % ) of a random sample screened in Singapore ( 8). Previous studies in the Philippines found
famers and butchers who had contact with sick pigs tested positive for Reston ebolavirus antibodies but had
not experienced illness ( 11). and it was our team that discovered Philippine bats as natural reservoir hosts for
Reston virus (57). In preliminary screening in Malaysia with funding from DTRA we found serological evidence
of exposure to henipaviruses (Hendra, Nipah and Cedar) in 14 bats and 6 human samples, and Ebola (Zaire
and Sudan)-related viruses in 11 bats, 2 non-human primates (NHP) and 3 human samples (Hughes, in prep.).

Even when spillover leads to outbreaks of illness and mortality, they are often
unreported, undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. We initiated targeted syndromic
surveillance of encephalitis patients in Bangladesh clinics and showed that Nipah
virus (NiV) causes repeated annual outbreaks with an overall mortality rate of
-70% (58). NiV has been reported in people in West Bengal, India, which
borders Bangladesh (28), in bats in Central North India (59), and now in people
in Kerala, South India in 2018 and 2019, raising the specter of future spillover at
other sites in the region ( 18, 60).
Fig. 2: Our Early Warning Approach: Most zoonotic viruses emerge from wildlife hosts,
sometimes via livestock (lower panel), to cause small scale outbreaks (green) or larger
chains (red} of human-to-human transmission (middle). In some cases, these spread
more widely via air travel (upper). Our EIDRC proposal targets each stage: SA 1
examines the diversity and spillover potential of viral threats in targeted SE Asian wildlife;
SA2 seeks evidence of their spillover into focused high-risk human populations; SA3
identifies their capacity to cause illness and to spread more widely. Figure from (54).
Under a current N IAI D R01, we have shown that we can use analytical approaches to target surveillance of
wildlife and people and identify likely sites of spillover. We used phylogenetic analysis of bat hosts and their
CoVs to identify a key cave complex in SW Yunnan Province that harbors all the genetic elements of SARSCoV (61), as well as a series of SARSr-CoVs that can infect human cells in vitro, cause SARS-like clinical
signs in humanized mice, and evade vaccine treatment and therapeutics (24, 49, 51, 52, 62-64). We
conducted risk factor surveys and biological sampling of human populations living close to this cave and found
serological evidence of spillover in people highly exposed to wildlife (16). This work provides proof-of2

novel B-CoVs (52 novel SARSr-CoVs) and a new B-CoV clade ("lineage E") in bats in S. China that occur
throughout the region (24, 49, 51, 52); 9 novel wildlife-origin CoVs and 27 PMVs in Thailand, and 9 novel CoVs
in Malaysia reported by us from USAID-PREDICT funding (51, 53). These discoveries underscore the clear
and present danger of zoonotic events in the region. The wide diversity of potentially pathogenic viral strains
also has significant potential use in broadly active vaccine, immunotherapeutic and drug development (49).
Most high-impact zoonotic viruses originate in wildlife reservoirs, sometimes spilling over first into livestock
'amplifier' hosts. or directly into localized human populations with high levels of animal contact (Fig. 2). Efforts
to prevent emerging zoonoses have targeted these high-risk populations in regions prone to disease
emergence (31, 54). However, these regions tend to be in the developing world, where nations often lack the
resources to investigate novel zoonotic events, or wildlife reservoirs of zoonoses, and prioritize more
immediate public health concerns such as Dengue virus or NTDs (20). Zoonotic disease surveillance and
control is also hampered by inadequate information on basic disease ecology (e.g. range of wildlife reservoirs,
risk factors for spillover) and pathogen biology (viral diversity, pathogenesis), and by logistical challenges
sharing novel diagnostics, animal models, samples and reagents at sites where outbreaks begin (55).
Countermeasure and vaccine development is challenged by the small number of isolates available, and the
presence of closely-related strains. some with evidence of transmission to people but with unknown
pathogenicity. For example, using NIH and other funding, we found serological evidence of exposure to African
henipaviruses in 3-4% of a sample of people in Cameroon, with a significant risk factor being butchering of
bats; and serological responses to bat SARSr-CoVs in 6/209 (2.87%) and bat HKU10-CoV in 2/412 (0.5%)
people living close to a bat cave in Yunnan, all novel viruses with unknown clinical impact (16, 56). We

concept for an early warning approach that we will expand in this EIDRC to target other viral groups in
one of the world's most high-risk EID hotspots.
The overall premise of this EIDRC proposal is that there is substantial evidence that: 1) diverse CoVs,
henipaviruses and FVs related to known human pathogens are circulating in wildlife reservoirs in Southeast
Asia; 2) these viruses likely spillover regularly to people, are often unreported or misdiagnosed, and their
clinical manifestations and potential to cause pandemics are unknown and underestimated; and 3) our strategy
for targeted surveillance and detection of spillover and illness in at-risk human populations can be used as an
'early warning system' to conduct public health interventions and disrupt disease emergence. To scale-up this
approach, we propose to launch EID-SEARCH (the gmerging !nfectious Diseases - §outh gast Asia Research
Collaboration f::!ub ), to better understand, and respond to, the risk of zoonotic viral emergence in Southeast
Asia. We will initially focus on the diversity of known and novel CoVs, henipaviruses, and FVs in wildlife
reservoirs. We will use this work to build our center's interactive network throughout the region, bridge barriers,
provide early focal point for basic and translational studies, develop sample handling and storage routines,
communication networks, cohort management, infrastructure development, and cross-training in surveillance
and novel diagnostic platforms. We will develop and transfer technology to test these viruses' capacity to infect
human cells and mouse models, develop new specific and sensitive serological and molecular diagnostic tools,
conduct surveillance of human communities with high risk of exposure to wildlife, and clinical cohorts to identify
evidence of spillover of viruses causing previously 'cryptic' clinical syndromes in people. We will test the
capacity of novel viruses to infect human cells and/or mouse models, and thus asses potential for spillover and
spread which will feed into our risk models. Our group also has extensive experience in other viruses, including
vector-borne flaviviruses, and alphaviruses, and will use this experience to provide robust long-term
surveillance, diagnostics, and basic science opportunities. While the current proposal focuses its basic and
applied research agendas on this group of viral EID, we note that the EID-SEARCH is poised to rapidly
respond to any outbreak. Thus, FVs, henipaviruses and Co Vs are examples of sentinel surveillance
systems in place that illustrate EID-SEARCH's capacity to identify and initiate a rapid response
targeting any novel microbial pathogen that emerges in this region.
2. Innovation: Previous work by our consortium has developed strategies to target surveillance in wildlife and
people to better anticipate and identify early spillover events and pre-empt outbreaks of emerging viruses. In
the EID-SEARCH we scale up this approach in a central research "hub" made up of leading laboratories,
clinics and surveillance sites in three critically high-risk EID hotspot countries in SE Asia. EID-SEARCH's reach
is expanded through its regional network of collaborators that covers nearly all of the greater SE Asia region.
The innovation of the EID-SEARCH is in: 1) Its multidisciplinary approach that combines modeling to target
geographic and taxonomic sampling targets with on-the-ground zoonotic disease surveillance in human and
wildlife populations; 2) the biological characterization approach that identifies how likely viruses are to be able
to infect people, and enables evaluation of existing countermeasure technologies; an approach that is
grounded in our successful work on SARSr-CoVs; and 3) the strategic sampling of both high-risk communities
with extensive animal contact at the front-lines of viral spillover and syndromic clinical cohorts that present with
signs of novel viral emergence, to identify risk of viral spillover in an early warning system approach (Fig. 2). In
Aim 1, we will target viruses in archived and newly collected wildlife samples, and characterize their
risk of spillover to people. We will use spatial and phylogeographic analyses to identify the geography and
species of wildlife to test samples from, and to further characterize viruses we have recently discovered. We
will use in silica methods (novel ecological-phylogenetic risk ranking and mapping of receptor binding
domains), cell culture, and animal models to assess their potential for spillover into high-risk human
populations. In Aim 2, we will conduct targeted cross-sectional serological surveys of human
communities with high levels of animal contact to find evidence of viral spillover, and identify
occupational and other risk factors for zoonotic virus transmission. We will use serological tests targeting
viruses identified in Aim 1 to identify the baseline spillover of known or novel CoVs, henipaviruses and FVs in
these populations. Serological findings will be analyzed together with subject metadata (including a simple
animal-contact survey, location data, viral sequence/isolates etc.) to identify zoonotic risk factors and routes of
exposure from specific wildlife or vector species. In Aim 3, we will use syndromic surveillance of clinical
human cohorts to identify evidence of viral etiology for otherwise 'cryptic' outbreaks. We will enroll and

collect biological samples from patients in local clinics and hospitals who present with syndromes previously
linked to known viral agents and live within communities at high risk for disease emergence. We will conduct
molecular and follow-up serological diagnostic assays to identify likely viral etiology of syndromes that may
represent otherwise cryptic events. Where viruses are identified, we will attempt to isolate or molecularly rederive them, and use survey data, ecological and phylogenetic analysis to identify likely reservoir hosts and
inform intervention programs. Our US partner BSL-4 laboratory, NEIDL, will attempt isolation and
characterization of viruses requiring BSL-4 of containment (e.g. novel filoviruses, close relatives of Hev/NiV).
3. Approach: 3.1. Research team: The EID-SEARCH builds on long-term collaboration among world leaders
in emerging virus research with proven experience collaborating internationally on field, lab and human
surveillance research (Fig. 3). Over the past two decades, our consortium partners have conducted high profile
research on EIDs within the region and globally, including identifying the wildlife reservoirs for NiV and Hendra
virus (HeV), MERS- and SARS-CoVs (24, 27, 59, 61, 65-67), discovering SADS-CoV (17), and developing an
array of serological, molecular, in vitro and in vivo approaches to characterizing high-risk CoVs, henipaviruses,
and FVs (62-64, 68-81). Our team has substantial experience conducting human surveillance in the community
and during outbreaks (Sections 2.2.a., 2.2.b., 2.2.c, 3.2.a, 3.2.b), including: USAID-PREDICT, and DTRAfunded viral surveillance of indigenous communities in Peninsular Malaysia and syndromic surveillance of
hospital patients in Sabah (Co-I Hughes); collection of >2,000 serum samples from healthy blood donors and
sanitation workers, febrile and influenza like illness (ILi), and diarrheal stool samples from children under 5

3.2. Geographical focus: The three core (hub) countries for this proposed EIDRC are Thailand, Malaysia and
Singapore, three contiguous EID hotspot countries that stretch through one of the most significant foci of EID
origins globally. Our proposed work includes sampling wildlife and people in Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia,
Sarawak and Sabah, and thus contains overlapping wildlife biogeography with India, Bangladesh, Myanmar,
SW China, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines, and Indonesia. It encompasses diverse cultural and
socioeconomic backgrounds which have correspondingly diverse and intensive interactions with wildlife
reservoirs and the global travel network. We have already begun sampling of wildlife hunters, livestock
workers, wildlife farmers and market workers, rural villagers living close to high risk wildlife species, people
otherwise highly exposed to animals in these countries, and clinical cohorts, as part of current/prior NIH,
DTRA, and USAID funding. Our core member's extensive network of collaborators in clinics, research institutes
and public health laboratories in almost every other Southeast Asian country positions the EID-SEARCH within
a much larger catchment area for emerging zoonoses and will allow us to rapidly scale up to include additional
sites in response to an outbreak or shift in research priorities. We will conduct regular meetings with key
research, public health and community leaders, including >50 leading laboratories/institutions in 10 countries
(Section 4.2) to maintain these collaborative relationships with the core members of our consortium (Fig. 4 ).

We will use these, and our annual meetings, to share information
on novel research and diagnostic approaches, pathogens that are
of key pandemic potential, regions or populations at high risk of
spillover, and information from the greater network on likely
outbreaks of novel disease. This platform will coordinate sample
sharing and diagnostic platforms and help build a rapid response
to outbreaks across the region.

proposed EIDRC (Red: Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia) and countries in
which Key Personnel have existing collaborating partners via other
funded work (Green), indicating that EID-SEARCH provides access to
key collaborators and sites throughout the region.
3.3. Capacity for linkage with other NIAID studies, and
scaling up to respond to outbreaks: EID-SEARCH US-based partners include senior scientists with
significant experience on NIAID-funded projects, extensive collaborations with other NIAID-funded scientists,
and previous experience working with NIAID leadership through workshops, review of programs (e.g. Pl
Daszak's role in NIAID CEIRS external review), and work on study sections. These contacts ensure that the
EID-SEARCH senior leadership will be ready and able to rapidly set up data, sample and reagent/assay
sharing protocols with NIAID researchers, the other EIDRCs, the EIDRC CC and other NIAID research centers.
EID-SEARCH in-country partners include senior medical doctors and infectious disease specialists at national
and regional hospitals in each country and administrative state in this proposal. On news of potential
outbreaks, EID-SEARCH will rapidly mobilize its core staff and their extensive collaborative network
across almost all SE Asian countries (Fig. 4) (Sections 4.1.a, 4.2. 4.3). The core analytical approach can
be used to rapidly identify sampling sites and targets to harvest vectors, vector borne arboviruses, birds and
mammalian species that harbor most other viral threats. Through existing projects such as the USAID
PREDICT Project and DTRA-funded biosurveillance projects, EHA is currently partnered with hospitals and
researchers across South and Western Asia. West and Central Africa, and Latin America. Our partners already
have capacity to conduct human and wildlife sampling and testing for novel viral agents, so expanding in
geography or scale is readily achievable given sufficient resources.
Aim 1: Identify, characterize and rank spillover risk of high zoonotic potential viruses from wildlife.
1.1 Rationale/Innovation: The vast majority of emerging zoonotic pathogens are linked directly or indirectly to
wildlife host, particularly from important mammalian groups like bats, rodents and NHPs (3). Our previous work
on wildlife origin viruses demonstrates that zoonotic viral emergence tends to occur in specific regions with
high diversity of wildlife that harbor viruses of zoonotic potential, and human populations that have close
contact to these wildlife (Fig. 1) (2, 3). In Aim 1 (see Fig. 9 for overview), we will strategically conduct EID

3.2. Geographical focus: The three core (hub) countries for this proposed EIDRC are Thailand, Malaysia and
Singapore, three contiguous EID hotspot countries that stretch through one of the most significant foci of EID
origins globally. Our proposed work includes sampling wildlife and people in Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia,
Sarawak and Sabah, and thus contains overlapping wildlife biogeography with India, Bangladesh, Myanmar,
SW China, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines, and Indonesia. It encompasses diverse cultural and
socioeconomic backgrounds which have correspondingly diverse and intensive interactions with wildlife
reservoirs and the global travel network. We have already begun sampling of wildlife hunters, livestock
workers, wildlife farmers and market workers, rural villagers living close to high risk wildlife species, people
otherwise highly exposed to animals in these countries, and clinical cohorts, as part of current/prior NIH,
DTRA, and USAID funding. Our core member's extensive network of collaborators in clinics, research institutes
and public health laboratories in almost every other Southeast Asian country positions the EID-SEARCH within
a much larger catchment area for emerging zoonoses and will allow us to rapidly scale up to include additional
sites in response to an outbreak or shift in research priorities. We will conduct regular meetings with key
research, public health and community leaders, including >50 leading laboratories/institutions in 10 countries
(Section 4.2) to maintain these collaborative relationships with the core members of our consortium (Fig. 4 ).

We will use these, and our annual meetings, to share information
on novel research and diagnostic approaches, pathogens that are
of key pandemic potential, regions or populations at high risk of
spillover, and information from the greater network on likely
outbreaks of novel disease. This platform will coordinate sample
sharing and diagnostic platforms and help build a rapid response
to outbreaks across the region.

proposed EIDRC (Red: Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia) and countries in
which Key Personnel have existing collaborating partners via other
funded work (Green), indicating that EID-SEARCH provides access to
key collaborators and sites throughout the region.
3.3. Capacity for linkage with other NIAID studies, and
scaling up to respond to outbreaks: EID-SEARCH US-based partners include senior scientists with
significant experience on NIAID-funded projects, extensive collaborations with other NIAID-funded scientists,
and previous experience working with NIAID leadership through workshops, review of programs (e.g. Pl
Daszak's role in NIAID CEIRS external review), and work on study sections. These contacts ensure that the
EID-SEARCH senior leadership will be ready and able to rapidly set up data, sample and reagent/assay
sharing protocols with NIAID researchers, the other EIDRCs, the EIDRC CC and other NIAID research centers.
EID-SEARCH in-country partners include senior medical doctors and infectious disease specialists at national
and regional hospitals in each country and administrative state in this proposal. On news of potential
outbreaks, EID-SEARCH will rapidly mobilize its core staff and their extensive collaborative network
across almost all SE Asian countries (Fig. 4) (Sections 4.1.a, 4.2. 4.3). The core analytical approach can
be used to rapidly identify sampling sites and targets to harvest vectors, vector borne arboviruses, birds and
mammalian species that harbor most other viral threats. Through existing projects such as the USAID
PREDICT Project and DTRA-funded biosurveillance projects, EHA is currently partnered with hospitals and

surveillance by applying risk analytics to prioritize the regions, wildlife species, and human populations that
have a particularly high risk of viral spillover. We will target high-risk zoonotic host reservoirs (bats, rodents and
NHPs) in these regions and apply novel predictive models to estimate viral diversity and host range to identify
wildlife species that have been ignored or under-sampled by previous zoonotic disease surveillance efforts. We
will strategically collect specimens from these species and screen them, together with some of the tens of
thousands of recently collected samples we have archived, for known and novel agents. We will begin
screening using conserved PCR assays to identify known and novel viruses in high risk RNA viral families,
Coronaviridae, Paramyxoviridae, and Fitoviridae. We will expand to other groups of pathogens, including
arboviruses, pending available resources and priorities established with the EIDRC coordinating center
(EIDRC-CC) and other regional EIDRCs. Using risk ranking algorithms and a series of ecological and
virological risk factors, we will triage the wildlife viruses we discover for further genomic characterization and
viral isolation. On this subset of viruses, we will then use in vitro and in vivo approaches (viral rescue, cell lines,
gene edited humanized transgenic mice and the collaborative cross genetic reference mouse population)
previously developed and widely used by our team to predict capacity of novel viruses to infect people and
spillover (63, 85-88). These high-risk viruses and their close relatives will be targets for human community
serosurveys and clinical sampling in Aims 2 and 3. respectively.
1.2 Preliminary data: 1.2.a. Geographic targeting: EHA has led the field in analyzing where the highest risk
of zoonotic spillover is across the globe, identifying SE Asia as a major EID hotspot (1, 2). These hotspots are
sites where high wildlife biodiversity, human population density and rapid ecologic change collide (Fig 1).
Using host and ICTV viral data for all known mammalian viruses, and generalized additive models to correct
for sampling bias, we are able to predict the relative number of yet-to-be-described viruses that a species
harbors (3). This demonstrates substantial undiscovered viral diversity in mammals across Southeast Asia,
and particularly in regions of Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia (Fig. 1). Separately, we found that factors
driving spillover (host diversity, climate) differ from those driving spread in human populations (population
density, bushmeat hunting, livestock production) (89). We therefore analyze capacity for viral spread as a
separate risk factor, using our unique demographic and air travel and flight data modeling software (90, 91). In
the current proposed work, we will use all the above approaches to target wildlife sampling (archival and new
field collections) in Aim 1, to inform sites for human sampling in Aim 2, and to assess risk of spread in Aim 3.
1.2.b. Reservoir host species targeting: Our analysis of all known mammalian host-viral associations
demonstrates that bats, rodents and NHPs represent the three most important reservoirs for zoonoses,
responsible for the highest proportion of known and predicted viral diversity of zoonotic potential (3). Thus, the
bulk of our proposed wildlife sampling and testing will consist of these three taxa with a focus on bats, because
this group is the known or hypothesized reservoir for the majority of high-impact zoonotic CoVs, PMVs and
FVs (50, 92-94). Bats have the highest proportion of predicted zoonotic viruses in any mammalian group (2),
and are exceedingly diverse in Southeast Asia (~500 species). To further prioritize taxonomic sampling targets
within these diverse geographic hotspots, we used a novel Bayesian phylogeographic algorithm to identify host
genera and species that are the most important centers of evolutionary diversity for a given viral group, e.g. bat
genera for 13-CoVs (Fig. 5) (51). This approach will be extended to other mammal taxa and viral families of
Hipposld•ro• interest. allowing us to identify the reservoir hosts of specific zoonotic viral
vespor1;110 groups, where viral diversity is likely highest.

rates, we can identify the likely total viral diversity for specific host groups in a region, and use this to estimate

and rodents from Thailand and Malaysia, using data from PCR
screening and RdRp sequences from >10,000 specimens in
bats and 4,500 in rodents. Bats have 4X more viral species
than rodents, controlling for sampling effort. We estimate that
additional collection of 5k-9k bat specimens and testing of our
archived bat and rodent specimens alone will identify >80% of
remaining CoV and PMV viral species in these key reservoirs,
yielding >800 unique viral strains.
1.2.c. Sample testing to identify known and novel viruses: We have conducted extensive wildlife
surveillance for novel viruses across Southeast Asia in prior NIAID funded work and as part of the USAID
PREDICT project. Under the 10-year PREDICT program globally, we identified 912 novel and 210 known
viruses, more than the total number of viruses previously recognized in mammals by the ICTV (97). This work
included collecting nearly 300,000 individual mammal samples from 14 EHA-led PREDICT countries, and
PCR-screening of more than 60,000 individual specimens (53). In southern China alone, we identified 178 13-
CoVs, of which 172 were novel, discovered a new 13-CoV clade, "lineage E" (41 ), diverse HKU3r-CoVs (179
sequences) within a 'sister' clade to the SARS-CoV lineage, and a new bat-origin SADS-CoV, responsible for
killing >25,000 pigs in Guangdong Province (17). We have collected 28,957 samples from bats, rodents and
NHPs in Thailand and 47,178 in Malaysia, but have only tested a minority of these using PCR. We have
identified 100 novel viruses in Thailand and 77 in Malaysia. Furthermore, we have only sequenced a small
segment of one gene for all novel viruses found. We have archived duplicate samples which are now
available for use in this project, including fecal, oral, urogenital, serum samples, and biopsies from bats,
rodents, and NHPs. In the current proposed work, we will attempt to sequence, isolate and characterize those
viruses that our analyses below suggest are most likely to be able to infect humans.
1.2.d. In vitro & in vivo characterization of viral potential for human infection: Using Coronaviridae as an
example, we have conducted in vitro and in vivo experiments to characterize the pathogenic potential of novel
SARSr-CoVs from bats. We isolated three SARSr-CoVs from bat feces: WIV1, WIV16 and Rs487 4, with Spike
(S) protein sequences that diverged from SARS-CoV by 3-7% (24, 61, 98). We conducted full-length genome
sequencing of 12 other novel SARSr-CoVs, some highly similar to outbreak SARS-CoV in the most variable
genes (61). Using our reverse genetics system we constructed chimeric viruses and rederived full length
recombinant SARSr-CoV from in silco sequence. All 3 SARSr-CoV full length isolates and the two chimeric
viruses replicated efficiently in Vero E6 cells and in Hela cells expressing hACE2, civet and bat ACE2, but not
in those without ACE2 (24, 61, 98). We used the SARS-CoV reverse genetics system (72) to generate a
chimeric virus with a mouse-adapted SARS-CoV backbone expressing SHC014 S protein with 10% sequence
divergence from SARS-CoV S. This and the other full length and chimera viruses replicated in primary human
airway epithelium, using the human ACE2 receptor to enter into cells (62). Thus, SARSr-CoVs with diverse
variants of SL-CoV S protein without deletions in their RBD can use human ACE2 as receptor for cell
entry. The Barie lab has a well-established hACE2 and DPP4 transgenic mouse model that we used to
assess the capacity of novel SARSr-CoVs and MERS-CoV to infect humans and cause disease (85, 99).
Infection of bat SARSr-SHC014 or WIV1 caused SARS-like clinical signs in the transgenic hACE2 mouse
model that weren't reduced by immune-therapeutic monoclonals that attenuate SARS-CoV
pathogenicity, nor after challenge following vaccination against SARS-CoV (62) (Fig. 7). We repeated

A similar approach to the above pipeline for CoVs will be applied to novel henipaviruses we discover during our
research. The broad mammalian tropism of HeV and NiV (68) is likely mediated by their usage of highly
conserved ephrin ligands for cell entry (19, 100). A third isolated henipavirus, Cedar virus does not cause
pathogenesis in animal models. Co-ls Broder and Laing have developed a reverse genetics system and
rescued a recombinant CedV to test ephrin receptor usage/tropism and pathogenicity during henipavirus
infections (77). CedV is unable to use the Ephrin-B3 receptor (77, 101) which is found in spinal cord and may
underlie NiV encephalitis (102) and that pathogenesis also involves virulence factors V and W proteins. The
putative henipaviruses, Ghana virus and M6Jiang virus, predict V and W protein expression, with GhV able to
bind to ephrin-B2, but not -B2 (103), and the receptor for MoJV remains unknown (104) but is likely ephrin-B2
( 105). Our group has also used similar methods to test the hypothesis that novel Filoviruses discovered in
wildlife are able to infect people. NiV, EBOV and MERS-CoV all infect primary microvascular endothelial cells,
which are available at Co-I Baric's lab for EID-SEARCH collaborators (71, 106). Primary human lung
endothelial cells are highly susceptible to Ebolavirus infection (107), and Huh? cells can be used to isolate
virus from clinical samples (108) offering advantages for reverse genetic recovery of novel FVs (109). The
three filovirus genera, Ebola virus, Marburgvirus and Cuevavirus, use Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) protein as
cell entry receptor (110). For novel filoviruses, cell culture would be carried out under BSL-4, however they can
readily be characterized following identification of their encoded GP sequences which can be pseudotyped into
recombinant GP-bearing vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) pseudovirions ( 111 ). These pseudovirions can be
safely used to characterize the tropism and entry filoviruses mediated by GP without a need for BSL4
containment. Co-ls Wang and Anderson used cells originating from various mammalian species to determine
spillover and/or zoonotic potential of MLAV, a newly discovered Asian filovirus (47). Despite the low amino acid
sequence identity (22-39%) of the glycoprotein with other filoviruses, MLAV is capable of using NPC1 as entry
receptor. Cells from humans, monkeys, dogs, hamsters and bats were able to be infected with a MLAV
pseudovirus, implying a broad species cell tropism with a high risk of interspecies spillover transmission.
Mouse models. For novel viruses across all families, we will use the UNC collaborative cross mouse that
captures 90% of the diversity within all mouse groups to assess the most suitable model for further
experiments ( 112). We have used this model for CoV, FV (Ebola), Flaviviruses, and alphaviruses infections.
Clinical signs such as weight loss, hemorrhage, encephalitis, and, acute or chronic arthritis were recapitulated
in these mice following SARS, EBOV, West Nile virus and Chikungunya infections, respectively (86-88, 113-
116). Note that CC OR3015 shows hemorrhagic disease phenotypes after EBOV infection (Fig. 8). Bat
Models. Duke-NUS has developed two models for bat in vivo studies: a colony of Eonycteris spetaea (cave
A _,.,, 0 ......,.., dwelling small fruit bat) and a bat mouse model, which contains the bat
immune system in an immunodeficient mouse ( 117). In a proof of concept
study, Co-ls Wang and Anderson infected E. spelaea bats with MERSCoV to demonstrate their susceptibility and suitability for infection with a
bat borne virus under BSL3 containment. These bats and the bat mouse
model will serve to complement and expand studies from the UNC
collaborative cross mouse, pending further funding from EIDRC CC.
Recombinant viruses, transgenic mouse models and experimental
recombinant protein constructs described above will be made available to
the EID-SEARCH consortium and other EIDRCs following standard
procedures (see Resource Sharing Plan).

recent projects and stored in freezers in our laboratories, and new sampling of wildlife in high risk locales. We
will use viral family level PCR assays to identify and partially characterize viruses, then follow up sequencing of
relevant receptor binding proteins to assess homology and predict binding affinity, then attempt to isolate and

infections (77). CedV is unable to use the Ephrin-B3 receptor (77, 101) which is found in spinal cord and may
underlie NiV encephalitis (102) and that pathogenesis also involves virulence factors V and W proteins. The
putative henipaviruses, Ghana virus and M6Jiang virus, predict V and W protein expression, with GhV able to
bind to ephrin-B2, but not -B2 (103), and the receptor for MoJV remains unknown (104) but is likely ephrin-B2
( 105). Our group has also used similar methods to test the hypothesis that novel Filoviruses discovered in
wildlife are able to infect people. NiV, EBOV and MERS-CoV all infect primary microvascular endothelial cells,
which are available at Co-I Baric's lab for EID-SEARCH collaborators (71, 106). Primary human lung
endothelial cells are highly susceptible to Ebolavirus infection (107), and Huh? cells can be used to isolate
virus from clinical samples (108) offering advantages for reverse genetic recovery of novel FVs (109). The
three filovirus genera, Ebola virus, Marburgvirus and Cuevavirus, use Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) protein as
cell entry receptor (110). For novel filoviruses, cell culture would be carried out under BSL-4, however they can
readily be characterized following identification of their encoded GP sequences which can be pseudotyped into
recombinant GP-bearing vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) pseudovirions ( 111 ). These pseudovirions can be
safely used to characterize the tropism and entry filoviruses mediated by GP without a need for BSL4
containment. Co-ls Wang and Anderson used cells originating from various mammalian species to determine
spillover and/or zoonotic potential of MLAV, a newly discovered Asian filovirus (47). Despite the low amino acid
sequence identity (22-39%) of the glycoprotein with other filoviruses, MLAV is capable of using NPC1 as entry
receptor. Cells from humans, monkeys, dogs, hamsters and bats were able to be infected with a MLAV
pseudovirus, implying a broad species cell tropism with a high risk of interspecies spillover transmission.
Mouse models. For novel viruses across all families, we will use the UNC collaborative cross mouse that
captures 90% of the diversity within all mouse groups to assess the most suitable model for further
experiments ( 112). We have used this model for CoV, FV (Ebola), Flaviviruses, and alphaviruses infections.
Clinical signs such as weight loss, hemorrhage, encephalitis, and, acute or chronic arthritis were recapitulated
in these mice following SARS, EBOV, West Nile virus and Chikungunya infections, respectively (86-88, 113-
116). Note that CC OR3015 shows hemorrhagic disease phenotypes after EBOV infection (Fig. 8). Bat
Models. Duke-NUS has developed two models for bat in vivo studies: a colony of Eonycteris spetaea (cave
A _,.,, 0 ......,.., dwelling small fruit bat) and a bat mouse model, which contains the bat
immune system in an immunodeficient mouse ( 117). In a proof of concept
study, Co-ls Wang and Anderson infected E. spelaea bats with MERSCoV to demonstrate their susceptibility and suitability for infection with a
bat borne virus under BSL3 containment. These bats and the bat mouse
model will serve to complement and expand studies from the UNC
collaborative cross mouse, pending further funding from EIDRC CC.
Recombinant viruses, transgenic mouse models and experimental
recombinant protein constructs described above will be made available to
the EID-SEARCH consortium and other EIDRCs following standard
procedures (see Resource Sharing Plan).

samples from wild mammals that are most likely to harbor known high-profile zoonotic pathogens. or close
relatives with potential to infect people. This includes selecting from tens of thousands of samples collected on
recent projects and stored in freezers in our laboratories, and new sampling of wildlife in high risk locales. We
will use viral family level PCR assays to identify and partially characterize viruses, then follow up sequencing of
relevant receptor binding proteins to assess homology and predict binding affinity, then attempt to isolate and

targeted sampling, and data analysis; Co-ls Hughes and Wacharapluesadee will lead field sampling and incountry testing; Duke-NUS, UNC, USUS will lead the serological and PCR diagnostic development and the in
vitro and in vivo analyses, as well as cross-training and tech transfer to the hub labs in Thailand and Malaysia.

novel viruses, recover by reverse genetics, and

1.4 Wildlife samples: 1.4.a. Geographic
and taxonomic targeting for newly
collected wildlife samples: We will
■ • ~ • prioritize sites within each country that
•-----------• rank highest for both the risk of zoonotic
disease emergence (2) and the predicted number of 'missing' zoonotic viruses (3). Our preliminary analysis
(Fig. 1) suggests priority areas include: the Kra Isthmus (S. Thailand) and adjacent forests in N. Peninsular
Malaysia, NW Thailand (near the Myanmar-Laos border), and lowland rainforests of Sarawak and Sabah. In
each of these 'hottest of the hotspots' regions, we will identify 2-4 distinct sampling sites based on the
geographic distribution of key hosts we prioritize for additional wildlife sampling. We will priority rank bat,
rodent. and NHP species using host trait-based models (3). We will also identify species predicted to be
centers of evolutionary diversity for Co Vs, PMVs, and FVs using ancestral host reconstruction of available
sequence data and Bayesian discrete phylogeographic models ( 118-120). We will leverage our strong
collaborations with wildlife experts in Malaysia and Thailand, including many of whom are based at our core
partner institutions, to ground-truth geographic and taxonomic model outputs with local expert knowledge to
ensure the sampling plan is realistic based on current species distributions, population size estimates,
seasonality, and accessibility to sites. Most zoonotic viruses are naturally carried by multiple wildlife host
species, and there are strong, predictable relations between host phylogeny and viral taxonomy (3). We will
use a combined network analysis and phylogeographic model to rapidly predict and prioritize new (unsampled)
hosts for important, novel viruses we discover during our research. We have shown this relatively simple model
(using just wildlife species range overlap and phylogenetic similarity between host species) is both
generalizable to estimate host range for all mammalian and avian viruses and robust - accurately predicting
hosts 98% of the time when cross-validated using data from known viruses (121).
1.4.b. Sample size justifications for testing new and archived wildlife specimens: We calculate initial
sample sizes targets using our preliminary data on average PCR prevalence from screening tens of thousands
of bat, rodent and NHP specimens for CoV and PMVs based on previous studies in Malaysia and Thailand.
We will refine these sample size targets, in real-time, over the course of our project using viral discovery curve
analyses (Fig. 6) to either scale-up or scale-back new sampling and testing of archived specimens for each
species depending on viral capture rates. We will only collect additional specimens projected from each
prioritized taxa to achieve statistically robust sample sizes and to complement our archived specimens. For
example, Rousettus spp. bats, known FV reseNoirs, were not adequately sampled under PREDICT research
in Thailand. Preliminary analysis indicates that, for all viral target families, we will require ~14,000 new samples
to identify 80% of remaining viral species diversity in our study region, ~5,000 samples from Thailand and
~9,000 samples from Malaysia (Fig. 10). Viral strain diversity from a sampling effort this size is expected to
number in the hundreds of strains. For example, given ~6% prevalence of Co Vs in bat species previously
sampled under the PREDICT project, a target of 14,000 individuals would yield ~800 PCR positive individuals,

We will refine these sample size targets, in real-time, over the course of our project using viral discovery curve

Fig. 10: Stacked bar plot showing number of currently-archived specimens (blue)
and new specimens required (orange) to discover 80% of predicted number of CoVs
and PMV species from high-risk bat and rodent taxa in Malaysia and Thailand.
1.4.c. Sample collection, testing, viral isolation: Wildlife will be captured and sampled using previously
published techniques, by personnel wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (Tyvek suits or
dedicated long external clothing, double nitrile gloves, leather gloves, an N95 or p100 respirator, and safety
glasses) (53, 93, 95, 96, 122, 124). All samples will be placed in a vapor phase liquid nitrogen dry shipper
immediately upon collection, and then transferred to a -80C freezer once back in the lab, until testing. Viral
RNA will be extracted from bat fecal pellets/anal swabs. RNA will be aliquoted, and stored at -80C. PCR
screening will be performed with pan-coronavirus (125, 126), filovirus (127) and paramyxovirus primers (128),
in addition to virus specific primers where additional sensitivity is warranted in key viral reservoirs, i.e. Nipah
virus or MERS virus specific primers (129, 130). PCR products will be gel purified and sequenced. We will
attempt isolation on samples that contain viruses of interest (determined in Aim 1.5 below). using Vero cells
and primary cell culture from the wildlife taxonomic order (bat, rodent and NHP cell lines). Over 70 bat cell lines
are maintained at Duke-NUS from five different bat species. These include primary lung, brain, bone marrow,
heart, kidney, intestine, liver, lymph node, muscle, spleen, PBMC and ovary/testes from Eonycteris spe/aea,
Cynopterus bracyhotis, Rhinolophus Lepidus, Myotis muricola and Pteropus alecto bats. In addition we have 8
immortalized cell lines, including those derived from lungs, therefore suitable for the isolation of respiratory
viruses.
1.4.d. Moving beyond RNA viruses: To detect pathogens from other families, such as non-RNA viruses, we
will combine conserved PCR assays with NGS. We will perform either unbiased NGS, or use a pan-viral
enrichment library to sequence full-length genomes ( 131). We will conduct this work via EID-CC research
projects or as part of outbreak detection/investigation in the region from DNA viruses or other agents.
1.4.e. Sequencing Spike Glycoproteins: Based on earlier studies, our working hypothesis is that zoonotic
Co Vs, FVs and henipaviruses encode receptor binding glycoproteins that elicit efficient infection of primary or
continuous human cell lines (e.g., lung, liver, etc.) (16, 61, 62). Characterization these for SARSr-CoVs
suggest that viruses up to 10%, but not 25%, different in the spike glycoprotein use human and bat ACE2
receptors for docking and entry. Uneven sampling gaps (e.g., no strains were found with 10-25% spike
variation) prevent a thorough understanding of the transition point where the most divergent strains lose
human ACE2 receptor usage. Our viral discovery curves (Fig. 6) suggest further sampling will reveal a rich
diversity of as-yet-undiscovered SARSr-CoVs and strains of other viruses that fill in the phylogenetic tree
between currently-described viruses. In this aim we will use phylogenetic and viral discovery analysis to
specifically target bat species and regions that are under-sampled to allow sufficient power to identify and
characterize missing strain diversity for potential zoonoses. We will sequence the S proteins of novel SARSrCoVs to prioritize viruses for experimental work in Aim 3 to test this hypothesis. Likewise, we will test the
hypothesis that phylogenetic related zoonotic receptor binding protein genes of ME RS-related, Ebola-related
and NiV/HeV-related viruses will also program efficient entry via human and ortholog receptors. For all novel
virus strains, we will sequence the complete entry spike genes by amplifying overlapping fragments using
degenerate primers as shown previously (24, 61). Reverse Genetics: Full-length genomes of selected CoVs,
FVs or henipaviruses (representative across subclades) will be sequenced using NEBNext Ultra II DNA Library

Prep Kit for lllumina and sequenced on a MiSeq sequencer, PCR or Minion sequencing will be performed to fill
gaps in the genome, The full length spike gene sequences, including the amount of variation in the receptor
binding residues that bind the appropriate human receptor will be used to select strains for Aim 3 experiments.
We will sequence full length genomes of high risk strains that are antigenically distinct and escape SARS or
MERS-CoV cross neutralization, synthetically reconstruct a small subset (1-2) and evaluate growth in Vero,
BHK and Huh? cells (63, 132). From full length sequences, synthetic clones will be ordered to recover
recombinant viruses using reverse genetics as described by our groups ( 62, 63, 77, 109, 133, 134).
Recombinant virus growth will be accessed in Vero, BHK, Huh? and select bat cells and recovered viruses
used for downstream studies. Virus strain prioritization is described below.
1.5. Assessing risk for spillover. 1.5.a. Capacity to infect human cells: We will use a series of cell cultures
to assess the capacity of target viruses to enter human cells. For Co Vs, FVs and henipaviruses, we will use
primary human ciliated airway epithelial cells (HAE) and lung endothelial cell cultures derived from the lungs of
de-identified transplant recipients. HAE are highly differentiated and grown on an air-liquid interface for several
weeks prior to use (62, 63, 132). We will prepare HAE and lung endothelial cultures from three different patient
codes in triplicate in collaboration with the tissue procurement facility at the Cystic Fibrosis Center at UNC.
Cultures will be inoculated with chimeric bat SARSr-CoVs or novel FVs or henipaviruses to assess efficient
replication. At 72 hpi, cultures will be fixed for immunofluorescent staining using antisera to the SARS-CoV
conserved nucleocapsid protein (N) or to structural genes of the other viruses (64, 71). SARSr-CoVs that differ
significantly in S protein sequence (11-24 % ) from epidemic SARS-CoV yet replicate in vitro, will also be
evaluated for sensitivity to neutralization in Vero cells by PRNTS0 assays using broadly SARS-CoV cross
reactive human mAbs S227.14, S230.15, S215.17, and S109.8 (63, 135) or monoclonal antibodies targeting
the Ebola or Marburg E glycoprotein (Available through BEi), or NiV/HeV glycoproteins (136). As controls or if
antisera is not available, the S genes of novel SARSr-CoV or spike entry genes of other novel viruses under
investigation will be inserted into VEE 3526 replicon vectors (VRP3526-S), packaged and used to vaccinate
mice ( 137). Polyclonal sera against test bat-SARS virus or other spike genes will be harvested and tested for
ability to cross neutralize SARS-CoV, GD03, WIV-1, SHC014, WIV-16, other novel SARSr-CoV and HKU3-
SRBD by PRNTS0 assay (63, 138, 139). Using PRNTS0 titers with sera (n=4 each) among these viruses,
antigenic cartography (140) will allow comparison of antigenic vs. phylogenetic distance, identifying the
transition at which SARSr-CoV strains escape SARS-CoV based vaccines, informing immunotherapeutic and
vaccine design strategies (141-143). Similar approaches will be applied to novel MERS-related viruses, other
CoV, FVs or henipaviruses. While most wildlife-origin viruses with unknown transmission potential or
pathogenicity in people uncategorized, we use BSL-3 for isolation as standard, and cell culture for potentially
BSL-4 pathogens will be undertaken at collaborating institute NEIDL. To facilitate this, duplicate samples in
culture medium from animals PCR +ve for FVs and very close relatives of NiV or HeV will be shipped to NEIDL
(See letter of support) for culture, characterization and sharing with other approved agencies including NIH
Rocky Mountain Laboratories where Pl Daszak and Co-ls Barie have ongoing collaborations. Similarly, some
duplicate samples of animals PCR +ve for CoVs will be shipped to UNC for further characterization by Co-I
Barie. Where feasible and appropriate, training opportunities at NEIDL and UNC for in-country staff will be
given, thereby enriching hands-on collaboration across sites.
1.5.b. Host ACE2, DPPR, Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) and EphrinB2/EphrinB3 receptors: We will sequence
relevant host receptors for select mammalian wildlife species we find positive for strains of high-priority CoV
clades, and all new henipaviruses and FVs. Of particular interest is homology across 18 bat and human
orthologue ACE2 contact interface residues that engage the SARS RBD as a potential indicator of SARSr-CoV
cross species transmission potential and growth in human cells (70). Likewise, variation in the NPC1 receptor
has been shown to alter EBOV ability to infect in humans and bats, so this can be structurally mapped for
prediction and downselection of strains (144). Signatures of positive selection in bat NPC1 were concentrated
at the virus-receptor interface, with the strongest signal at the same residue that controls EBOV infection in
Eidolon helvum cells. Thus NPC1 is a genetic determinant of FV susceptibility in bats, and
some NPC1 variations likely reflect host adaptations to reduce FV replication and virulence (145). NiV and HeV
use ephrin 82 or ephrin 83 as a receptor, and variation affects its ability to use human vs bat receptor
molecules (103, 146).

mice ( 137). Polyclonal sera against test bat-SARS virus or other spike genes will be harvested and tested for
ability to cross neutralize SARS-CoV, GD03, WIV-1, SHC014, WIV-16, other novel SARSr-CoV and HKU3-
SRBD by PRNTS0 assay (63, 138, 139). Using PRNTS0 titers with sera (n=4 each) among these viruses,
antigenic cartography (140) will allow comparison of antigenic vs. phylogenetic distance, identifying the
transition at which SARSr-CoV strains escape SARS-CoV based vaccines, informing immunotherapeutic and
vaccine design strategies (141-143). Similar approaches will be applied to novel MERS-related viruses, other
CoV, FVs or henipaviruses. While most wildlife-origin viruses with unknown transmission potential or
pathogenicity in people uncategorized, we use BSL-3 for isolation as standard, and cell culture for potentially
BSL-4 pathogens will be undertaken at collaborating institute NEIDL. To facilitate this, duplicate samples in
culture medium from animals PCR +ve for FVs and very close relatives of NiV or HeV will be shipped to NEIDL
(See letter of support) for culture, characterization and sharing with other approved agencies including NIH
Rocky Mountain Laboratories where Pl Daszak and Co-ls Barie have ongoing collaborations. Similarly, some
duplicate samples of animals PCR +ve for CoVs will be shipped to UNC for further characterization by Co-I
Barie. Where feasible and appropriate, training opportunities at NEIDL and UNC for in-country staff will be
given, thereby enriching hands-on collaboration across sites.
1.5.b. Host ACE2, DPPR, Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) and EphrinB2/EphrinB3 receptors: We will sequence
relevant host receptors for select mammalian wildlife species we find positive for strains of high-priority CoV
clades, and all new henipaviruses and FVs. Of particular interest is homology across 18 bat and human
orthologue ACE2 contact interface residues that engage the SARS RBD as a potential indicator of SARSr-CoV
cross species transmission potential and growth in human cells (70). Likewise, variation in the NPC1 receptor
has been shown to alter EBOV ability to infect in humans and bats, so this can be structurally mapped for
prediction and downselection of strains (144). Signatures of positive selection in bat NPC1 were concentrated
at the virus-receptor interface, with the strongest signal at the same residue that controls EBOV infection in
Eidolon helvum cells. Thus NPC1 is a genetic determinant of FV susceptibility in bats, and
some NPC1 variations likely reflect host adaptations to reduce FV replication and virulence (145). NiV and HeV
use ephrin 82 or ephrin 83 as a receptor, and variation affects its ability to use human vs bat receptor
molecules (103, 146).

1.5.c. Host-virus evolution and predicting receptor binding: We will use Bayesian and Maximum
Likelihood phylogenetic analyses of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) sequences from PCR
screening, receptor binding glycoproteins, and/or full genome sequence data (when available) to reconstruct
the evolutionary history of the novel bat SARSr-CoVs, bat MERSr-CoV, FVs and henipaviruses that we
identify. We will run co-phylogenetic analyses to map out instances of host-switching (147, 148) and ancestral
state reconstruction analyses (Fig. 4) to identify the most important species for shaping evolutionary diversity
for these viruses (51, 149), allowing for more targeted future surveillance and spillover mitigation interventions.
For receptor binding glycoprotein sequence data from characterized viruses, we will apply codon usage
analyses and codon adaptation indices, as used recently on henipaviruses ( 150), to assess the relative
contributions of natural selection and mutation pressure in shaping host adaptation and host range.
1.5.d. Viral strain prioritization: Of the expected 100-200 novel SARSr-CoV strains, and approximately 600
total CoV strains, we will down-select to prioritize for further characterization based on S genes that are: i)
different from SHC014, WIV1, SARS-CoV with diversity ranges of 10-25%; ii) have virus S RBD that could use
human/bat receptors; iii) have recombinant chimeric spikes indicative of gene flow between clade I and II
strains; iv) have bat ACE2 or DPP4 receptors that might select for spike RBDs that can use human receptors
for entry ( 15/18 conserved residues in human/bat ACE2 molecules that bind SARSs-CoV S RBD domains are
likely more efficient receptors than 3/18 conserved sites). Using structural models based on the SARS S
glycoprotein, the extent and location of antigenic variation will be annotated onto the structure, further resolving
the locations of highly evolving and conserved structural motifs/epitopes that function in protective immunity
(135, 151-153). For novel henipaviruses, we will examine the receptor-binding proteins (e.g. envelope
attachment (G) proteins) for sequence and structural homology with particular attention to conversation of
amino acids that mediate ephrin receptor binding. We will prioritize strains that are predicted to interact with
ephrin-B2 and expression V/W proteins to determine whether these viruses represent zoonotic threats. Using
the recombinant Cedar virus (rCedV) platform, we will be able to rescue rCedV that express heterotypic G
proteins to explore receptor utilization and tissue dissemination in animal models. We will assess ability to
infect human cells using a continuous lung epithelial cell line, Calu3, which our group has previously used to
generate data on NiV and HeV growth curves and a variety of host expression changes after infection (154).
We will also use primary human airway cultures and microvascular endothelial cells to assess human infection
for FVs, henipaviruses and MERSr- and SARSr-CoVs (155) (156). There is some evidence for NiV and HeV
replication in mouse lung, low level titers in young animals, 10 fold higher titers in aged mice (157, 158). Thus it
is likely these models could be improved in the collaborative cross mouse resource at UNC. We have identified
CC lines that are highly vulnerable to wildtype SARS and others that develop hemorrhagic disease following
mouse adapted Ebola infections (86-88).
1.5.e. Animal models: We will use transgenic mouse models and the UNC Collaborative Cross model to
assess spillover potential of viruses. For work on Co Vs, we will follow the protocols in the transgenic mouse
model used by the Barie lab previously. Briefly, in the BSL3 lab, 10- to 20-week old hACE2 or hDPP4
transgenic mice will be intranasally inoculated with 5 x 104 PFU of full length wildtype rbat CoV, or chimeric
SARSr-CoV or MERSr-CoV encoding different bat CoV spike proteins respectively, then monitored daily for
weight loss, morbidity, and clinical signs of disease. Mice will be euthanized at 2, 4, and 6 dpi (endpoint of 14
dpi), organs harvested and virus quantified by plaque assay or genome (mRNA 1) RT-PCR. After 7 days in
formalin, tissues for histopathology will be removed from the BSL3 and stained with H&E, and for
immunohistochemistry using polyclonal antibodies against the N protein. We will conduct limited evaluation of
existing countermeasures using therapeutic monoclonal antibodies in vitro. Existing SARSr-CoV or MERS-CoV
mAbs (159, 160) will be diluted in DMEM starting at 1 :20, and serial dilutions mixed with an equal volume of 50
PFU of chimeric bat SARSr-CoVs encoding different spike proteins and RFP indicator genes, then incubated
on Vero E6 cells at 37°C for 1 h. Antibody neutralization titers will be evaluated by plaque quantification at 4-
5dpi. In select instances, hACE2 transgenic mice will be injected with SARS-CoV mAbs, and infected with
chimeric bat SARSr-CoVs. Clinical signs and morbidity will be assessed and tissue pathology examined and
compared with mice without treatment of mAbs to determine the therapeutic effect on SARSr-CoV infection,
and protection of SARSr-CoV by wildtype SARS-S based vaccines assessed as described (132, 161). We will
sequence full length genomes of high risk strains that are antigenically distinct and escape SARS or MERS12

CoV cross neutralization, synthetically reconstruct a small subset (1-2), recover full length viruses and evaluate
the ability of nucleoside analogues to inhibit growth in HAE cultures and/or in vivo (63, 132). For the
Collaborative Cross model, we will infect six to eight mice from 6-8 Collaborative Cross mouse lines (1 0 weeks
of age) with six test viruses/yr, intransasally or by subcutaneous infection with 1 x 1 0e4 virus. Animals will be
followed for weight loss, morbidity, mortality and other clinical disease symptoms (e.g., hunching, hindleg
paralysis). One half the animals will be sacrificed at day 3 and day 7 pi. to evaluate virus growth in various
organs, and organ pathology. In highly vulnerable lines, additional experiments will be performed using more
animals, evaluating virus growth, clinical disease symptoms, respiratory pathology, tropism and organ
pathology through day 28 pi. We anticipate that some CC lines will prove highly vulnerable to select wildtype
viruses, because of host susceptibility combinations that promote severe disease outcomes.
1.6. Potential problems/alternative approaches: Challenges with logistics or obtaining permission for
wildlife sampling in sites we select. We have a >20-year track record of successful field work in Malaysia,
and >1 0 years in Thailand, and have strong established partnerships with local wildlife authorities and
communities to ensure access. We have existing permissions in place which will be renewed at the start of this
project. Due to the abundance of wildlife habitats in the region, if access to a site is withdrawn, we will rapidly
identify a suitable, complementary site with similar bat species composition and abundance. Finally, we have
already collected tens of thousands of wildlife samples from the region and will focus on these while waiting for
permission. We may not identify novel viruses in our sample wildlife species due to seasonality of viral
shedding or other factors. We have calculated sample sizes based on realistic detection rates from our
extensive preliminary data, and are confident that we will detect and identify large numbers of potentially
zoonotic pathogens, particularly for CoVs and PMVs. We acknowledge that FV strain diversity may be harder
to capture, given relatively low seroprevalence in bat populations - suggesting lower levels of viral circulation
(42, 43). However, our team was the first and only group to sequence FV RNA from Asian wildlife species (46,
47, 57), and we are confident that with our targeted sampling and testing strategy offers the best chance
globally to identify additional strains of Ebola and related viruses. The sampling regions we have selected are
subtropical, and our previous data, and even published studies in temperate regions (162), do not suggest a
strong pattern of seasonality in CoV shedding, and where seasonal patterns do occur, i.e. for henipaviruses in
Thailand (163), or can be predicted from wildlife serology data, we will be sure to conduct sampling at different
timepoints throughout the year to account for this.
Aim 2: Identify evidence and analyze risk factors for viral spillover in high-risk communities using
novel serological assays.
2.1 Rationale/Innovation: Rapid response requires early detection. Assessing the spillover of rare or novel
zoonotic agents will require targeted surveillance of high-risk communities that interface frequently with wildlife
that harbor high risk emerging viral strains. To enhance the low statistical probability of identifying these rare
events, In Aim 2 we will target rural human communities inhabiting regions identified in Aim 1 as having high
viral diversity in wildlife, that also engage in practices that increase the risk of spillover (e.g. hunting and
butchering wildlife). We will initially identify 4 subsites in each of Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak, and
Sabah for sampling. We will design and deploy human risk factor questionnaires, and specific and sensitive
serological assays to identify the baseline frequency, and causes of, spillover of known and related novel viral
pathogens in these populations. We will use the results to test a key hypothesis: that hunting wildlife
increases the risk of exposure to novel viruses, compared to the rest of the community. The alternative
hypothesis is that seroprevalence in the general community is not statistically different to those who hunt and
butcher wildlife, because exposure to wildlife pathogens is largely through inhabiting a biodiverse landscape
where wildlife make indirect contact with people (e.g. via fomites). For participants who report symptoms
related to 1) severe/acute respiratory illness (SARI/ARI); 2) Influenza-like illness (ILi); 3) fever of unknown
origin (FUO); 4) encephalitis; 5) hemorrhagic fever; or 6) unusual presentation of high fever with severe
diarrhea; all within the last 1 0 days, an additional sample type will be collected, two nasal or oropharyngeal
swabs. Samples will be marked for additional PCR-based assays to identify presence of known and novel
CoVs, henipaviruses and FVs, and for isolation and biological characterization of potential pathogens, using
the approach laid out in Aim 1.

collection in SE Asia: Our long-term collaboration in the region has included qualitative and quantitative
survey data, and collecting large archives of banked human sera and other biological samples from high
zoonotic-risk populations. For example, under the USAID-PREDICT project, EHA has collected 1,400 and 678
specimens in Malaysia and Thailand respectively from people living in zoonotic disease interfaces, all of which
will be available for retrospective serological testing by EID-SEARCH which we have ensured is compliant with
our existing IRB. Our core group has collected and tested many thousand additional specimens from other
important community cohorts (Table 2), and some of these will continue under EID-SEARCH (Section 2.4).

conducted exploratory studies using standardized one-on-one semi-structured interviews and site observation
data with people living in hotspot areas or engaged in high-zoonotic spillover risk activities, using these data to
assess local social and cultural norms underlying wildlife contact ( 165). We then developed a risk factor survey
to accompany human biological sampling to evaluate the type and frequency of animal contact, wildlife
exposure in daily life, occupational risk in markets and long the wildlife value chain, and unusual illnesses
reported over the past 12 months. We conducted cross-sectional studies in high risk populations in 27
countries, and study participants provided biological samples (oral/oropharyngeal swab, nasal/nasopharyngeal
swab, urine sample/urogenital swab, fecal sample/rectal swab, whole blood, serum, plasma). For example,
survey and biological samples were collected from: 1,585 participants from 7 sites in Yunnan, Guangxi, and
Guangdong provinces, China; 1,400 participants from 4 sites in Malaysia; and 678 participants from 4 sites in
Thailand. Samples were tested with novel serological assays and results analyzed against risk factors from
survey data (16). In China, CoV-seropositive individuals were mostly farmers/peasants (8/9), living in Yunnan
province (7/9), 41-60 yrs old (7/9), with domestic contact with rodents (6/9), that are male (6/9). Although these
results are preliminary and don't provide detailed information on routes of exposure, they identify key
subpopulations to target that would likely increase the opportunity for identifying evidence of spillover for other
CoVs, PMVs and FVs. Data from PREDICT surveys have been used to help identify target populations in Aim
2, identify strategies to better target at-risk people, and conduct focused human risk factor surveys and
serosurveys to produce statistically significant findings for henipaviruses, CoVs and FVs. In Aim 2, we
will use combined biological sampling and risk factor surveillance in targeted populations within the community
to 1) test the hypothesis that occupational (i.e. wildlife hunting) risk factors correlate with seropositivity to
henipaviruses, FVs and CoVs; 2) assess possible health effects of infection in people; and 3) where recent

serosurveys to produce statistically significant findings for henipaviruses, CoVs and FVs. In Aim 2, we
will use combined biological sampling and risk factor surveillance in targeted populations within the community
to 1) test the hypothesis that occupational (i.e. wildlife hunting) risk factors correlate with seropositivity to
henipaviruses, FVs and CoVs; 2) assess possible health effects of infection in people; and 3) where recent

illness is reported, obtain biological samples for PCR testing and potential viral isolation and characterization.
Obtaining this information could be a significant step in understanding the likelihood of recent 'hidden' spillover
events and their public health impacts, as well as the risk of future emergence of viral disease.
2.2.c. Risk factors for illness: Our preliminary data in Thailand, Malaysia and other SE Asian countries
revealed that frequent contact with wild (e.g. bats, rodents, NHPs) and domestic animals (e.g. poultry, swine)
among local communities was associated with a high percentage of self-reported severe/acute respiratory
illness (SARI/ARI) and Influenza-like illness (ILi) symptoms (Section 3.2.b). In addition, people involved in
crop production, hunting and butchering of wildlife reported statistically significantly higher SARI and ILi
symptoms (Li et al., in prep.). These preliminary data suggest a target population and sites for current
proposal with the correct targets for serological surveillance and risk factor surveys in Aim 2 to
produce statistically significant findings. Coupled with better serological tools from our team (Section
2.2.d), we will be able to identify the likely routes of exposure to known or novel coronaviruses, henipaviruses,
and FVs in the study region, as well as build data on the illnesses they cause in people.
2.2.d. Serological platform development: Most emerging viruses produced a short-lived viremia in people
so that large samples sizes are required to provide enough PCR-positive individuals to analyze infection
patterns. For Aim 2, we will focus on serological sampling in the community, because antibodies are typically
long-lived and can be used to assess prior virus exposure or infection with much smaller samples sizes ( 123).
Most serological assays target a single protein, and for emerging viruses, it's often unclear which viral antigen
will be immunodominant during human infection, and therefore which to target in developing serological
assays. Co-ls Wang. Anderson (Duke-NUS) and Broder. Laing (USUS) have developed a series of
approaches to deal with this problem. and which will be used in testing human biological samples in Aims 2
and 3. Henipaviruses, FV and Co Vs express envelope receptor-binding proteins that are the target of
protective antibody responses. Co-I Broder has led efforts to express and purify henipavirus native-like virus
surface proteins for immunoassay application (166, 167), developing monoclonal antibodies (168, 169) and as
subunit vaccines (170, 171), has developed a novel, multiplex microsphere immunoassay (MMIA) allowing
serum samples to be simultaneously tested for antibodies reactive with henipaviruses, FVs and CoVs. This
MMIA uses a Luminex-based multiplex platform and custom designed virus receptor-binding proteins
expressed in a mammalian cell-culture system and purified as native-like oligomeric proteins. These oligomeric
antigens retain post-translational modifications and quaternary structures, allowing capture of conformationaldependent antibodies raised during a natural infection, which represent the majority of the protective humeral
response. The known diversity of henipaviruses includes five presently described viruses, NiV, HeV, CedV,
GhV and MojV and this assay has been expanded to include all described species (Fig. 11 ). In the past, our
collaborators have used NiV and HeV G protein antigens in a MMIA assay to identify a serological footprint of
NiV-related African henipaviruses and exposure to virus(es) antigenically-related to NiV in livestock sampled in
Bangladesh (78, 79). To strengthen serological data interpretation, the G protein from each virus is integrated

Co-ls Wang and Anderson (Duke-NUS) have developed a phage-display method to screen antibodies for all
known and related bat-borne viruses, including henipaviruses, FVs and CoVs and have set up a similar
Luminex-based assay. Additionally the Duke-NUS team has demonstrated capacity for rapid and cost-effective
development of LIPS serological assays against novel viral agents (Sections 2.6.a, 3.2.a). These will be used
for verification and expanded surveillance. For molecular investigation (Aim 2 & 3), we will combine targeted
PCR with a discovery-driven enrichment NGS strategy to not only survey currently known viruses, but also to
discover potential novel viruses. Both the phage-display serological and enrichment platforms can be rapidly
updated to include new viruses identified.

identify the prevalence and frequency of risk-factors for viral
spillover in tandem with collection of high quality biological
samples to determine the seroprevalence of spillover viruses in
at-risk human populations. We will use generalized linear models
to analyze correlation between biological results and risk-factors
for viral spillover. In Aim 3, we will conduct clinic-based
syndromic surveillance and biological sampling at
clinics/hospitals that are the catchment healthcare facilities for
the communities sampled in Aim 2. Both community-based and
clinic-based syndromic surveillance programs are cross sectional
case-control studies designed with the sample sizes necessary to
statistically quantify (with a power of 80%) risk factors and health
impacts for viral spillover, linked to serological status and PCR
prevalence in symptomatic patients. All human sampling
conducted under Aims 2 and 3 will adhere to strict criteria for
inclusion and recruitment and protection of human subjects from
research risk (see Human Subjects and Clinical Trials
Information).
Fig. 12: Human sampling approach. Aim 2 (left) focuses on serology in high-risk communities to identify evidence of
population exposure to novel zoonotic viruses. Aim 3 (right) sets up clinical cohorts at hospitals serving these high-risk
communities to conduct syndromic surveillance and identify the etiology of new viral syndromes
2.4 Target population & sample sizes: We will target populations in the same geographic regions as those
identified in Aim 1 that harbor wildlife with high potential zoonotic viral diversity, that are EID hotspots, and that
are well-connected through regional travel and trade hubs to the global travel network (Fig 13). Within each
geographic region we will identify populations at four sub-sites, building on our preliminary data (Table 2). We
will target specific communities based on our analysis of previously collected behavioral questionnaire data,
and other publicly available data (e.g. wildlife hunting licenses sold in a region, number of guano caves
accessed for fertilizer etc.) to identify key at-risk populations and occupations with high exposure to wildlife.
We will conduct concurrent sampling trips at visits to sub-sites during which members of the community will be
enrolled and wildlife surveillance activities conducted. Individuals living or working around wildlife habitats (e.g.
bat caves/roosts), who hunt wildlife, work with wildlife or livestock, or slaughtering wildlife will be considered for
enrollment. Participants will complete a consent form and questionnaire in addition to having biological
samples collected. During these community trips after data collection the field research staff will conduct
community meetings to help inform the public health risk of zoonoses. Target populations: Thailand (Co-/
Wacharapluesadee): 100 subjects of healthy high-risk community from 2 study sites, Chonburi (NiV, other
PMVs and CoVs found by PCR in bats in our previous work), and Ratchaburi (bat guano harvester villages

Sample sizes: From our previous work we conservatively anticipate that 10-
30% of the community population will have had exposure to wildlife allowing us
to capture highly exposed and non-exposure individuals at each site.
Individuals living or working around wildlife habitats (e.g. bat caves/roosts),
who hunt wildlife, work with wildlife or livestock farming, transportation, selling,
or slaughtering wildlife in the surveyed areas will be targeted so that they make
up 230% of the sampled population in each community. We will stratify sampling to ensure appropriate
representation of sex, demographic, and socio-economic factors at each community site. In each of our
regions, we will conduct sampling at four sub-sites in populations with high prevalence of high occupational
and environmental risk of exposure to wildlife populations, sampling 175 persons at each sub-site. We will
target populations with, on average, 30% or higher prevalence of occupational or environmental exposures to
wildlife based on data from previous studies. This design will give us >80% power to detect 5 percentage point
differences in seroprevalence against any of our viral groups between baseline and high-risk subgroups. We
conservatively assume 5% base seroprevalence, as well as assuming high spatio-temporal variance amongst
sub-sites, with baseline varying 0-25% amongst sub-sties and the fraction of the population at risk varying from
20-40%. (Power calculation conducted by 500 simulations of a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM)). For
community-based surveillance, we will enroll 700 individuals per study region, allowing us to make
county/province-level comparisons of differing effects; the total sample will be 3,500 participants over 5 years.
2.5 Data & sample collection: Following enrollment, biological specimens (5ml will be drawn for whole blood
and serum collection, samples will be aliquoted, at least one max 500 µL of whole blood and two 500 µL serum
samples) will be collected by locally certified healthcare professional proficient in phlebotomy techniques and a
short questionnaire will be administered by trained project staff that speak appropriate local language to all
participants. Through the serological findings and the survey we will investigate the details of five risk factors
related to high risk wildlife exposure, to maximize the power of the analyses, based on continuing analysis of
our previous work, and will focus on: 1) occupation and occupational exposures; 2) observed or reported
interactions with priority wildlife, especially bats, in/around house; 3) proximity of residence or work place to
environments of increased risks, e.g. nearby bat roosts; 4) working or regular visitor to animal markets; 5) selfreported ILi/SARi clinical diagnosis or symptoms in the past 12mo and lifetime. For participants who report the
symptoms relating to 1) severe/acute respiratory illness (SARI/ARI); 2) Influenza-like illness (ILi); 3) fever of
unknown origin (FUO); 4) encephalitis; or 5) hemorrhagic fever within the last 10 days, an additional sample
type will be collected, nasal or oropharyngeal swab (2x). Blood of participants whose serum tests positive for
emerging viral pathogens will be taken and Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) frozen for future use.

interactions with priority wildlife, especially bats, in/around house; 3) proximity of residence or work place to
environments of increased risks, e.g. nearby bat roosts; 4) working or regular visitor to animal markets; 5) selfreported ILi/SARi clinical diagnosis or symptoms in the past 12mo and lifetime. For participants who report the
symptoms relating to 1) severe/acute respiratory illness (SARI/ARI); 2) Influenza-like illness (ILi); 3) fever of
unknown origin (FUO); 4) encephalitis; or 5) hemorrhagic fever within the last 10 days, an additional sample
type will be collected, nasal or oropharyngeal swab (2x). Blood of participants whose serum tests positive for
emerging viral pathogens will be taken and Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) frozen for future use.

These will be used for future harvesting of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies as potential therapeutics/
diagnostics (see Letter of Support NEIDL).
2.6: Laboratory analysis: 2.6.a Serological testing: We will screen all human specimens for henipaviruses,
FVs and CoVs using our novel, multiplex microsphere immunoassay (MMIA) (Section 2.2.d). We will use
ELISA and serum neutralization tests (SNT) as confirmatory, where feasible and appropriate for the
biocontainment level given sensitivity and specificity variation, and the need for live virus for SNTs (See Select
Agent Research). Serologic evidence of local spillover will be used to prioritize zoonotic strains for
recombinant virus recovery from full length sequences. Preliminary data suggest ELISA will be effective for
some viral groups. We previously developed a SARSr-CoV specific ELISA for serosurveillance using the
purified NP of a bat SARSr-CoV (Rp3). The specificity of this assay was evaluated using polyclonal antibodies
against HKU1, OC43, 229E, NL63, MERS-CoV and EBOV and no significant cross-activity detected ( 16). This
suggests that if we can expand our NP serology tests to cover other bat CoVs, and that doing so may
identify many more seropositive individuals. For CoVs, we will therefore use two serological testing
approaches: 1) testing human sera collected from both community- and clinic- based sampling for a panel of
bat CoVs that will include SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, SADS-CoV and a range of bat SARSr-CoVs (16); 2) testing
for antibodies to common human CoVs (HCoV NL63, OC43 - Section 2.8). We will test panels of NP and G
recombinant proteins to assess if this approach will act as a comparison to MMIA for FVs and PMVs.
2.6.b RT-PCR testing. Specimens from individuals in the community who reported being symptomatic within
the last 10 days (Section 2.5) will be screened using RT-PCR initially for CoVs, PMVs, and FVs following
published protocols (Section 1.4.c). Positive samples will be subjected to full genome sequencing and RTPCR amplification of the glycoprotein genes. Samples from the clinic-based syndromic surveillance will also be
tested using RT-PCR for Influenza A & B, HCoV NL63, OC43, HKU1, SARS-CoV & 229E, NiV, HeV, Ebola
(WHO PCR protocol) based on the symptom as rule-outs.
2.6.c Biological characterization of viruses identified: Novel viruses identified in humans will be recovered
by cultivation or viruses re-derived from full length genome sequences using reverse genetic approaches.
Viruses will be characterized for growth in primary human cell lines and in mouse models, including the
Collaborative Cross Mice or humanized mice expressing human receptors from related strains. The
approaches are discussed in more detail under Aim 1.
2.7 Epidemiological analysis: We will conduct a cross sectional case-control study to identify risk factors for
Henipavirus, FVs, and CoVs spillover. "Cases" are defined as participants whose samples tested positive for
Henipavirus, FVs, or CoVs by serological tests. "Controls" will be selected from the pool of participants
admitted to the studies and whose samples tested negative for Henipavirus, FVs, or CoVs. We will use nearest
neighbor matching to pair cases demographically (e.g. age, sex, location) with controls at a 1-to-3 ratio or
greater. We will use generalized linear models and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO)
regression analyses ( 176) to analyze correlation between biological results, serological/PCR status, and risk
factors related to high risk wildlife exposure including: 1) occupation and occupational exposures; 2) observed
or reported interactions with priority wildlife, especially bats, in/around house; 3) home or work proximity to
environments of increased risks, e.g. nearby bat roosts; 4) working or regular visitor to animal markets; 5) selfreported ILi/SARi clinical diagnosis or symptoms lifetime and past 12mo. Additionally, we will use this
procedure to determine how clinical presentation differs between Henipavirus, FVs, or CoVs in exposed and
unexposed participants, as well as in the time course of illness, severity of symptoms, and type of symptoms.
2.8 Potential problems/alternative approaches: Rarity of spillover events means it may be difficult to
identify sufficient seropositives to statistically analyze human risk profiles. First, we will be targeting our
community-based surveillance to subpopulations with high-levels of wildlife exposure, at sites selected for
diverse and prevalent viruses to increase likelihood of finding positive individuals. Second, our serology testing
will include a multi-plex panel of assays for a large diversity of viruses, increasing likelihood of positives. For
example, in previous work our overall bat CoV PCR prevalence in the community was, 11.8%; 13-CoV, 3.4%; aCoV, 9.1 %). Thus, using this broad serological panel to screen individuals prone to contact with species of
higher zoonotic risk increases the potential for detecting spillover with enough power for statistical analyses,

and will shed light on behaviors that predispose to spillover, Third, we will include common human CoVs,
PMVs, and influenza viruses in our panel, so that even if low prevalence of wildlife viruses is found, we will be
able to conduct a valuable cross-sectional study of the seroprevalence of more common human viruses.
Finally, we will be able to assess relative measures of human-wildlife contact from our survey work. We will
analyze intensity of contact with high-risk taxa against other risk factors to provide useful proxy information for
spillover risk. Serological testing may be difficult to interpret in the presence of known and novel
viruses. We will use the three-tiered serological testing system outline in 2.6.a to try to identify exposure to
these 'novel' viruses. However, we know exposure to a range of related viruses generates antisera that are
cross-reactive with known, related virus antigens - a serious challenge to serological surveillance and
diagnostics. Our collaborations have already demonstrated that SE Asia bat sera samples screened with our
pan-filovirus MMIA have been exposed to an Ebola-like virus, that is antigenically-distinct from known Asiatic
filoviruses, Reston virus and Mengla virus (43). Using these three serological platforms we will address
inherent challenges of indirect virus surveillance through antibody capture by testing multiple binding assay
platforms and antigens, using positive control samples to establish serological profiles against known viruses
that will aid in our interpretations of cross-reactive antisera responses likely representative of 'novel' viruses.
Aim 3: Identify and characterize viral etiology of 'cryptic' outbreaks in clinical cohorts.
3.1 Rationale/Innovation: Our previous research (Table 1) and other data suggests that there are substantial
numbers of outbreaks or clinical cases for which the etiologic agent is not diagnosed, e.g. (177, 178). To
investigate this in SE. Asia, we have assembled a multi-disciplinary team that includes senior infectious
disease doctors and clinicians and will work directly with local clinics and regional hospitals to identify the
'cryptic' outbreaks or cases that occur in the region. In Aim 2, we will conduct serology in high zoonoticrisk communities to find evidence of prior exposure in people, i.e. evidence of viral spillover into the
community. In Aim 3 we identify members of these communities presenting at clinic with undiagnosed illness
that may have high-impact zoonotic viral etiology. Therefore, in Aim 3 we focus on PCR to identify the
putative viruses that are replicating in these actively-infected patients (Fig. 12). We will enroll, and collect
high quality biological samples from patients who live in rural communities linked to Aim 2 and who present at
regional clinics or hospitals with symptoms typical of high impact zoonotic viruses. We will collect detailed
survey data to assess their contact type and frequency with wildlife and livestock and conduct molecular and
serological diagnostic assays to test causal links between their syndromes and the known and novel viral
agents identified in Aim 1. We will conduct molecular viral discovery assays on patients who present with
symptoms indicative of a high-risk zoonotic virus. If novel pathogens are identified by PCR, we will attempt to
isolate, obtain full genome sequence and/or biologically characterize the wildtype or molecularly re-derived
pathogen, using the in vitro and in vivo strategy laid out in Aim 1.
3.2 Preliminary data clinical surveillance: 3.2.a. Clinical surveys and outbreak investigations: Our
longterm collaboration in the region has included the following activities investigating clinical syndromes:
Peninsular Malaysia: At the time of writing, an outbreak of suspected undiagnosed viral illness in the
indigenous Batek Orang Asli ("people of the forest") community living at Gua Musang ("civet cat
cave") district, in Kelantan, Malaysia, close to Taman Negara - a National Park containing the oldest
known rainforest. This community is one where we have conducted prior routine surveillance and biological
sampling, demonstrating proof-of-concept that our two-pronged high-risk community/clinic approach will work.
Dozens of people are affected and the outbreak is currently being investigated by our group in collaboration
with the Malaysian NPHL. The Orang Asli continue to practice traditional subsistence hunting of wild animals
(bats, rodents, primates). These communities are remotely located, in heavily forested areas, with limited
access to medical services. This outbreak, and others that will continue to emerge just like it underscore the
critical need for our EIDRC - to improve the technological tools, training, and human capacity for rapid EID
surveillance, diagnosis, and response at the frontlines of disease emergence in SE Asia. Investigating this
outbreak is a key priority if EID-SEARCH is funded. Sabah: Co-I Kamruddin (BMHRC) is leading an
asymptomatic leptospirosis study on sanitation workers, an ILi study in a Kota Kinabalu clinic and diarrheal
study in children under 5 yrs. Co-ls William, Tan and others have conducted clinical observational studies to
determine the etiology of central nervous system infections and acute undifferentiated febrile illness in Sabah.

Co-ls William and consultant Yeo have collaborated with Co-I Wang to enroll 90 adult and over 100 pediatric
participants with central nervous system infections, negative tests for malaria and dengue from 3 district
hospitals in Sabah to determine the various etiologies. While a proportion tested positive for rickettsial agents,
the majority had no clear diagnosis. Co-ls William, Rajah ram, and Yeo have conducted clinical studies of over
200 inpatients with acute febrile illness with negative tests for malaria and dengue from 3 district hospitals in
Sabah to determine the various etiologies. While a high proportion tested positive for rickettsial agents, the
majority had no clear diagnosis. Sarawak: Co-I Siang (UNI MAS) is conducting a survey of high-risk female
Kelabit indigenous people and has found 8% with HPV52 as the dominant strain. He is working on clinical
cohorts of hand, foot and mouth disease and will recruit patients from that study in the current proposed work.
Finally, Co-ls Siang, Kamruddin are conducting a long-term study of rotavirus and other viral etiologies of acute
gastroenteritis in Kuching, Sarawak that will include swine herders and farmers. The Barie lab is a global
leader in norovirus VLP diagnostic reagents to detect serologic evidence of norovirus gastroenteritis, as well as
RT-PCR detection of novel noroviruses in humans, and has identified novel bat noroviruses, suggesting further
opportunities for expansion of this work ( 142, 179-181 ). This work is particularly relevant in Malaysia because
pig farms are shunned by the government and local villagers to they are placed far away from town centers,
deep in the forest, and it is this scenario that led to the emergence of Nipah virus in 1998-9 (6, 22). Thailand:
Co-ls Hemachudha, Wacharapluesedee (TRC-EID, Chulalongkorn Univ. Hosp.) work in coordination with the
Thailand Ministry of Health to investigate outbreak etiology, including the first case of imported MERS-CoV in
Thailand, for which we produced sequence confirmation within 24 hours from acquiring the specimen.
Three imported MERS cases have been detected in Thailand since 2015, and all cases were confirmed at the
TRC-EID. We worked during the Zika outbreak to identify> 500 PCR-positive Zika patients with sequence
confirmation. We have also worked on returning and suspected Ebola travelers, syndromic surveillance for
SARI, encephalitis, Hand Foot and Mouth disease in children and viral diarrhea. Consultant Hickey (US CDC,
Thailand), screened specimens collected between 1998 and 2002 from a large cohort of children from
Kamphaeng Phet Province to examine Dengue virus and JE epidemiology (182, 183). Among the 784/2,574
convalescent sera henipavirus-specific antibodies were detected in 13 serum samples (1.7% seroprevalence ),
suggesting prior exposure to endemic henipaviruses or a related PMV in rural Thailand. Singapore: Duke-NUS
has worked with the Ministry of Health to investigate Zika cases (184), and other EIDs. With EHA and others,
Duke-NUS has developed novel CoV assays for clinical surveillance, and for expedited analysis during
outbreaks. Our pipeline of novel virus detection, reservoir host identification, serological assay development,
and serological testing is as rapid as several months, with the development of novel serological assays from
sequence data in 7 days (17). For example, with the discovery of SADS-CoV, we identified and fully
sequenced a new virus, screened archived wildlife specimens to identify the natural reservoir host
species (Rhinolophus spp. bats), developed LIPS serological assays, and tested human and swine
samples to assess seroprevelance in less than 3 months (17).
3.2.b Analysis of self-reported illness: We have developed a standardized approach for analyzing data from
study participants on self-reported symptoms related to target illnesses: fever with cough and shortness of
breath or difficulty breathing (severe acute respiratory illness - SARI); fever with muscle aches (fevers of
unknown origin (FUO); and, cough or sore throat (influenza-like illness - ILi). For all of our prior human clinical
surveillance in 20+ countries, including in Malaysia and Thailand, we used a least absolute shrinkage and

3.3 General Approach: Our previous research suggests that there are substantial numbers of outbreak cases
for which the etiologic agent has not been identified. To capture these, we will expand on our current
syndromic surveillance to enroll, and collect high quality biological samples from patients who present at
regional clinics and live in rural communities linked to Aim 2. Case definitions and enrollment criteria include: 1)
severe/acute respiratory illness (SARI/ARI); 2) Influenza-like illness (ILi); 3) fever of unknown origin (FUO); 4)
encephalitis; 5) hemorrhagic fever; or 6) high fever/diarrhea with unusual presentation. We will collect survey
data to assess contact with wildlife, and occupational and environmental exposures, conduct molecular and
serological assays to test causal links between their syndromes and the known and novel viral agents
identified in Aim 1. If novel pathogens are identified by PCR, we will attempt to isolate and biologically
characterize the pathogen, using the collaborative cross to identify an appropriate animal model to conduct
preliminary pathogenesis work. We will then use behavioral survey data, ecological and phylogeographic
analyses to assess the likely reservoir hosts to inform intervention programs.
3.4 Clinical cohorts. 3.4.a Cohort selection: We will initiate active clinic-based syndromic surveillance at 2
town-level level clinics and 2 provincial-level hospitals in each Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and
Sarawak. These serve as the catchment healthcare facilities for people in our community-based surveillance of
Aim 2 and are inclusive of wildlife sampling sites in Aim 1. Patients 2::: 12 years old presenting at the health
facility who meet the syndromic and clinical case definitions above will be recruited into the study after
completing a consent form. We will aim to enroll 300 participants per hospital, with that we will have a 95%
probability of detecting live virus in patients in each hospital assuming a population prevalence of 1 %. This
sampling effort will total of 4,800 individuals for clinical syndromic surveillance. We assume up to 40% loss
from follow-up, therefore yielding 2880 participants that will be available for follow-up blood sampling (Section
3.4.b). While enrollment is limited by the number of patients that come to the healthcare facility presenting with
relevant clinical symptoms, in our work in the PREDICT project we enrolled an average of 100 participants per
year, so we are confident this is an achievable enrollment target. Study data will be pooled across country
regions, as clinical patients are limited by the number of individuals presenting at hospitals. "Cases" will be
determined as participants whose samples tested positive for either CoVs, henipavirus, or FVs, PCR tests.
"Controls" will be selected from the pool of participants admitted to the studies and whose samples tested
negative. We will use nearest neighbor matching to pair cases demographically (e.g. age, sex, location) with
controls at a 1-to-3 ratio or greater. Sites: Thailand: We will work with two primary hospital, Phanat Nikhom
Hosp., Chonburi district (Key Pers. Dr. P. Hemachudha) & Photharam Hosp., Ratchaburi Province, and a large
tertiary hospital, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok Thailand (Co-I Dr. T. Hemachudha).
Peninsular Malaysia: Focusing immediately on the current outbreak in Orang Asli, we will work closely
with the Malaysian Ministry of Health to support their investigation, and with 6 Orang Asli clinics which
focus solely on this indigenous community. Co-I Sellaran (Lintang Clinic, Kuala Kangsar) refers patients to
Sungai Siput Hospital and Gen. Hospital, lpoh. Key Pers. I Lotfi (Pos Betau clinic, Kuala Lipis) will continue
collaboration with Co-I Hughes in the communities at that site. Sarawak: Key Pers. Diyana (Director, Bario
Clinic) refers patients to Miri Hospital (Co-I Utap) and serves people from the Kelabit, and nomadic tribes in the
region, as well as populations within a number of large towns. Sabah: We will continue our collaboration with
Queen Elizabeth Hospital, QEH (Key Pers. Lee, Rajahram) and Hospital University Malaysia Sabah, HUMS
(Co-I Lasimbang, Director). Both clinics include our targeted sites for Aim 2 in their catchment, and both have
ongoing collaboration with the Borneo Medical Health Ctr (Co-I Kamruddin, Director). Singapore: Currently,
there are no plans to conduct clinic surveillance based on budget constraints. However, in the event that that is
an evolving need for clinic surveillance, enrollment, and sampling, we have close working relationships with all
hospitals in the country, and the central infectious disease reference lab (key clinicians at which are aware of
our proposal). This would allow us to rapidly on-board a hospital based site.
3.4.b Clinic enrollment and follow-up: We will recruit inpatients and outpatients to participate in the study
after initial screening to determine if they meet our clinical case definitions. Once consented and enrolled,
biological samples will be collected by trained and locally certified hospital staff and a questionnaire
administered by trained hospital or research staff that speak appropriate local language. Every effort will be
made to take samples concurrently when collecting samples for normative diagnostics. For both inpatients and
outpatients, samples will be collected no more than 10 days of reported onset of illness to increase the chance

of PCR detection of viruses ( 185). Where possible, we will follow up 35 days after enrollment to collect an
additional two 500 µL serum samples conduct a standardized questionnaire supplement to collect additional
data on the course of symptoms in the interim period. This gives adequate time for development of lgG, which
occurs <28 days after onset of symptoms for SARS patients ( 186-188). Serum samples will be used to screen
panels of high risk human and local zoonotic Filovirus, Henipavirus and Coronavirus strains as described in
Aim 2. These samples may prove valuable to collaborators in that the PBMC could be used in production of
therapeutic antibodies.
3.4.c Sampling and clinical interview: Biological specimens whole blood (5ml will be drawn for whole blood
and serum collection, samples will be aliquoted, at least one max. 500 µL whole blood; two 500 µL serum
samples) and two nasal or oropharyngeal swabs will be collected from all participants, and a questionnaire will
be administered. We will investigate five risk factors, to maximize the power of the analyses, all related to high
risk wildlife exposure, based on continuing analysis of our previous work, and will include: 11) occupation and
occupational exposures; 2) observed or reported interactions with priority wildlife, especially bats, in/around
house; 3) proximity of residence or work place to environments of increased risks, e.g. nearby bat roosts; 4)
working or regular visitor to animal markets; 5) self-reported ILi/SARi clinical diagnosis or symptoms in the past
12mo and lifetime. With additional consent considerations for participants enrolled from clinical settings, we will
review clinical records to collect data on medical history, clinical syndromes, and patient etiology. Blood will be
taken for future harvesting of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs), as per Section 2.5.
3.5 Sample testing: The standard syndromic diagnostic PCR assays for common pathogens will be
conducted and the results will be shared with the hospital with 48 hours. Specimens will be further tested for 3
viral families; CoV, PMV and filovirus by consensus PCR (Section 1.4.c). Necropsy samples from deceased
patients will be further characterized by NGS if previous PCRs are negative and unable to identify the cause of
infection. Co-ls Wang, Anderson will conduct a VirScan serological assay using paired serum samples at
Duke-NUS that identifies antibodies with a four-fold rise in titer in the convalescent sample compared with the
acute sample, thereby indicating a possible etiological agent. A PCR test with the specific primer from each
virus antibody positive case will be further tested from acute specimens to confirm infection.
3.6 Viral risk characterization and potential for pandemic spread: We will use statistical models built from
collated biological, ecological, and genetic data to assess the likelihood of pathogenicity for the range of
diverse viruses we will characterize. The aim is to quickly identify and assess which viruses pose the most
significant risk to human health and thus prioritize additional resources to more fully characterize, better
understand oathogenicity, and invest in our animal model pipeline and ultimately therapeutic development for
those pathogens. We will combine two independent but related statistical models to predict pathogen spillover
risk and pathogenicity. First, we will expand a simple generalized additive modeling approach (3) to assess
spillover risk probability to a new virus that is currently not known to infect people, when we have only limited
genetic data from initial PCR screening and sequencing. Additional data from receptor binding protein
homology and cell line infection experiments will be incorporated into the model framework as available.
Second, given high likelihood to spillover and infect humans, or direct evidence of human infection from our
clinical surveillance, we will then assess the likelihood of pathogenicity based on traits for phylogenetically
related nearest neighbor viruses as a first approximation and incorporating more detailed data from genomic
characterization and animal model experiments (Aim 1 ). Epidemiological trait data for ~300 viral species
known to infect people (e.g. case fatality rate, global estimates of number of human cases per year or decade,
Ro, infectious period, and primary symptoms) have been collated by recent studies and will be used as
-···FLIRT predictor variables (189). Thirdly, we will apply tools already developed,

predict pandemic spread for viruses using global flight models, as well as
additional datasets on human movement and connectivity across
Southeast Asia (90, 91) (Fig. 15).

3.7 Potential problems/alternative approaches: Patients visiting clinics may have cleared virus, but not
yet developed lgG antibodies, reducing seropositive cases. Our 35 day follow-up sampling should account
for this because the maximum lag time between SARS infection and lgG development is ~28 days and Ebola
virus infection and lgG approximately 20 days ( 185-188, 190). We also expect that patients in rural
communities will only visit clinics when symptoms have progressed, likely coinciding with late illness and onset
of lgG. We will also have data from our community study that can be analyzed in conjunction with, or in the
absence of, clinical data from the hospital data to identify PCR- or seropositives. Finally, the risk of limited
detection is outweighed by the potential public health importance of discovering active spillover of new
henipaviruses, FVs or Co Vs infection.

regular conference calls and in-person meetings to facilitate rapid decision making within the EID-SEARCH.
This committee will also convene to manage EID-SEARCH response to outbreaks.
4.1.b Project Management in Thailand and Malaysia: Wacharapluesedee and Hughes have collaborated
directly with EHA for >15 years, including acting as country coordinators on the USAID PREDICT project for
the last 10 years (project end date Sept. 2019). They maintain strong ties with Ministries of Health (MOH),
Agriculture and Environment, multiple universities and research institutions, clinics, and hospitals, in their
respective countries and across the region. The EID-SEARCH will use these connections to disseminate
results, obtain permissions to conduct sampling, and also rapidly respond to and assist with outbreaks as they
happen. Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak, and Sabah are the three main Malaysian administrative regions, and
effectively operate as three separate countries, with different regulations and government structures. We
therefore provide specific details on the management of EID-SEARCH activities in each:
Coordination among Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak will be led by co-I Hughes (Conservation
Medicine Ltd), and follow a successful model we implemented under USAID-PREDICT. On Peninsular
Malaysia this project will be administered through the Zoonosis Technical Working Committee (ZTWC)
established under the PREDICT project with a binding MOU among EHA, CM Ltd. and ZTWC, and including
officers from MOH, Dept. of Veterinary Services, and PERHILITAN (the Govt. wildlife agency). EHA will
communicate weekly with Co-I Hughes to coordinate and monitor implementation of research and reporting to
ZTWC. Co-I Hughes will coordinate activities at all other Peninsular Malaysia institutions: NPHL, the National
reference laboratory for diagnostic confirmation of pathogens, will manage molecular and serological screening
(BioPlex) of Orang Asli samples, and serological screening of syndromic samples from Sabah and Sarawak;
the PERHILITAN molecular zoonosis laboratory will store and conduct molecular and serological screening on
wildlife samples; and Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) Faculty of Veterinary Medicine will conduct molecular
and serological screening (BioPlex) of livestock samples, should these be required. For Sabah & Sarawak,
work will be administered through the Sabah Zoonotic Diseases Committee (SZOC), a working technical
committee comprising appointed and authorized officers from Sabah State Health Dept., Department of
Veterinary Services, Sabah Wildlife Dept. (SWD), Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) and EHA, all of which are
also committed through a signed MOU. Co-I Hughes will oversee work at all other partners in Sabah, including:
the Kata Kinabalu Public Health Lab (KKPHL) for molecular screening of syndromic samples from Sabah and
Sarawak; the SWD Wildlife Health and Genetic and Forensics Lab for molecular screening of Sabah wildlife
samples; The Borneo Medical Health Research Center (BMHRC) for screening some Sabah wildlife and
livestock samples, if required, and human syndromic samples from Sabah and Sarawak. In Thailand all
human community and wildlife research and testing will be coordinated by co-I Wacharapluesedee from the
TRC-EID center. Clinical surveillance will be overseen by senior clinical physician and co-IT. Hemachudha.
4.1.c. Approval and release of results: In our experience, it is critical when working in resource-poor
countries, on potentially important pathogens, to strictly adhere to protocols for release of results. EIDSEARCH will liaise with existing points of contact in the Ministries of Health, Environment, and Agriculture in
each our administrative areas to approve and release project findings publicly. Results from human screening
will be shared with participants when they become available, as per our IRB agreements ensuring no violations
to anonymize data requirements (see Protection of Human Subjects).
4.2. Flexibility to extend the EID-SEARCH to new sites as needed: The EID-SEARCH consortium partners
maintain extensive working relationships with leaders in EID outbreak control, clinical investigations and
research at over 50 clinics, research institutes and public health laboratories across Southeast Asia. Due to
space constraints, we haven't listed each of these, nor have we solicited >50 Letters of Support for this project.
However, each core EID-SEARCH partner has contacted their networks and obtained permission for inclusion
in the broader goals of the EIDRC. As examples of these contacts, our core partner, the Thai Red Cross
Emerging Infectious Disease Health Science Centre (TRC-EID) at Chulalongkorn University, also serves as
the WHO Collaborating Centre for Research and Training on Viral Zoonoses and has ongoing research
collaborations across WHO SEARO countries including Bangladesh, Bhutan, Democratic People's Republic of
Korea, India, Indonesia, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, (Thailand), Timor-Leste; and has recently
served as a training hub for scientists from Malaysia, Myanmar, Laos, the Philippines, and China to learn
methods of wildlife sampling and diagnostic screening. Our Thai clinicians (Co-I T. Hemachudha and KP P.

regular conference calls and in-person meetings to facilitate rapid decision making within the EID-SEARCH.
This committee will also convene to manage EID-SEARCH response to outbreaks.
4.1.b Project Management in Thailand and Malaysia: Wacharapluesedee and Hughes have collaborated
directly with EHA for >15 years, including acting as country coordinators on the USAID PREDICT project for
the last 10 years (project end date Sept. 2019). They maintain strong ties with Ministries of Health (MOH),
Agriculture and Environment, multiple universities and research institutions, clinics, and hospitals, in their
respective countries and across the region. The EID-SEARCH will use these connections to disseminate
results, obtain permissions to conduct sampling, and also rapidly respond to and assist with outbreaks as they
happen. Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak, and Sabah are the three main Malaysian administrative regions, and
effectively operate as three separate countries, with different regulations and government structures. We
therefore provide specific details on the management of EID-SEARCH activities in each:
Coordination among Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak will be led by co-I Hughes (Conservation
Medicine Ltd), and follow a successful model we implemented under USAID-PREDICT. On Peninsular
Malaysia this project will be administered through the Zoonosis Technical Working Committee (ZTWC)
established under the PREDICT project with a binding MOU among EHA, CM Ltd. and ZTWC, and including
officers from MOH, Dept. of Veterinary Services, and PERHILITAN (the Govt. wildlife agency). EHA will
communicate weekly with Co-I Hughes to coordinate and monitor implementation of research and reporting to
ZTWC. Co-I Hughes will coordinate activities at all other Peninsular Malaysia institutions: NPHL, the National
reference laboratory for diagnostic confirmation of pathogens, will manage molecular and serological screening
(BioPlex) of Orang Asli samples, and serological screening of syndromic samples from Sabah and Sarawak;
the PERHILITAN molecular zoonosis laboratory will store and conduct molecular and serological screening on
wildlife samples; and Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) Faculty of Veterinary Medicine will conduct molecular
and serological screening (BioPlex) of livestock samples, should these be required. For Sabah & Sarawak,
work will be administered through the Sabah Zoonotic Diseases Committee (SZOC), a working technical
committee comprising appointed and authorized officers from Sabah State Health Dept., Department of
Veterinary Services, Sabah Wildlife Dept. (SWD), Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) and EHA, all of which are
also committed through a signed MOU. Co-I Hughes will oversee work at all other partners in Sabah, including:
the Kata Kinabalu Public Health Lab (KKPHL) for molecular screening of syndromic samples from Sabah and
Sarawak; the SWD Wildlife Health and Genetic and Forensics Lab for molecular screening of Sabah wildlife
samples; The Borneo Medical Health Research Center (BMHRC) for screening some Sabah wildlife and
livestock samples, if required, and human syndromic samples from Sabah and Sarawak. In Thailand all
human community and wildlife research and testing will be coordinated by co-I Wacharapluesedee from the
TRC-EID center. Clinical surveillance will be overseen by senior clinical physician and co-IT. Hemachudha.
4.1.c. Approval and release of results: In our experience, it is critical when working in resource-poor
countries, on potentially important pathogens, to strictly adhere to protocols for release of results. EIDSEARCH will liaise with existing points of contact in the Ministries of Health, Environment, and Agriculture in

maintain extensive working relationships with leaders in EID outbreak control, clinical investigations and
research at over 50 clinics, research institutes and public health laboratories across Southeast Asia. Due to
space constraints, we haven't listed each of these, nor have we solicited >50 Letters of Support for this project.

Hemachudha) provide regular case consultations and clinical trainings for doctors across SEARO countries,
including with Yangoon General Hospital and the National Health Lab in Myanmar, 2018. To maximize
leverage of this broad network, EHA has budgeted for annual meetings in SE Asia, in addition to regular
smaller network meetings, with our core team and key public health experts from network labs in each of the
10 SE Asian countries. Additionally, we will set up a listserv and an internal communication network to facilitate
collaboration and information exchange, including on the first reports of new disease outbreaks. Our annual
and smaller network meetings will critically allow face-to-face meetings of the EID-SEARCH that will foster
greater sharing of information on novel research and diagnostic approaches, pathogens that are of key
pandemic potential, regions or populations at high risk of spillover, and information from the greater network on
likely outbreaks of novel disease. This platform will coordinate sample sharing and diagnostic platforms and
help build a rapid response to outbreaks in the region, guided by the Pl, Deputy and the Executive Committee.
4.3. Outbreak response: EHA collaboration with expert networks around the world allows us to mobilize and
enhance effective One Health response to disease emergencies (191), ranging from real-time situation
updates and risk analyses to on-the-ground investigations (192-194). We will adopt management tools from
Emergency Operating Center (EOCs) (195) and Incident Management Systems (IMS) (196), to shift resources
where necessary to help respond to novel zoonotic outbreak events and other public health emergencies. EHA
has extensive experience working with governments in low and middle income countries (LMIC) applying these
principles of epidemic preparedness during outbreak responses we've been involved with under the USAIDPREDICT project. For example, at the request of the government of Bangladesh, we provided technical field
and laboratory support for Nipah virus and avian influenza outbreak investigations, assisting with wildlife
sampling as part of the outbreak response alongside human and domestic animal sampling. In India, we
provided technical assistance in response to the Nipah virus outbreak in Kerala in 2018. Last month in
Indonesia were assisted the Ministry of Health's Center for Health Laboratory in Makassar to provide technical
assistance in a mysterious outbreak in a small village in South Sulawesi that killed 4 villagers and infected 72.
Our network partners include the key government and govt. approved laboratories that would be directly
involved in public health emergency response in their respective countries. The serological and PCR platforms
that EID-SEARCH develops will be made available to the main government outbreak investigation teams for
clinical work and research during the outbreak. EID-SEARCH will also offer assistance training and conducting
animal sampling during an outbreak, epidemiological analysis and modeling to help identify likely reservoirs or
likely pathways to spread. Technical and material support for lab, field and analytical activities during an
outbreak will be provided by EHA, UNC, USU, Duke-NUS, and NEIDL, as well as in-country partners. Any
clinical samples, viral isolates and sequence data will be shared among partners to promote the rapid
development of new diagnostic assays, reagents, and therapeutics that can be deployed to the region or other
regions as part of the larger NIH EIDRC network.
Finally, while the initial pathogen focus of our group is on CoVs, PMVs and FVs, our broad collaborative group
has multidisciplinary expertise on a number of virus-host systems. For example: Pl Daszak was Pl on a
subaward from Pl Laura Kramer's U01 on Poxviruses and Flaviviruses, managing a multidisciplinary research
project on West Nile virus ecology. He was also co-I on a 5-year NSF-funded project to understand West Nile
virus dynamics and risk in the USA (197-201); Co-I Barie is a global leader in Norovirus research leading to the
development of vaccines and therapeutics (202-205); Co-I Wang has conducted significant work on bat
immunology, therapeutic, and reagent development, as well as being involved in a range of outbreak
investigations, viral discovery programs and other research on a wide diversity of viral groups (206-215).
Additionally, the serological and PCR-based diagnostic platforms being developed by Co-ls Wang and Broder
are adaptable to other viral targets. The modeling tools developed by Co-ls Olival and Zambrana-Torrelio can
be used to predict the emergence and spread of diverse viral targets, including influenza, antimicrobial
resistance, and vector-borne diseases (216-221). Our clinicians working in Thailand and Malaysia have a wide
range of infectious disease investigations to adapt to any outbreak situation.
4.4. Communications: EHA will coordinate communication among all co-ls and key personnel, including:
• Multiple meetings per week with Pl, Deputy Lead, Senior Program Manager (on project and task status)
• Weekly web/phone meetings between Program Manager and subawardee admin. staff
• Monthly web/phone conferences between EHA Pis and all subawardee Pis.

• Monthly web conferences between key personnel (research presentations/coordination)
• In-person Annual meetings with partner leads, key personnel at EHA and two in-person partner meetings
annually between subawardees.
• Annual in-person meeting among all key personnel
4.5. Problem identification and resolution: Regular planning, monitoring, and evaluation meetings will be
the primary mechanisms for problem identification. Minor problems (e.g. delays in sample availability or test
results) will be dealt with internally through appropriate action and resolution monitored by Pl Daszak and co-I
Oliva!, and our Senior Program Manager. In the event of significant problems, such as prolonged poor
productivity, inadequate scientific collaboration, or major disputes regarding research direction or resource
allocation, EHA will assist with resolving the problem through negotiation with relevant co-ls and consultation
with the Executive Committee. Should a resolution not be forthcoming, consultation with the EIDRC-CC,
additional external technical advisors, and NIH staff may be warranted.
4.6. Adaptive management and risk mitigation: Maintaining a timeline and meeting milestones will require
strict and continuous oversight of all project phases, frequent and regularly scheduled communication, and
the ability to make decisions and implement strategies. To maintain our timeline on all projects, including the
EID-SEARCH, we use an adaptive management approach to continually evaluate these trade-offs, to make
decisions about when iteration is appropriate and when it is necessary to move forward with current
information. Our ethos is that regular, scheduled communication among all staff, partners and collaborators
will go a long way towards mitigating risks, especially if the process is collaborative and transparent.
5. Data Management Plan
EHA will house the Data Management and Analysis (OMA) team for EID-SEARCH, led by Co-Pis Oliva! and
Zambrana-Torreilo and include Key Personnel Latinne and Mendelsohn. EHA has served as the data and
analysis hub for numerous multi-institutional, multi-sectoral, international disease research groups, including
acting as Modeling and Analytics lead for the PREDICT project (122), the Western Asia Bat Research Network
(222) and EHA's Rift Valley Fever Consortium. We will leverage our experience and infrastructure from those
projects to benefit the EID-SEARCH. 5.1. Project Database: We will create a dedicated, centralized EIDSEARCH database to ingest, store, link, and provide for analysis all data associated with the proposed study
and other expanded projects associated with the research network. The database will be SOL-based and use
encrypted, secure cloud hosting services and enable export to archival and platform-independent formats. It
will ensure data and metadata compatibility between project components, track data versioning and
annotations. The system will be designed to work with both with both paper- and tablet-based field data entry
and with the Lockbox laboratory information management systems (Section 5.2) in place in individual partner
labs. The database will use existing metadata standards, including NCBI standards for genetic and molecular
data and Ecological Metadata Language (EML) for field and wildlife data, as well as other standards and
formats designated by the EIRDC CC. This will enable rapid publication and deposition of data. Granular
security and privacy controls will be applied so that specific expansion projects undertaken in the network may
be managed while maintaining data confidentiality as needed.
5.2. Biological Specimen Management: Project laboratories will use the Lockbox Laboratory Information
Management System (LIMS), to manage the security, traceability, and quality of biological specimens. The
LIMS will support sample barcoding at creation, tracking through transport, storage/inventory, and use via
portable scanners. Lockbox supports CLIA and ISO 17025 as well as direct export to NCBI formats such as
Sequence Read Archive. We will use the Lockbox LIMS application programming interface (API) to link to the
central project database and associated samples with field and ecological data. We note that the project
focuses on highly pathogenic viruses, including select agents; Lockbox LIMS supports sample tracking and
movement compliant with US Select Agent Regulations and US Department of Commerce Pathogen Import
and Export Control Regulations, and includes all necessary encryption, security, and backup protocols.
5.3. Training: Members of the OMA team will team will develop documentation and provide training for field
and laboratory teams at all partner institutions in data management, metadata standards and data hygiene
best practices. The OMA team will act as trainers and consultants for partner institutions in experimental

design, power analysis, data analysis, and computational and reproducibility issues, and visit each partner
institution and/or field team base for training workshops and analysis consultations.
5.4. Data Identification and Privacy: For human clinical data and questionnaires, data will be identified by a
unique identification code assigned to each individual and only this, de-identified code will be accessible in the
project database, and destroyed at the end of the project - as per details provided in the Clinical Management
Plan and Protection of Human Subjects forms.
5.5. Computing Resources: EHA operates a cluster of high-performance servers for data analysis activities,
as well as infrastructure to launch cloud-based computing environments (see EHA Facilities). Our servers
host all necessary software for statistical and bioninformatics work that is available to the OMA and partners
anywhere in the world. We use a mixture of cloud services (AWS, Azure, Backblaze, GitHub) to provide
redundancy, backup, version control, and rapid post-disaster recovery, and will be available to all project
partners for analysis and training.
5.6. Data and Code Sharing: See details provided in the Resource Sharing Plan.
6. Clinical Management Plan
6.1. Clinical site selection: Our consortium partners have been conducting lab and human surveillance
research, including during outbreaks, for >20 years and have developed strong relationships with local clinical
facilities and processes in SE Asia and in LMIC globally. The plan for selection of clinical sites will begin in the
same geographic regions as those identified in Aim 1 with high zoonotic viral diversity. Clinical sites will
additionally serve as the catchment healthcare facilities for people in our community-based surveillance of Aim
2. We have already developed successful working relationships with the major healthcare facilities in Thailand
and Malaysia and will use these established partners to rapidly gain appropriate permits and begin data
collection quickly. Focusing on these EID hotspots in select biogeographic areas (see Fig 13) also reduces the
number of additional sites needed to meet our goals within our geographic range. The capacity and capability
requirements for clinical sites are fairly minimal, and include ability to enroll patients that meet the clinical case
definitions of interest, collect and temporarily store biological samples, and follow standards for data
management and subject protection with locked filing cabinets to store all paper records and an encrypted
computer. We will be enrolling inpatient and outpatient participants within 10 days of the presentation of
symptoms to increase the chance of PCR detection of viruses so we will not wait for advanced normative
diagnostic tests, that are likely unavailable in the more remote sites, to be completed. We will work with clinical
sites to determine the best process for project staff, in most cases supporting the time of currently hired staff at
each site. We will recruit and train hospital staff in project-specific procedures including enrollment of patients,
sample types to be collected, storage of samples, administration of the questionnaire, and data management
plans. During the development and on boarding of new clinical sites we will assess the physical needs of the
site and what supplies will be required for collection of data.
6.2. Standardized approach, oversight, and implementation: Management and oversite for all study sites
will be undertaken by the local country coordinator with support from our Core Administrative team at EHA. Our
research team has over 10 years of experience building capacity on human subjects' research and has
developed training resources and materials for standardized implementation of community and clinical
research and SOPs for screening, enrollment, and retention of participants. The country coordinator will
conduct regular site visits to the clinical sites and annual visits to observe, monitor and evaluate the research
process, and conduct follow-up training if required. Through our work with clinical sites under the USAIDPREDICT project we have developed culturally appropriate screening measures for clinal sites that do not
disrupt the flow or quality of medical treatment received by the patient. This was done by working collectively
with clinical staff to evaluate current procedures and patient flow at the site to determine the most efficient
while minimal invasive inclusion of our study into the daily working of the clinal site. Most efficiently this was
done by adding minimal basic screening questions to the current clinal intake forms, which allows the clinal
research officer to quickly scan charts or logs for potential patients to enroll avoiding potential enrollees from
being overlooked if staff are too busy or not on duty. Patients will be enrolled following established clinical
criteria (see Section 6.3), samples collected and brief surveys conducted to assess the participants contact
with wildlife through: 1) occupational exposures; 2) animal contact; and 3) the environment. With permission

research officer to quickly scan charts or logs for potential patients to enroll avoiding potential enrollees from
being overlooked if staff are too busy or not on duty. Patients will be enrolled following established clinical
criteria (see Section 6.3), samples collected and brief surveys conducted to assess the participants contact
with wildlife through: 1) occupational exposures; 2) animal contact; and 3) the environment. With permission

from each clinic, and consent from participants, we will review clinical records to collect data on medical
history, clinical syndromes, and patient etiology. Additionally, we will be following up with clinical participants to
determine how clinical presentation differs between CoV, henipavirus, or FV in exposed and unexposed
participants, as well as in the time course of illness, severity of symptoms, and type of symptoms. The country
coordinator will be continually monitoring the project database to ensure we hit target sample sizes. While
patient's enrollment is limited by the number of individuals presenting at hospitals, in previous research we
enrolled an average of 105 patients per year, ranging from 77-244.
6.3. Clinical cohort setup, recruitment, enrollment: We will recruit inpatients and outpatients from clinical
sites to participate in the study after initial screening to determine if they meet the clinical case definitions for 1)
severe/acute respiratory illness (SARI/ARI); 2) Influenza-like illness (ILi); 3) fever of unknown origin (FUO); 4)
encephalitis; 5) hemorrhagic fever, of unknown etiology or severe diarrhea with unusual presentation for
symptoms to increase the chance of PCR detection of viruses. Once enrolled, biological samples will be
collected by trained hospital staff. When possible, samples will be taken concurrently with samples being
collected for normative diagnostics. We will collect 5ml of blood for whole blood and serum collection, samples
will be aliquoted, at least one max. 500 µL whole blood; two 500 µL serum samples and two nasal or
oropharyngeal swabs will be collected. Controls who test positive for CoVs, FVs, or Henipaviruses will be
selected from the pool of participants admitted to the studies and whose samples tested negative for
coronaviruses, henipavirus, or filoviruses. We will follow up 35 days after enrollment to collect an additional
5ml blood draw for collection of two 500 µL serum samples and a standardized questionnaire supplement to
collect additional data on the course of symptoms in the interim period. Following up 35 days post initial
collection gives adequate time for 1) development of lgG and lgM, which occurs <28 days after onset of
symptoms to evaluate the immunological progression of disease and 2) further the risk assessment of the
participants to monitor contact with wildlife, people, and to assess the likely reservoir hosts to collect
information to inform potential intervention programs.
6.4. Utilization of collected data: Sampling of wildlife and the enrollment of community surveillance
participants and a clinical cohort of participants give us the ability to assess the viruses that are circulating in
each of the three populations in a similar geographic region. We will use phylogenetic analysis to compare the
relationship between wildlife viruses found and viruses fond in human participants. Additionally, the
questionnaire data will allow us to assess relative measures of human-wildlife contact that we will analyze the
intensity of contact with species known to be at a higher risk for spillover against other risk to provide useful
proxy information for spillover risk. The clinical cohort will be split into cases and controls. "Cases" are defined
as participants whose samples tested positive for either CoV, henipavirus, or FV via PCR tests. "Controls" will
be selected from the pool of participants admitted to the studies and whose samples tested negative. We will
use nearest neighbor matching to pair cases demographically (e.g. age, sex, location) with controls at a 1-to-3
ratio or greater. In clinical study, we will use this procedure to determine how clinical presentation differs
between virus-exposed and -unexposed participants, as well as in the time course of illness, severity of
symptoms, and type of symptoms. We will model the outcomes to analyze correlation between biological
results and risk factors related to high risk wildlife exposure. With this collective data set we aim to quantify and
detect novel viruses likely to spillover regularly to people, are often unreported or misdiagnosed as their clinical
manifestations, and are unknown to detect cryptic outbreaks causing previously 'hidden' clinical syndromes in
people. Our strategy for targeted surveillance and detection of spillover and illness in at-risk human
populations can be used as an 'early warning system' to conduct public health interventions and disrupt
disease emergence.
6.5. Development of reagents of value to the community~ Members of the EID-SEARCH consortium have
substantial experience producing reagents, assays, and other products that are used widely by the clinical and
research community, and some of which are on a pathway to commercialization. These include: Pis Daszak
and Co-I Olival have produced software for analyzing the spread of novel viral agents through air travel
networks; Co-I Barie has collaborated with a Norovirus surveillance collaboration with surveillance cohort at
CDC and has developed therapeutics that have reached phase 2 and 3 clinical trials, He is currently working
with Takeda Sanofi Pasteur on a Dengue therapeutic and with NIH on a tetravalent vaccine; Co-I Broder

developed a Hendra virus subunit vaccine that was commercially produced by Zoetis for horses and is labeled
for human use under compassionate circumstances during outbreak situations.
6.6. Potential expansion: Expansion of the research project to other clinical sites or research areas could
happen as new information is gathered, either through our research, the EID-SEARCH information network, or
an outbreak being identified in the region by other organizations. If expansion is required we would rapidly
shift research activities towards the clinical or community sites where the outbreak is active, using the same
process we used to set up initial research locations. First, by working with local stakeholders to create a
working relationship and on-boarding new clinical research staff through advanced trainings of project aims,
SOPs on data collection and storage, and ethical guidelines. The network of infectious disease researchers in
the community and hospital settings would allow for an accelerated response to any potential infectious
disease outbreaks as staff are well trained on ethical guidelines for working with human subjects, data and
specimen collection, storage, and transpiration, project staff would be on the front lines ready for the call to
action. Ideally, our testing for viruses in priority viral families may lead to the discovery cryptic outbreaks before
it spreads in the general public. Biological results coupled with survey data on key risk factors will provided
necessary information for granular understand of disease spread.
7. Statistical Analysis Plan:
7.1. Framework: Statistical analyses across the project will be conducted under a common Bayesian
framework. These models provide a unified, probabilistic approach best-suited for estimating effect sizes in
heterogenous populations of human clinical and wildlife subjects in observational studies. Within this Bayesian
framework, we will use generalized linear mixed models to estimate population prevalences and
seroprevalences, and estimate the effects of demographic, occupational and environmental factors affecting
these. We will use occupancy models (223) to estimate total viral species and strain diversity and
completeness of sampling within the human and wildlife sub-populations, and discrete phylogeographic models
to identify taxonomic and geographic centers of viral diversification. All statistical analyses will be performed
reproducibly using scripted, programmatic workflows (e.g., the Rand Stan languages) and maintained under
source code version control (git). As with data management, the OMA team will act as trainers and consultants
for exploratory data analysis, power analysis, and study design with project partners, and the EHA computing
cluster will be available for partners undertaking additional or expansion studies. Power analyses, current and
expansion, are performed via simulation approaches allowing planning for complex, hierarchical variation in
study populations. Power analyses and specific analytical components of this study are detailed under each
Specific Aim.
7.2. Data Quality Control and Data Harmonization: All data will be are examined at entry by field and lab
teams upon data entry, followed by examination by OMA team members at upload and integration, for
complete de-identification, completeness, accuracy, and logical consistency. The OMA will provide field and
lab teams with reports, produced automatically, of data summaries, including aggregates, distribution, detected
outliers and possible mis-entries. On a regular basis (quarterly or as-needed during data collection), OMA team
members will review reports with field and lab teams to identify errors and update collection and entry
procedures as necessary.
7.3. Statistical Considerations for Behavioral Questionnaires and Clinical Metadata: The data collected
from the questionnaire will be analyzed to assess the reported measures of contact for each risk group under
study, related to1) occupation and occupational exposures; 2) observed or reported interactions with priority
wildlife, especially bats, rodents, and primates in/around house and other livestock animals (e.g. farming,
butchering, slaughtering); 3) proximity of residence or workplace to environments of increased risks (e.g.
nearby bat roosts); 4) working or regular visitor to animal markets; 5) self-reported ILi/SARi clinical diagnosis
or symptoms in the past 12 months and lifetime. Specific measures we are interested in are the proportion of
respondents indicating they consume wildlife, where wildlife is obtained for consumption, have hunted wildlife,
butchered or slaughtered live animals, seen wildlife in their homes, been bitten or scratched by animals, etc.
Comparisons of measures of exposure contacts and types between men and women, children and adults,
different study regions will be conducted in order to explore the occupational, environmental, and demographic
factors (gender, age, socioeconomic status (SES)) that influence contact with animals and to determine who is

most at-risk. Statistical analysis will be employed to identify differences between groups with a 95% probably of
detecting a difference. Measures of contact related to different activities within specific groups will be
compared to determine the activities that put groups at most risk. As appropriate multivariate analysis (e.g.
ordinary linear regression, logistic regression, non-normal distributions of outcome, least absolute shrinkage
and selection operator (LASSO) regression, etc.) will be utilized to evaluate the relationship between the
outcome variables, positive biological results (PCR or serology) key measures of contact and the factors that
influence frequency and types of human-animal contact.

Section 2 - Study Population Characteristics (Study 1)
2.1. Conditions or Focus of Study
0 Humans living in geographic hotspot areas/close contact with wild animals
2.2. Eligibility Criteria
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
Participants to be enrolled in this study will be individuals from Thailand (Ratchaburi and Chonburi provinces), Peninsular
Malaysia, Sabah Malaysia, or Sarawak# 12 years old living or working around wildlife habitats (e.g. bat caves/roosts), those
who hunt wildlife, work with wildlife or livestock farming, transportation, selling, or slaughtering wildlife or visiting or working
in high-risk sites (e.g. wildlife markets) who meet the inclusion criteria outlined below. Study sites are prioritized based on the
hotspot geographic areas described in Aim 1, according to ecological and epidemiological conditions associated with a high
risk for the coronaviruses, henipaviruses, filoviruses spillover.
Research participants will be enrolled in two settings:
1. Community - We aim to enroll and collect biological samples and survey responses individuals' living, working, or visiting
targeted high-risk communities (as defined above) who have close contact with wildlife, specifically bats, rodents, non-human
primates, with a range of exposures to these animals. Enrolled research participants will be asked to provide biological
samples and complete a questionnaire that is designed to obtain detailed information into wildlife contact frequency and
exposures related to: 1) occupation and occupational exposures; 2) observed or reported interactions with priority wildlife,
especially bats, in/around house and other livestock animals (e.g. farming, butchering, slaughtering); 3) proximity of residence
or work place to environments of increased risks, e.g. nearby bat roosts; 4) working or regular visitor to animal markets;
5) self-reported symptoms relating to a) severe/acute respiratory illness (SARI/ARI); b) Influenza-like illness (ILi); c) fever
of unknown origin (FUO); d) encephalitis; ore) hemorrhagic fever; or f) diarrhea in combination with any of the previously
mentioned illnesses within the 12 months and lifetime.
Additional inclusion criteria:
Adults (18 years of age or older) who provide informed consent
Children aged 12-17 years of age who provide assent along with an accompanying parent or guardian who is able to
provide informed consent and

INCLUSION OF WOMEN AND MINORITIES:
This study will enroll men and women, including pregnant women, as study participants. Subjects will be
enrolled in this study without regard to ethnicity.
Women who volunteer to participate are not at an increased risk based on pregnancy status and are at
the same exposure risk as non-pregnant women. Every effort will be made to protect the privacy, dignity,
and well-being of all study participants especially special populations who participate in this study.
Individuals in sub-sites in selected geographic hotspot regions will be the primary mechanism for
identifying subjects. We will make every effort to have men and women equally represented in this study
and no individuals will be excluded based on ethnicity.
• At community sites, living or working around wildlife habitats (e.g. bat caves/roosts), who hunt
wildlife, work with wildlife or livestock farming, transportation, selling, or slaughtering wildlife in the
surveyed areas will be the primary criteria for identifying participants in community.
• At clinic sites, only patients who present at the healthcare facility who meet the clinical case
definition of 1) severe/acute respiratory illness (SARI/ARI); 2) Influenza-like illness (ILi); 3) fever
of unknown origin (FUO); 4) encephalitis; or 5) hemorrhagic fever; or 6) diarrhea in combination
with any of the previously mentioned illnesses of unknown etiology will be recruited for this study,
and no patients will be excluded based on ethnicity or gender.
INCLUSION OF CHILDREN:
Children aged 12-17 years will be included in this study, and there will be no maximum age restriction
for adults, at both community and clinical sites
• Previous clinic-based studies have shown that children are one of the major populations who
present to healthcare facilities with severe/acute respiratory illness (SARI/ARI), Influenza-like
illness (ILi), or fever of unknown origin (FUO). Our behavioral study in Thailand and Malaysia
also suggested the close contact with wild animals among children in the study regions via
activities of animal hunting, trade, or butchering.
• Children aged 12 years or older are post-primary school in Thailand and Malaysia and are able to
comprehend and respond to the questionnaire autonomously which increases the reliability of
responses. We will not enroll children aged 12-17 years without an accompanying parent or
guardian who is able to provide informed consent, or a child aged 12-17 who is unable to or
unwilling to provide assent.
• Children under age 12 in target communities are mainly school children who have very limited
exposures to wild animals under the scenarios of interest to the study, and ethically we do not want to
collect or enroll participants without strong scientific need for inclusion. We will not enroll children who
are wars of the state
• Every effort will be made to protect the privacy, dignity, and well-being of children who participate
in this study. Our in-country human research team are well-trained medical doctors and
researchers who have extensive experience working with children, as well as their parents, at
both community and clinical settings. Prior to the start of human subject research activities, all
research staff will be CITl-trained and further trained on conducting ethical human subject
research training including a module on the special considerations for working with children

RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION PLAN
In order to improve recruitment within target communities, introductory visits will be made by project staff to
each of the selected sub-sites. These visits will be advertised through word of mouth and a project description
letter to village/town/city leaders and letters that can be posted or shared in a central community location. The
letter will inform the community that a team will be coming on a particular day(s) to enroll voluntary participants
and after discuss health issues related to animal contact. This letter will be for informational sharing not be
used for recruitment purposes. It will only be used to inform the community of the research visits. The project
description letter will be written in the local language with a Flesch-Kincaid readability score equivalent to a 7th
grade reading level or below (primary school in Thailand and Malaysia), to assure that community leaders and
potential community participants understand the study purpose, eligibility, and inclusion guidelines.
Community visits will begin with discussions and meetings with local authorities and community leaders to
introduce ourselves and our project, and when appropriate following approval from local authorities, the study
team will post flyers to inform the community when the team will be speaking about enrollment and later
coming back to enroll interested individuals. Attending this "town hall" style meeting will be completely
voluntary and based on our experience, those interested are likely to attend. Although local authorities may be
present to introduce the study team members, they will not be involved in the recruitment and/or consent of the
participants for the study. Individuals will be clearly informed during the recruitment process that their
participation in the study is voluntary. If research visits or recruitment events are held at a workplace
individuals choice of involvement will not impact their employment, nor will information discussed be shared
with employers. With local permissions and accompanied by local community leaders, district health officers, or
authorities the study team members will engage in community town halls and 'walkabouts' during which they
will discuss study details, dates, times, and locations for enrollment and participation in the study.
Participation in the study will be strictly voluntary and will require signed informed consent for all participants
and signed assent for participants aged 12-17 along with parent or guardian consent. During the enrollment
process interested individuals will be given a consent form and research staff will read the consent form to
potential participants. Together they will review the consent form and study staff will explain details of the study
including: why they were selected, what the study procedures are and what will be expected from them,
potential risks and benefits of their participation, that their participation is completely voluntary, and that they
can withdraw their participation at any time. After reviewing the consent form individuals will be given as much
time as needed to ask questions. At that time if individuals wish to participate they will sign two copies of the
consent form and it will be countersigned by the research staff, with a copy given to the participant for their
records. Included in the consent form is the contact information for local research staff and a local IRB contact
for participants if they have questions in the future. Responses will be kept strictly confidential. Measures will
be taken to assure the privacy, dignity, and respect of each participant. Ethical human subjects research
methods will be a focus in all training of research staff, we will emphasize the importance of avoiding coercion
during enrollment and protecting the privacy of participants.
Community-based recruitment: Participants from the community will be recruited through town hall meetings
and community 'walkabouts' as described above. Meeting dates, times, and locations for enrollment and
participation will be shared during these activities, and individuals who wish to enroll can volunteer to
participate at these times and locations.
Clinic-based recruitment: Patients eligible for enrollment will be identified during standard intake procedures
or from overnight intake logs, or in the emergency room, ward, or intensive care unit of each participating clinic
or hospital by collaborating clinic staff. Employed staff at each location will identify potential participants
meeting the clinical case definition of 1) severe/acute respiratory illness (SARI/ARI); 2) Influenza-like illness
(ILi); 3) fever of unknown origin (FUO); 4) encephalitis; 5) hemorrhagic fever; or 6) diarrhea in combination with
any of the previously mentioned illnesses of unknown etiology. Patients will be screened for eligibility according
to the inclusion/exclusion criteria based on available clinical information and clinical presentation.
We have set a minimum target enrollment sample size to detect live virus in patients at each hospital assuming
a population prevalence of 1% with a 95% probability. We will work with the local institution review board to
determine the maximum enrollment of patients without undue burden on the population. However, in larger

regularly evaluate enrollment logs to be sure we are prepared to collect samples throughout the length of the
sample collection timeline as to not miss a change in circulating virus. If we need to control the number of
patients being enrolled at a hospital interval sampling will be implemented by selecting every Nth case of those
individuals who meet enrollment criteria. The interval will be determined in collaboration with the local research
staff and implementing partners based on an evaluation of the enrolled participants to date and expected
number of cases presenting at the site within a given year in order to best meet study design and sample size
criteria and stay IRB compliant. In terms of retention, we will express our gratitude to subjects for their
participation and discuss the research importance of the follow-up data collection. Nonetheless, we expect to
have an approximate 40% loss to follow up and have included this in our sample size calculations.

PROTECTION OF HUMAN SUBJECTS:
1. Risks to Human Subjects
1.1 Human Subjects Involvement, Characteristics, and Design
This project is a study of human spillover and exposure to animal coronaviruses, henipaviruses, and
filoviruses in Southeast Asia, with active sample collection in Thailand and Malaysia and testing of
archived samples in Singapore. As there is substantial evidence that these viruses likely spillover
regularly to people, are often unreported or misdiagnosed and thus underestimated; and this targeted
surveillance and detection of spillover and illness in at-risk human populations can be used as an 'early
warning system' to conduct public health interventions and disrupt disease emergence Subjects will be
enrolled on a voluntary basis and informed consent will be obtained from all participants and assent from
all participants aged 12-17. Consenting participants will provide biological samples for PCR or serological
testing and complete a questionnaire to collect information on wildlife exposures and frequency. Subjects
will be individuals: 1) who are highly exposed to wildlife, specifically bats, rodents, and non-human
primates, in community settings, through hunting, butchering, or general handling within the context of
their living or working environments (::2:: 18 years old); and 2) patients admitted to hospitals and clinics
presenting with disease symptoms of clinically-defined 1) severe/acute respiratory illness (SARI/ARI); 2)
Influenza-like illness (ILi); 3) fever of unknown origin (FUO); 4) encephalitis; or 5) hemorrhagic fever; or 6)
diarrhea in combination with any of the previously mentioned illnesses of unknown etiology.
The study population will be selected from the subnational geographic hotspot regions listed in Aim 1. We
will enroll participants from: 1) communities at 4 sub-sites from each of the regions of interest in
Ratchaburi (Thailand), Chonburi (Thailand), Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah Malaysia, and Sarawak, 175
individuals from each of sub-site in the 5 regions will be collected and pooled across the region for a total
of 700 participants per region, allowing us to make region-level comparisons of differing effects, enrolling
a total of 3,500 participants; and 2) patients from the selected 2 town-level level clinics and 2 provinciallevel hospitals in each of the geographic regions of Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak,
we will enroll a minimum of 300 participants per clinic or hospital, for a total of 16 healthcare facilities and
4,800 total clinical participants. This will yield 2,880 participants that will be available for follow-up blood
sampling assuming for an estimated 40% loss from follow-up. The community and clinical sites are further
defined in Specific Aims 2 and 3.
There are no data to suggest a gender or ethnic bias for coronaviruses, henipaviruses, and filoviruses
exposure or infection, therefore individuals will be enrolled based on exposure criteria alone and
individuals will not be excluded based on ethnicity or gender. We will also monitor sampling enrollment to
ensure equal representation of sex, demographic, and socio-economic factors in each community site.
1.2 Sources of Materials
Biological samples to be collected and tested for coronaviruses, henipaviruses, and filoviruses include
whole blood, serum, and nasal/oropharyngeal swabs. Samples will be collected by locally trained medical
personnel and a questionnaire will be administered by research or collaborating staff from the local
hospitals and clinics.
In community sites, whole blood samples will be collected from participants one time during the data
collection period during Years 2-5 of the study. The whole blood samples will be aliquoted into at least one
max. 500 µL whole blood and two 500 µL serum samples. Samples will be tested for coronaviruses,
henipaviruses, and filoviruses using developed ELISA by consortium partners. For participants who report
the symptoms relating to 1) severe/acute respiratory illness (SARI/ARI); 2) Influenza-like illness (ILi); 3)
fever of unknown origin (FUO); 4) encephalitis; or 5) hemorrhagic fever; or 6) diarrhea in combination with
any of the previously mentioned illnesses of unknown etiology within the last 10 days, an additional
sample type will be collected, nasal or oropharyngeal swabs (2x). These samples will be marked for
additional PCR-based assays to identify presence of known and novel coronaviruses, henipaviruses and

filoviruses, and for isolation and biological characterization of potential pathogens if PCR results are
positive.
In clinic sites, both whole blood samples and nasal/oropharyngeal swabs will be collected at enrollment,
whole blood samples will be aliquoted into at least one max. 500 µL whole blood and two 500 µL serum
samples. Samples will be tested for coronaviruses, henipaviruses, and filoviruses using consensus PCR
(cPCR). We will follow up 35 days after enrollment to collect an additional blood sample of 5ml to be
separated and aliquoted into a minimum of two 500 µL serum samples that will be serological tested with the
developed ELISA assay.
All blood samples will be kept frozen for future harvesting of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) for
those study participants whose serum tests are positive for emerging viral pathogens. These will be used for
harvesting polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies as potential therapeutics.
During data collection a standardized questionnaire will be administered to both community and clinic
participants. This survey will collect data on exposure type and frequency with wildlife focusing on: 1)
occupation and occupational exposures; 2) observed or reported interactions with wildlife, especially bats,
rodents, and non-human primates, in/around house; 3) proximity of residence or workplace to
environments of increased risks, e.g. nearby bat roosts; 4) working or regular visitor to animal markets; 5)
self-reported ILi/SARi clinical diagnosis or symptoms in the past 12 months. During the follow-up with
clinic participants a standardized questionnaire supplement will be administered to collect additional data
on the course of symptoms in the interim period. All electronic data will be password protected, and all
hardcopy files and biological samples will be stored in secure storage facilities. All consent forms and
participant logs will be stored separately from research data in locked filing cabinets.
1.3 Potential Risks
The potential risks to study participants as a result of study participation are minimal. The biological
specimen will be collected by locally certified healthcare professionals proficient in phlebotomy techniques,
the volume of blood being collected is within normal safety limits and the swab sample is not overly
invasive. The questionnaire will be designed to assess exposure risk and may ask personal questions,
however, administration will be conducted privately and confidentially to protect individuals' personal
health and exposure information. There may be some stress or discomfort for participants who are
informed that they have been exposed to a zoonotic virus, to reduce this counseling will be available and
options for future medical care will be included in the discussion with the health official or physician
reporting results back to individuals.
2. Adequacy of Protection against Risks
2.1 Recruitment and Informed Consent
Potential study participants at each site will be recruited after obtaining local permissions and support from
local community leaders, district health officers, and/or authorities the study team members will engage in
community town hall meetings and 'walkabouts' during which they will discuss study details, dates, times, and
locations for enrollment and participation in the study for individuals who wish volunteer to participate. The
team will be trained on conducting ethical human subjects research before the commencement of data
collection and enrollment of participants. This will include the importance of avoiding coercion during
enrollment, protecting the privacy of participants, how to effectively communicate the research objectives,
what is being asked of participants, any risks or benefits to participation, with sufficient support to be able
to address any questions that potential participants may have. Training will also include a module on
special populations for advanced training on working with minors during human subjects research. During
the enrollment process interested individuals will be given a consent form in the local language and research
staff will read the consent form to potential participants, via an interpreter in local dialects if necessary.
Together they will review the consent form and study staff will explain details of the study including: why they
were selected, what the study procedures are and what will be expected from them, potential risks and benefits
of their participation, that their participation is completely voluntary, and that they can withdraw their
participation at any time. After reviewing the consent form individuals will be given as much time as needed to

ask questions. At that time if individuals wish to participate they will sign two copies of the consent form and it
will be countersigned by the research staff, with a copy given to the participant for their records. Contact
details for local research staff member, a local IRS contact, and project Pl will be provided to all subjects in
the consent form to answer any future questions or requests for withdrawal participants may have.
2.2 Protection against Risks
Biological sample collection: collection of whole blood samples and nasal or oropharyngeal swab samples
pose minimal risk to subjects. The potential complications associated with whole blood draw include pain
and/or hematoma at the site of venipuncture. Nasal or oropharyngeal swab sample collection may cause minor
irritation at the time of collection. To protect against and minimize potential complications, all biological
sampling will be done by a locally trained and certified healthcare professional and/or clinic staff, and the
sample collection sites will be monitored according to existing health facility protocols.
Risk factor questionnaire survey: potential risks associated with the administration of the questionnaire may be
discomfort or concern providing responses related to wild animal contact or consumption if practices are taboo
or prohibited by local laws. To minimize this risk, questionnaire data will be collected in a strictly confidential
manner. The questionnaire will be conducted in private, ensuring that others cannot overhear participant
responses and a barrier will be used or created so that no other individuals can view the participants.
Depending on the location, this could be a private room, behind a building or fence, or behind a line of trees,
obstructing view so that confidentiality may be maintained. The interview team will take care to pair
interviewers and participants by sex to the best of their ability to increase the level of comfort of the participant
and the team will ensure the privacy and confidentiality of response data. Children aged 12-17 will not be
interviewed in the absence of a parent or guardian. Every effort will be made to ensure the privacy, dignity, and
well-being of children and adults who participate in this study. In addition, identifying information will not be
linked to responses, and data will be stored in secure, password protected files or locked secure storage
facilities.
Participants may feel some stress or discomfort if informed that they have been exposed to a known or
novel zoonotic virus, to reduce this counseling will be available and options for future medical care will be
included in the discussion with the health official or physician reporting results back to individuals.
Additionally, we will provide participating hospitals, clinicians, and community leaders with information and
background data on relevant zoonotic viruses.
3. Potential Benefits to Subjects and Others
There are no measurable benefits to the individual study participants enrolled in this study. There may
be secondary benefits including receiving a physical exam/health check from a medical officer at the
time of enrollment or advanced non-diagnostic testing assays that add clarity medical history for clinic
participants. There are also benefits to the community and regional healthcare providers understand
the risk of zoonotic infections among high-risk populations. At the conclusion of the study, we will
deliver an educational workshop reporting study findings that will be open to both study and non-study
participants, describing the health benefits of using PPE and hand-washing during animal handling
activities throughout the day, as well as to share other prevention interventions that emerge from the
research data.
4. The Importance of Knowledge to be Gained
There are valuable potential benefits to the general public from the knowledge to be gained from this
study. One key benefit of this study to the community an understanding the risk of zoonotic spillover events
among high-risk populations. This strategy for targeted surveillance and detection of spillover and illness in
at-risk human populations can be used as an 'early warning system' to conduct public health interventions
and disrupt disease emergence. As well as share information with communities on practices that could
reduce exposure and related health risks such as the avoidance of particular animals or the need for PPE
and extra care when handling wildlife may substantially reduce the risk zoonotic pathogen transmission.

SINGLE INSTITUIONAL REVIEW BOARD (slRB)
In compliance with the NIH Policy on the use of a single IRB of record for multi-site research EcoHealth
Alliance will prepare, submit, and work the institutional review board that follows the ethical standards set forth
by the HHS regulations at 45 CFR 46. Once this single IRB is approved in the US it will functions as the IRB of
record and will be relied on at all planned sites and any future sites.
We are currently anticipating working with Hummingbird I RB to serve as the IRB of record for all study sites. All
of our local research partners, partner institutions, and study staff will rely on the IRB protocol that is approved
at the IRB of record for all planned and future sites where data collection will occur. All data collection
(biological and questionnaire) procedures and protocols and consent processes will be conducted using the
same protocols outlined in the approved IRB of record and consistent for all location sites. The approved
protocol at IRB of record will serve as the foundation for all locally submitted IRB packages in all partner
countries, Thailand, Malaysia, and potential Singapore for inclusion of archived samples for testing.
EcoHealth Alliance will submit for IRB approval and maintain all records, and annually manage and submit for
continuing review approvals at the IRB of record. Additionally, EcoHealth Alliance will manage the
authorization and reliance agreements between partners and implementation the communication plan. Each
partner implementing human subjects research in Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore will maintain regular
communication with scheduled updates to the EcoHealth Alliance point of contact on enrollment and
recruitment numbers, breakdown of enrollment of special populations and report any adverse events within 8
hours if not sooner.
Prior to commencing study enrollment or sample testing, the partner organization that is managing human
subjects enrollment in Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore will sign a reliance agreement that will acknowledge
the role of the I RB of record and responsibilities of the participating institutional partners.

VERTEBRATE ANIMALS
1. Detailed description of animal use.
Work with vertebrate animals will be conducted in Thailand and Malaysia for field sampling (collection of
diagnostic clinical specimens) of free-ranging mammals; and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA
and the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratory (NEIDL), Boston, USA for mouse model experimental
infections.
Wild animal captures:
Capture and sampling techniques for all wild animals (bats, rodents and non-human primates) described in this
study have been previously approved by multiple Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUCs) for
projects led by EcoHealth Alliance. These institutions include: UC Davis IACUC (Mazet and Epstein; UC Davis
15898; current); and The Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University (Oliva!, Phelps, and
Epstein, current), Animal Welfare Assurance (#A4059-01) on file with the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare at
the National Institutes of Health. We have a draft IACUC application for this proposed project, and will submit it
within 2 month of the project's start date (to Tufts University) to minimize delays in beginning Year 1 field
sampling.
Bats: Free-ranging bats will be captured using either a mist net or harp trap. The net system is manned by two
people during the entire capture period, and bats are removed from the net as soon as they become entangled
to minimize stress and prevent injury. In the Co-ls Oliva! experience, a maximum of 20-30 bats can be safely
held and processed by a team of three people per trapping period. Duration of trapping will depend on the capture
rate. Bats are placed into a pillowcase or small cloth bag and hung from a branch or post in a cool place until
samples are collected. Bats are held for a maximum of six hours (typically less than 3 hours), and released after
sampling.
Rodents: Free-ranging rodents will be captured through pit traps and box traps. Food, water and shelter will be
provided. Traps will be checked a minimum of twice daily, in the morning and in the afternoon. If adverse weather
(extreme heat, rain) is expected or researchers are working in areas where predation is common, traps will be
checked more frequently, and closed during the adverse weather. Padding, shelter and food and water will be
provided in traps.
Non-human primates: Free-ranging and captive non-human primates will be chemically restrained (by darting
with anesthetic or through manual chemical injection), and handled only for the duration of sampling. Where
possible, small primates (<15 kg) will be captured with nets, using a hoop and mesh size appropriate to the size
of the animal. Alternatively, medium sized primates (e.g. free-ranging macaques) will be captured using metal
traps placed on flat ground in a secure area or on a pallet constructed on a tree. Trapped animals will be
transferred to a transfer cage placed against a sliding door and covered.
Sample Collection from wild animals:
Bats: Bats will be manually restrained during sampling. Depending on the species and size of bat, swabs will be
taken from the oropharynx, urogenital tract, and rectum. Fresh feces will be collected if available, in which case
a rectal swab will not be collected. Blood will be collected from smaller insectivorous bats ( <50g) using a 27g
needle to puncture the brachia! artery and a 70ul hematocrit tube to collect the blood. For larger bats (>50g) we
will collect blood from either the cephalic vein or from the radial artery or vein using a 25 or 23 gauge needle and
3cc syringe.
Rodents: Anesthesia for captive small rodents will be conducted using plastic tubes, with the animals transferred
directly from the traps to the tubes containing a cotton swab soaked in ether, isoflurane, or methoxyflurane for
anesthetic induction. For larger rodents, chemical restraint and anesthesia (ketamine alone, or ketamine
combined with xylazine) will be applied either through the squeeze cages by syringe if applicable. Once
anesthetized a small blood sample will be collected using a capillary tube placed into the retro-orbital sinus. Only
trained technicians will perform retro-orbital bleeding and it will only be performed on anesthetized rodents.

Femoral or jugular venipuncture may be used for larger rodents (e.g. rats). In all rodents, blood volumes of no
more than 1% of body weight will be withdrawn. (example 0.2 ml blood from a 20 gram rodent).
Non-human primates: Chemical immobilization of any small primate species will be preceded by accurate
weight determination. For anesthesia, ketamine (8-15 mg/kg depending on animal size) or a combination of
tiletamine/zolazepam (7-8mg/kg in smaller animals; 4-6mg/kg in medium sized animals; 3-4mg/kg in larger
animals; and 2- 3mg/kg in great apes) or ketamine/medetomidine (3.5 mg/kg ketamine and 0.035 mg/kg of
medetomidine), or ketamine/xylazine (1 00mg/ml each) in a 1 :1 ratio at a dose of 1 0mg/kg IM will be administered,
using low doses where possible to allow for relatively rapid sampling. Caution will be taken when administering
chemical immobilizing drugs to animals in estrus to prevent against hemorrhage of the tumescent area.
Immobilized animals will be allowed to recover in isolation. Sampling procedures for non-human primates will
include venipuncture; fecal, urine, and external parasite collection; biopsy of lesions and/or skin samples for
genetic testing; oral, nasal, urogenital and anal swabs, plucked hair and milk if/when available. Blood samples
from larger primate species will primarily be collected from the forearm veins (cephalic, radial, median, and ulnar
veins). In smaller species, the femoral or caudal saphenous veins will be preferred. In very small non-human
primates the jugular vein may be the only option. Following handling and when appropriate, benzodiazepine
and alt a-2 agonist sedation will be chemically reversed, and the animal returned to its group of con-specifics in
the immediate vicinity of their capture, with appropriate obseNation.
Laboratory animals (mouse models):
The goal of these studies is to identify if novel high risk emerging coronaviruses (CoV), filoviruses (FVs) and
henipaviruses that circulate in bats and/or other reservoir species are poised for emergence in human
populations, and to assess pathogenicity for selected strains of Co Vs, FVs, and henipaviruses. High containment
BSL3 and BSL4 pathogens will be recovered from natural infections in reservoir species and/or humans, or
recovered from whole genome sequences by reverse genetics using synthetically derived molecular DNA clones.
Viruses will be used to infect classic laboratory mouse strains (eg, C57BL6/J), transgenic mice expressing
human entry receptors for different coronaviruses, filoviruses or henipaviruses, the Collaborative Cross Genetic
Reference populations, or mice reconstituted with the bat immune system designed to identify new mouse
models of human disease.
Animal experiments with mice will be performed at the University of North Carolina (UNG), Boston National
Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratory (NEIDL) in dedicated facilities under the direction of the research Pis.
Prior to infection studies, the animals will be maintained in Sealsafe TM HEPA-filtered air in/out unit or compatible
systems for at least one week prior to virus challenge. In addition, laboratory personnel inspect animals daily
and any animal in distress is immediately euthanized (moribund, unresponsive, loss of more than approved
percentage of starting weight). Animal care and housing follows IACUC recommendations and all personnel
have attended mandatory IACUC training courses. A trained veterinarian is always on call to assist with animal
care and husbandry. Below we summarize the description of procedures for each specific Aim, justifications,
minimization and pain and distress and methods for euthanasia.

Rationale: The goal of these studies are to use mouse models to assess human disease for novel viruses
discoved in wildlife populations. We note that many zoonotic viruses replicate poorly in rodents, requiring
adaptation. To circumvent this problem, we will use genetically distinct mouse resources (CC mice), mouse
strains expressing human entry receptors and standard laboratory mice to identify mouse models for studying
viral pathogenesis, as well as to evaluate vaccine and antiviral treatment regiments.
These studies require tractable experimental model organisms like the CC with sets of defined genetic
characteristics (enumerated as follows}. Genetically defined and immortal reference populations that allow
whole-organism study of natural variation is a powerful approach for modeling human disease susceptibility and
cannot be achieved by means other than the use of whole animal genetics. Mice are excellent model systems
to study human gene function for the following reasons:
a. The genome has been sequenced and there are many genetic tools available for follow-up and
complementary studies.
b. Mice share many aspects of anatomy, physiology, patterns of development, and control of gene expression
with humans.
c. The Collaborative Cross (CC) is a large panel of recombinant inbred strains that have been specifically
bred to randomize an extraordinarily large amount of genetic variants and has been designed to be an
optimal model of the human heterogeneous population while allowing further probing into tissue and celltype specific responses
d. The CC support integration of data across time, location, demography, and environments.
e. Reference populations of mice provide suitable whole-organism models for human viral infection
responses, which to date cannot be replicated faithfully by in vitro models.
f. The resource is portable and available worldwide.

2. Justify use of animals, choice of species, numbers to be used.
Wild animals: Species and number used in study: The purpose of this study is to conduct analyses to
geographically- and taxonomically-target testing of samples from wild mammals that are most likely to harbor
known high-profile zoonotic pathogens, or close relatives with potential to infect people. We will analyze archived
specimens and only collect additional specimens projected from each prioritized taxa to achieve statistically
robust sample sizes and to complement our archived specimens. Preliminary analysis indicates that, for all viral
target families, we will require ~14,000 new specimens from bats (equating to no more than 7000 individual
animals) to identify 80% of remaining bat viral species diversity in our study region, ~5,000 samples from
Thailand and ~9,000 samples from Malaysia. Viral strain diversity from a sampling effort this size is expected to
number in the hundreds of strains. For example, given ~6% prevalence of CoVs in bat species previously
sampled under the PREDICT project, a target of 14,000 individuals would yield ~800 PCR positive individuals,
representing, an estimated ~600 novel sequences/strains. Similarly, for PMVs, which have an average PCR
detection prevalence of ~ 1.5%, sampling of 14,000 individuals would yield ~200 positives and an estimated 150
novel strains. The required numbers of specimens to capture 80% of CoV and PMV viral diversity in free-ranging
rodents and NHP will be approximately half that of bats given lower levels of viral diversity we expect to capture,
for a total of no more than 7,000 specimens (equating to no more than 2300 individuals). Filovirus estimates are
not feasible yet due to the small number of positive samples in prior studies, but will be estimated as the project
begins.
Laboratory animals: This proposal aims to develop novel mouse models that display human disease
phenotypes following infection with phylogenetically unique zoonotic and human strains of these viruses. These
studies cannot be done without vertebrate animals. There is no in vitro system that accurately mimics virulence
of highly pathogenic viruses, or be able to predict disease outcomes following infection. At this time, there is no
substitute for in vivo efficacy studies. Our studies are designed with the fewest number of animals while retaining
statistical significance. The numbers of animals proposed in this study will provide robust statistical confidence
of our results.
The Collaborative Cross mice are genetically distinct so infection of these mouse strains can result in wildly
different clinical disease outcomes. As such, the CC model will identify unique lines that accurately recapitulate
many aspects of the human disease phenotypes and will provide essential information for the testing of vaccines
and drugs against these highly pathogenic RNA viruses.
3. Provide information on veterinary care. For wild caught animals, veterinary oversight will be provide by
EcoHealth Alliance's wildlife veterinarians, led by Senior Veterinarian, Dr. Field. Animals that are injured during
the capture or sampling process will be assessed by an experienced team leader, and if the animal is determined
to be unlikely to survive if released, it shall be euthanized humanely (see euthanasia section). Animals will be
released within hours of capture.
The UNC and NEIDL have veterinary staff and team of experienced animal care technicians who will oversee
the housing and care of bats used for experimental infections in their facilities.
4. Procedures for ensuring animal comfort, lack of distress, pain, or injury:
Wild animals: Wild animals will not be held longer than 6 hours during the sampling process. Co-ls Oliva! and
Phelps and Dr. Field from EHA, and co-ls Wacharapluesadee and Hughes (from Thailand and Malaysia,
respectively) have extensive experience in capture, anesthesia, and sampling wildlife, especially bats and will
lead oversight and training of field teams. In our team's experience, wild animals tolerate the described procedure
well. Mist nets will be attended continuously during capture periods, and bats will be extracted from the net as
soon as they become entangled. This will minimize stress and injury from entanglement. Bats will be placed
individually in cotton bags and hung from tree branches while awaiting processing and during recovery. The
bags are sufficiently porous as to allow for ventilation and are designed for bat capture. The enclosed

We note that wild-type EBOV, MARV, NiV, HeV and SARS-CoV CoV cause subclinical infections in standard
laboratory strain mice. It is anticipated that disease severity will increase in select CC mouse strains.
2. Justify use of animals, choice of species, numbers to be used.
Wild animals: Species and number used in study: The purpose of this study is to conduct analyses to
geographically- and taxonomically-target testing of samples from wild mammals that are most likely to harbor
known high-profile zoonotic pathogens, or close relatives with potential to infect people. We will analyze archived
specimens and only collect additional specimens projected from each prioritized taxa to achieve statistically
robust sample sizes and to complement our archived specimens. Preliminary analysis indicates that, for all viral
target families, we will require ~14,000 new specimens from bats (equating to no more than 7000 individual

environment seems to calm the bats, as they do not struggle once inside, but they hang quietly - this is a
standard and accepted practice in the bat research world and best way to minimize stress to the animal. Rodent
traps will be checked a minimum of twice daily, in the morning and in the afternoon. If adverse weather (extreme
heat, rain) is expected or researchers are working in areas where predation is common, traps will be checked
more frequently, and closed during the adverse weather. Padding, shelter and food and water will be provided
in rodent traps. Animals will be monitored by a veterinarian or experienced field team member during all stages
of capture, processing, and release. Animals will be kept in a cool place while in the pillowcases.
Laboratory animals: Mouse adapted strains of SARS- and MERS-CoV replicate efficiently in the lungs of mice
and may produce significant disease in young and aged animals, including acute onset respiratory distress
syndrome, a clinically devastating end stage lung disease with 50% mortality rates. It is unclear whether newly
discovered SARS-like or MERS-like coronaviruses or other bat viruses will cause severe disease in mice. Mice
will be closely monitored daily for signs of clinical disease. Since analgesics may affect the outcome of infections,
analgesics will not be used and we will rely on close monitoring and euthanasia of sick animals to prevent undue
pain and suffering. In general, animals will be euthanized if they approach losing >25% of their starting weight;
we recognize that this is a significant weight loss, but it is acceptable in these studies as some animals can
recover from >25% weight loss after highly pathogenic coronavirus infection. We will euthanize moribund
animals, regardless of weight loss criteria. Euthanasia will be performed by overdose with isoflurane. This will
immediately be followed by organ harvest/exsanguinations, as prior treatment with these agents ensure that the
animals will not suffer during this procedure due to operator error. This approach was chosen because
unconsciousness and death occur quickly and the method is consistent with the recommendations of the Panel
on Euthanasia of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
5. Euthanasia
Wild animals: In the event of injury to a wild animal in the field that results in pain and suffering, and
reasonable veterinary care is unavailable, the animal will be euthanized by a veterinarian or trained field team
member using ketamine injected intramuscularly 37.Smg/kg and sodium pentobarbital injected intravenously at
a dose of 1.0ml per 5kg injected intravenously or intraperitoneally. This protocol is in accordance with the
AVMA euthanasia guidelines (2013). Any animal that is euthanized using a chemical agent will be disposed
such that it will not be permitted to enter the food supply either through markets or hunting.
Criteria for euthanasia for mice: Mice will be euthanized (isoflurane overdose followed by organ harvest) at
the point at which they become moribund, lose over 20 percent of their starting weight (or up to 30 percent of
their starting weight if the animals are being maintained under the weight loss exception), reach a clinical score
of 4 or higher or reach pre-determined endpoints (ranging from 1 to 7 days post infection), whichever comes
first.
0. No clinical signs
1. Ruffled fur.
2. Ruffled fur with hunched posture (only slight or no signs of dehydration)
3. As above with more severe signs of dehydration and some loss of body strength, some loss of spontaneous
morbidity
4. Marked loss of spontaneous morbidity and pronounced dehydration
5. Moribund: unresponsive to stimuli and pronounced eye squint
-All scores except 5 can be qualified with a 0.5 for severity
-Any mouse that reaches a clinical score of 4 or more will be euthanized immediately
Criteria for euthanasia for bats: Bats will be euthanized (isoflurane overdose followed by organ harvest) at
the point at which they become moribund, lose over 20 percent of their starting weight, reach a clinical score of
4 or higher or reach pre-determined endpoints (ranging from 1 to 7 days post infection), whichever comes first.
0. No clinical signs
1. Decreased activity, behavioral abnormalities.
2. Difficulty flying (only slight or no signs of dehydration)

SELECT AGENT RESEARCH/BIOHAZARDS. Yes
Select Agent Research:
Research on Biological Select Agents and Toxins (BSAT) requires strict compliance with regulations that are
primarily overseen by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS). These regulations are designed to maintain the safety and security of the
materials, personnel and the environment. Per requirements, we outline details of select agent research below
for our two EID-SEARCH core laboratory partners, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNG) and
National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL), who will conduct select agent research.
Identify the Select Agent(s) to be used in the proposed research:
SARS-CoV: We propose using Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-associated Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and
SARS-CoV genome RNA (isolated using TriZOL) in this proposal. Derivative viruses encoding 2/3 genome
length SARS-CoV are also considered as select agents; consequently, recombinant SARS-CoV encoding
various bat SARS-like S glycoproteins will be considered select agents.
Henipaviruses: Wildtype Nipah, Hendra and related bat viruses are select agents and will be used at the Boston
NEIDL BSL-4 Laboratories. Nipah virus is an overlap select agent regulated by both HHS and USDA.
Filoviruses: Wildtype Ebola viruses are select agents and will be used at the Boston N EIDL BSL-4 Laboratories.
Provide the registration status of all entities where Select Agent(s) will be used:
The UNG is currently registered with the CDC for select agent use including SARS-CoV as required by select
agent regulations (42 CFR 73). The UNG SARS select agent laboratories are routinely inspected by the
environmental health and safety department at UNG and by the CDC. Workers receive select agent and BSL3
training focused on SARS-CoV safety, procedures and protective clothing/PAPR training each year.
The NEIDL Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) group to vet, review and approve Standard Operating
Procedures, consistent with BU-wide policies and procedures, which meet and/or exceed all applicable federal,
state, and local regulations (NIH, BMBL, OSHA, CDC, NRC, MWRA, DEP, BFD, etc.). EHS responsibilities
include: biosafety; laboratory and building occupant safety; wastewater management and monitoring;
hazardous and non-hazardous solid waste management; biological, chemical, and radioactive waste disposal
management; select agent program, medical surveillance program, staff and first responder training programs.
For each NEIDL research project which has been approved by the BU Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC),
the EHS Biosafety Manager obtains applicable select agent permits to comply with 7CFR331 and 9CFR121,
the Agricultural Bioterrorism Protection act of 2002; Possession, Use, Transfer of Biological Agents and
Toxins: Final Rule. If an agent-specific immunization is available the EHS Core Biosafety Manager will assist
the Research Occupational Health Program physicians to determine whether laboratory personnel will require
immunizations for agents handled or present in the laboratory.
Provide a description of all facilities where the Select Agent(s) will be used:
UNC: SARS-CoV and related derivative viruses will be manipulated in research activities (UNG) including
establishing growth curves and performing plaque assays in laboratory spaces that meet the operational and
procedural criteria for BSL-3 activities as outlined in the CDC/NIH "Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical
Laboratories", 5th edition, as well as the BL-3 criteria outlined in the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving
Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules (March 2013). In addition, all mouse work at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill will be performed in the approved and registered BSL-3 lab, equipped with
Techniplast SealsaferM Hepa-filtered animal housing for rodents. All protocols will be approved by the IACUC at
the University of North Carolina at Chapel.
At UNC, all BSL-3/ABSL-3/select agent laboratories are equipped with biosafety cabinets, incubators,
centrifuges with containment features, cold storage units, an autoclave, sink, eyewash and life safety equipment,
as well as mechanical system monitors and alarms to support effective isolation and containment of operations

and a changing area. For both the BSL2 and BSL3 select agent spaces, access to the select agents is restricted
by the hallway to anteroom door, which requires swipe card and punch codes for entry, the door between the
anteroom and the BSL-3 (BL3 only), and freezer locks.
NEIDL: The select agent work to be carried out will be performed in the National Emerging Infectious Diseases
Laboratories (NEIDL). The NEIDL is fully permitted for Select Agent work at BSL-3 and ABSL-3, as well as
BSL-4 and ABSL-4. We will conduct experimental infection studies using Nipah and Hendra (Henipaviruses)
and Ebola and Ebola-related viruses at NEIDL using animal models and cell lines within the biosafety level 4
laboratory at NEIDL. No infectious materials will be moved or handled outside of the BSL 4 facility. All science
and animal care staff are fully trained and certified to work under BSL 4 conditions.
At Boston University (BU), research with BSAT is focused to combat infectious diseases caused by the agents,
with primary concentration on the development of vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostic tests. Work is
conducted in highly specialized containment facilities that are specifically designed, verified and maintained to
ensure that the materials are secured, contained and handled safely. Research facilities with BSA Tat BU have
received prior approval from CDC/USDA and other local regulatory agencies prior to the possession, storage
and conducting of research work. All BSAT research proposals are first carefully reviewed by the Institutional
Biosafety Committee (IBC) and, together with the Environmental Health and Safety (EHS), checks and verifies
that the required safety procedures, personal protective equipment, safety equipment, and trainings are in
place and implemented prior to initiation of research work.
A senior Scientific Safety Officer serves as the Select Agent Responsible Official (RO) and has oversight for
the implementation of the BSAT program. Under this program, the institution implements and maintains a
system of control measures to ensure that all personnel are properly screened for security risks and have
passed the required background verification checks by Federal agencies and BU. Personnel complete and
meet the medical and health screenings required by the Research Occupational Health Program (ROHP);
personnel are appropriately trained on the hazards of the materials, safety procedures and their roles and
responsibilities. The RO and the Alternate Responsible Officials (ARO) conduct an annual review of the
Security, Biosafety and Incident Response Plans and make necessary changes to the plans.
Describe the procedures that will be used to monitor possession, use and transfer of the Select Agent(s):
All personnel who will have access to select agent-regulated materials have been added to the select agent
registration following security risk assessments prescribed by the CDC Select Agent Program. Personnel have
completed training in all aspects of select agent compliance requirements and have adopted changes to standard
operating procedures as applicable to assure that these requirements are met. Personnel will follow all
procedures prescribed for accessing and securing the lab, documenting lab activities and materials used, and
responding to incidents that could result in theft, loss or release of select agent regulated materials. Transfers of
select agent-regulated materials will be coordinated by the Lab Manager and Responsible Official in accordance
with standard operating procedure, including obtaining appropriate permits for shipping select agent materials.
Lab managers of both facilities are DOT/IATA trained for shipping dangerous goods and will follow all regulations
for shipping, both under dangerous goods and select agent regulations. Transfer of select agent RNA in trizol
from the BSL3 and BSL2 laboratory is witnessed by UNC and Vanderbilt ARO in a process that has been
approved by the CDC.
For NEIDL, all biohazards that are shipped or received for approved projects are mandated to meet the
standards of the High Hazard Materials Management policy, which states that BU will meet or exceed all
applicable shipping regulations under the requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and
the International Air Transportation Authority (IATA). The RO, the BU Office of Emergency Management and
Public Safety have responsibility for overseeing the transportation process for select agents and for contracting
appropriate transportation vendors which utilize screened personnel, GPS tracking systems and can provide
an all-inclusive chain of custody documentation for each shipment.

laboratories have been operational since 2004 with BSL-3 Core Policies and Procedures documentation in place
with lab-specific standard operating procedures. BSL-3 standard operating procedures have been reviewed and
approved by the Institutional Biosafety Committees at either the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill or
Vanderbilt and are updated as lab processes change or biosafety procedures evolve. The content of these
documents has been reformatted and expanded to conform to the select agent regulations for the biosafety,
security and incident response plans. Additionally, lab-specific security risk assessments have been completed
and recommendations put in place to ensure that security measures and procedures are sufficient to effectively
minimize the possibility of unauthorized access to select agent-regulated materials. Equipment and procedures
will be modified if deemed necessary based on this assessment. The facilities at the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill and Vanderbilt have undergone multiple CDC inspections and are currently in compliance with
CDC requirements relating to SARS-CoV and select agent status.
Co-ls Keusch and Corley from NEIDL have endorsed a "safety first" environment which underpin all activities.
The NEIDL Public Safety core is responsible for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week facility security and both
police-academy highly trained public safety officers and specialized automated building systems are used.
Public Safety personnel are well trained in the intricacies of a secure site maintenance, criminal applications
with a significant amount of training pertaining to safety, facilities, emergency preparedness and response,
biosafety incidents, animal rights activism, insider threats and coordinated notification and response of external
local, state and federal responders. Individuals are only granted access to relevant NEIDL facilities based upon
their responsibilities in the building. Employees pass through security layers that require identification by a
public safety officer, and use a combination of proximity card access and biometric iris readers to gain access
to laboratories in which select agent work is carried out. Activities in select agent laboratories can be monitored
by closed circuit television, and video recordings can be reviewed. Access is monitored for compliance both
electronically and by public safety staff. Variances to authorized access results in notifications of public safety
staff within the building which will initiate a response to that variance.
Describe the biocontainment resources available at all performance sites: All BSL-3 and BSL-4 labs are
under negative pressure, with redundant systems to ensure negative pressure is maintained. Both facilities have
autoclaves to decontaminate all waste materials as well as approved protocols for the treatment or inactivation
of any materials leaving the lab. All personnel are extensively trained in basic virology and safety protocols before
being approved for select agent work and then undergo extensive training to work with SARS-CoV as a BSL-3
pathogen. In both labs, annual testing is performed to verify that the biosafety cabinets, lab supply/exhaust
systems (including alarms), and other laboratory equipment are functioning as designed. The lab is secured at
all times and only personnel who have successfully completed select agent clearance and laboratory specific
training requirements are permitted to enter without an escort.
OTHER BIOHAZADS
Other Biohazards and Non-Select BSL3 Agents: We will synthesize full length recombinant viruses for
MERS-CoV and from a variety of SARS-like, ME RS-like and related emerging coronaviruses (e.g.,
SADS-CoV, HKU2, HKU10, etc.). All of these viruses will be isolated and studied under BSL3 conditions
at UNC.
Field Work Biosafety:
Introduction and Background. Many of the novel viruses studied in this proposal have caused or have
the potential to cause human outbreaks with significant case fatality rates, and there are no vaccines
available for many of these agents. The work proposed in this application will involve two aspects: field
work and laboratory work, focusing on distantly coronaviruses, filoviruses and henipaviruses. Fieldwork
involves the highest risk of exposure to bat and related human viruses of high pathogenic potential,
while working in caves with high bat density overhead and the potential for fecal dust to be inhaled.
There is also some risk of exposure to pathogens or physical injury while handling bats, rodents,
primates or other animals, their blood samples or their excreta. The Co-Pis and field team have
extensive experience and certification working with wildlife species and high-biosecurity pathogens
(Nipah virus, ebolavirus, SARS-like CoV, MERS-like CoV etc.), and great care will be taken in the field to
limit the risk of accidental exposure to known or unknown animal pathogens. We have strict procedures

for handling bats and working with samples from them as they are secured in the field and transported to
the lab. Field team members handling animals will be trained to utilize personal protective equipment
and practice proper environmental disinfection techniques. This includes wearing coveralls or dedicated
clothing, nitrile gloves, eye protection, and a P95 or P100 respirator, or positive air pressure respirators
(PAPRs) in the field. All field clothing and equipment will be disinfected using Virkon disinfectant, and
Tyvek suits will be properly disposed of as biohazard. All biological waste from field surveys will be
disposed of in the appropriate container (sharps box or an autoclave bag) and will be autoclaved at local
hospitals or university labs. All personnel will be vaccinated against rabies and have a neutralizing
antibody titer, in accordance with WHO and CDC recommendations. Field teams will carry rabies
boosters in the field and will receive a booster in the event of a potential rabies exposure.
Field safety protocol: Our procedures to deal with bites, needle-sticks etc. are as follows: The wound
is washed thoroughly with soap and water to clean away dirt and debris, then vigorously scrubbed with
a sterile gauze bandage and benzalkonium chloride for 5 minutes. If bleeding, pressure is applied with
a sterile bandage for until bleeding has stopped. If the wound continues to bleed, medical attention at
the nearest hospital is sought. The bat from which the bite or exposure originated is identified, and the
samples collected from it labeled on the data sheet that these were involved in an exposure. Our
procedures require that the person potentially exposed reports to a major hospital within 24 hours to
have wound examined and receive a rabies booster as per WHO/CDC protocols. The laboratory work is
lower risk, as samples placed in lysis buffer will be non-infectious. Samples placed in viral transport
medium and frozen will be stored at ultra-low temperatures (-86°C) until viral isolation is required.
Serum will be heat inactivated at 56°C for 30 minutes prior to testing.
Available Treatments: No approved treatments are related for MERS-CoV, MEAS-like bat CoV, SAAS and
the SARSr-related and other bat coronavirus infections, however, GS5734 is effective against most
coronaviruses, filoviruses and henipaviruses. In addition, therapeutic human antibodies are available against
many of the classic high path viruses studied in this proposal, although it is less certain whether these
immunotherapeutics will be effective against more phylogenetically distant strains in the family. VSV-EBOV
vaccine is used to prevent Ebola infections in humans, having been administered to over 130,000 humans,
mostly in the DRC.
P3CO Research. Recognizing the implementation of new gain of function research guidelines under P3CO,
SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV are subject to these guidelines, and as such, reverse genetic studies are subject to
review. Our group has considerable expertise in interfacing with the appropriate NIH P3CO institutional review
boards to review, revise and finalize research designs that have the potential to modify pathogenesis or
transmissibility in mammals.

CONSORTIUM/CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS·
This project is a multi-institutional collaboration led by EcoHealth Alliance, New York (Daszak, Pl), which
will subcontract funds to five institutions: Chulalongkorn University's Thai Red Cross Emerging Infectious
Disease Research Center (co-I Wacharapluesadee), Conservation Medicine Malaysia (co-I Hughes), the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (co-I Barie), the Uniformed Services University (co-I Broder),
and Duke-NUS Medical School (co-I Wang). In addition, co-ls Keusch and Corley from Boston
University's National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories will provide additional in kind support,
using additional funding, to attempt viral isolation on any novel Filoviruses or Henipaviruses we discover
over the course of our award. Pl Daszak has over 20 years previous experience managing collaborative
projects including two R01 s on Nipah virus ecology and an R01 on Coronavirus (Al110964) that involve
multiple, separate foreign institutions; a 5-year NSF/NIH Ecology of Infectious Disease award on West
Nile virus which involved multiple subcontracts, a NIAID R01 on bat viral discovery that involved multiple
international contracts, and a multi-million dollar per year contract from USAID that involves 21
international partners. The applicant organization (EcoHealth Alliance) is justified in taking the lead on
this project because it specializes in understanding the ecological and virological processes underlying
zoonotic disease emergence, and has conducted international, multi-disciplinary and multi-partner
research around the world for more than 30 years. The subcontract institutions will work on specific
issues and areas in which they have proven expertise. These areas are:
D Wildlife and human community surveillance and specimen collection, human clinical or hospital
syndromic surveillance, screening and sequencing of specimens using conserved PCR assays
for CoV, FV, and PMVs, screening of serum specimens using MMIA (Luminex) assays.
(Chulalongkorn University TRC-EID, co-I Wacharapluesadee) and (Conservation Medicine
Malaysia, co-I Hughes)
□ Novel serological and molecular assay development; generation of reagents for novel
assays; and training of Thailand and Malaysia laboratory staff for technology transfer for
serological and molecular protocol development (Uniformed Services University, co-I
Broder) and (Duke-NUS Medical School, co-I Wang).
□ Small animal models of viral pathogenesis, primary human cell cultures, viral isolation and
reverse genetics (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, co-I Barie) and (National
Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories, co-I Keusch)
EcoHealth Alliance (EHA) led by Pl Daszak have collaborated with all partners in the EIDRC consortium for 5-

This letter expresses the strong interest that staff at Duke-NUS Medical School has in collaborative
research with EcoHealth Alliance and other partners on the proposed NIAID Emerging Infectious
Diseases Research Center (EIDRC) submission (FOA: RFA-Al-19-028), titled "Understanding risk
of zoonotic virus emergence in EID hotspots of Southeast Asia".
The Duke-NUS Medical School recognizes the mutual benefits to be gained through research
cooperation and a successful partnership in this center, including sharing of technology, samples,
reagents, data and research results. The research proposed will advance our understanding of the
ability of wildlife-origin coronaviruses, henipaviruses and filoviruses to spillover into high-risk human
populations and cause illnesses that may have been previously unreported, or undiagnosed. We
believe the results will be scientifically important, and have great public health value in the region,
and globally, by identifying key pandemic threats in an EID hotspot region.
We at Duke-NUS have collaborated successfully with all partners on this proposal, and look forward
to continuing our work together. Our work will include managing the test development and sample
testing component of this multi-disciplinary project. We will also actively take part in technology
transfer and research cross-training with other partners, and are ready, willing and able to work in
surge capacity to conduct research during outbreak situations, in collaboration with all other EIDRCs
and the EIDCC.

This letter expresses the high interest that faculty and staff at Boston University's National Emerging
Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL) have in collaborative research with EcoHealth Alliance and other
partners on the proposed NIAID Emerging Infectious Diseases Research Center (EIDRC) submission (FOA:
RFA-Al-19-028), titled "Understanding risk of zoonotic virus emergence in EID hotspots of Southeast Asia".
The NEIDL recognizes the mutual benefits to be gained through research cooperation and a successful
partnership in this center, including sharing of technology, samples, reagents, data and research results. The
research proposed will advance our understanding of the ability of wildlife-origin coronaviruses,
henipaviruses and filoviruses to spill over into high-risk human populations and cause illnesses that may
have been previously unreported, or undiagnosed. We believe the results will be scientifically important, and
have great public health value in the region, and globally, by identifying key pandemic threats in an EID
hotspot region.
We at NEIDL have collaborated successfully with all partners on this proposal, and look forward to continuing
our work together. Going from "sequences" to "viruses" is a critical unmet need in surveillance and in
assessing spillover potential and we are happy to participate. We are particularly excited about the
opportunities to have access to sequences of novel viruses that may need to have 3' or 5' ends "completed",
as well as to assess the presence of viruses in samples that are PCR positive for isolation and culture under
BSL-4 conditions. We will seek external funding to test these for infectivity in human cells, and make these
available to other investigators in the USA. We have a number of investigators that are experienced working
with pathogens at maximum containment, have the ability to test viruses for infectivity in a variety of human
cell types, and to assess the uptake and receptor usage in these cells. We are already developing small
molecule and monoclonal therapeutics with commercial partners, and also hope to receive convalescent sera,
PBMCs and other samples from clinical cohorts to further these goals. Finally, we will actively take part in
technology transfer and research cross-training with other partners, including externally-funded visiting
scholars and are ready, willing and able to work in surge capacity to conduct research during outbreak
situations, in collaboration with all other EIDRCs and the EIDRC CC.

Dear Dr. Daszak,
This letter expresses the high interest that staff at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak has in collaborative research
with EcoHealth Alliance and other partners on the proposed NIAID Emerging Infectious Diseases ResearchCenter (EIDRC) submission (FOA: RFA-Al-19-028), titled "Understanding risk of zoonotic virus emergence in
EID hotspots of Southeast Asia".
The Universiti Malaysia Sarawak recognizes the mutual benefits to be gained through research- cooperation
and a successful partnership in this center, including sharing of technology, samples, reagents, data and
research results. The research proposed will advance our understanding of the ability of wildlife-origin
coronaviruses, henipaviruses and ftloviruses to spillover into high-risk human populations and cause illnesses
that may have been previously unreported, or undiagnosed. We believe the results will be scientifically
important, and have great public health value in the region, and globally, by identifying key pandemic threats in
an EID hotspot region.
We at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak have collaborated successfully with all partners on this proposal, and look
forward to continuing our work together. Our work will include managing both human and animai surveillance,
sample collection, testing, and development of laboratory diagnostics". We will also actively take part in
technology transfer and research cross-training with other partners, and are ready, willing and able to work in
surge capacity to conduct research during outbreak situations, in collaboration with all other EIDRCs and the

and research results. The research proposed will advance our understanding of the ability of
wildlife-origin coronaviruses, henipaviruses and filoviruses to spillover into high-risk human
populations and cause illnesses that may have been previously unreported, or undiagnosed. We
believe the results will be scientifically important, and have great public health value in the
region, and globally, by identifying key pandemic threats in an EID hotspot region.
We at HUMS are looking forward to collaborating successfully with all partners on this proposal.
Our work will include managing human surveillance, sample collection, testing, and development
of laboratory diagnostics. We will also actively take part in technology transfer and research
cross-training with other partners, and are ready, willing and able to work in surge capacity to
conduct research during outbreak situations, in collaboration with all other EIDRCs and the
EIDCC.

Title: Understanding Risk of Zoonotic Virus Emergence in EID Hotspots of Southeast Asia
Dear Dr. Daszak:
On behalf of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Southeast Asia Regional Office
(CDC-SARO) we would like to offer our enthusiastic support for your application to the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) proposing a systematic approach to better understand the diversity and
epidemiology emerging viruses from the Coronavirus, Paramyxyovirus, and Filovirus families and
commitment and improve laboratory capacity to identify and diagnose these pathogens.
CDC has a long history of collaboration with government organizations, non-governmental
organizations, academic institutions including success with the NIH-funded research activities. I believe
that CDC's work in Southeast Asia, through CDC-SARO, provides an effective platform to successfully
collaborate with you on the proposed "Understanding Risk of Zoonotic Virus Emergence in EID
Hotspots of Southeast Asia" project.
I understand that the overall goal of this proposed study is to further understand an important group of
emerging zoonotic viruses that threaten global health security. The mission of CDC's global health
presence is to protect Americans and people worldwide from public health threats by working with
partners to build capacity, advance research, and respond in times of crises. This project will advance
CDC's global mission by improving our knowledge of the zoonotic epidemiology of potentially highlypathogenic emerging viruses, understanding the characteristics of these viruses that may be associated
with increased potential for spill over and/or pathogenesis in humans, as well as improving our ability to
detect and diagnose these unique pathogens. The emergence of Nipah virus in Malaysia, SARS-CoV,
zoonotic influenza viruses (H5Nl, H7N9) MERS-CoV, Zika, and finally Ebola in West Africa
demonstrates the zoonotic potential of these and other viruses and highlights the critical gaps in
knowledge including well-characterized diagnostics and medical countermeasures to stop these public
health threats .. Furthermore, the spread of these outbreaks across international borders provides clear
evidence of mobility of these pathogens given current trade/movement of animals and extensive
networks of international travel.
Should you be successful with your application, CDC SARO is willing to provide technical support,
liaise regional Ministries and CDC country offices, and provide general assistance as needed to advance
the proposed science.

I strongly support the collaborative research proposed by EcoHealth Alliance and other partners on the NIAID
EIDRC proposal titled "Understanding risk of zoonotic virus emergence in EID hotspots of Southeast Asia".
As you know, I have long experience with both government and university sectors in researching wildlifeassociated EIDs including henipaviruses, coronaviruses and filoviruses in Southeast Asia and China. As an
Honorary Professor in the School of Veterinary Science at UQ, the mutual benefits to be gained through
research cooperation and partnership in this project, including sharing of technology, samples, reagents, data
and research results, are clearly evident. The proposed research will undoubtedly advance our understanding
of the ability of wildlife-origin coronaviruses, henipaviruses and filoviruses to spillover into high-risk human
populations and cause morbidity and mortality previously unreported or undiagnosed. The results will be
scientifically important, and have direct and significant public health value both regionally and globally, by
identifying key pandemic threats in an EID hotspot region.
I very much look forward to participating in this new initiative with previous partners with a proven track record
in this field. My contribution will include expert input in relevant study design, data collection and analysis,
partner meetings, and dissemination and publication, and more broadly, technology transfer and research
cross-training with other partners, as well as contribute surge capacity to undertake research during outbreak
situations, in collaboration with all other EIDRCs and the EIDCC.

RESOURCE SHARING PLAN
To share resources with the academic research community, we will use the uniform Material Transfer Agreement
(MTA), which acknowledges that the materials are proprietary to Institutions of the Cooperative Agreement and
permitting their use in a manner that is consistent with the Bayh-Dole Act and NIH funding requirements. NIH
research grants require that research be made available to the scientific community and public. The primary
method of data sharing is through peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals and by presentation at
scientific meetings. In addition, data and results created from NIH supported research will be submitted to NIH
in annual progress reports per the terms and conditions of this award. Recombinant viruses, transgenic mouse
models and experimental recombinant protein constructs will be made available upon request following a
standard procedure (below). Several viruses isolated and studied in this program are select agents so these
viruses will not be shipped unless appropriate documentation demonstrates the existence of approved BSL3/4
facilities, select agent licenses, and shipment using approved CDC and Department of Commerce procedures.
We already have established MTAs between most of our EID-SEARCH, consortium partners and will ensure
these agreements are up to date and agreed upon by our consortium at the start of our project and then reviewed
annually. Having these agreements in place will further reduce the time needed to share reagents and other
resources in the event of an outbreak when time-sensitive sharing of biological resources and diagnostic
reagents is most critical. At the start of the project, we will work with the EIDRC - Coordinating Center to
ensure these agreements and resource sharing plans are compliant and aligned with plans created for
NIH's other EIDRCs.
Data Sharing Plan
EcoHealth Alliance (EHA) will house the Data Management and Analysis (DMA) team for EIDRC SEARCH, led
by Co-Pis Olival and Zambrana-Toreillo and include Key Personnel Latinne and Mendelsohn. EHA has served
as the data and analysis hub for numerous multi-institutional, multi-sectoral, international disease research
groups, including acting as the Modeling and Analytics lead institution for the USAID-PREDICT project, the
Western Asia Bat Research Network lead by co-I Olival ( 1) and EHA's Rift Valley Fever Consortium (2). We
will leverage our experience and infrastructure from those projects.
Project Database: We will create a dedicated, centralized EIDRC database to ingest, store, link, and provide
for analysis all data associated with the proposed study and other expanded projects associated with the
research network. The database will be SOL-based and use encrypted, secure cloud hosting services and
enable export to archival and platform-independent formats. It will ensure data and metadata compatibility
between project components, track data versioning and annotations. The system will be designed to work with
both with both paper- and tablet-based field data entry and with laboratory information management systems in
place in individual partner labs. We will design and engineer the systems to be compatible with other NIAID
approved data management systems, including those utilized by the EIDRC-CC, by designing secure APls,
and matching data fields and data standards. The database will use existing metadata standards, including
NCBI standards for genetic and molecular data and Ecological Metadata Language (EML) for field and wildlife
data, as well as other standards and formats designated by the EIRDC CC. This will enable rapid publication
and deposition of data. Granular security and privacy controls will be applied so that specific expansion
projects undertaken in the network may be managed while maintaining data confidentiality as needed.
Data Identification and Privacy: For human clinical data and questionnaires, data will be identified by a unique
identification code assigned to each individual and only this, de-identified code will be accessible in the project
database. All questionnaire data and biological samples will be labeled with a unique alphanumeric
identification code, assigned to each enrolled, sampled individual that does not identify the individual from
whom data are collected. Participants' names and codes, along with other records with identifying information
such as informed consent forms, will be stored in a separately secure system accessible to only essential
project staff. If participants agree during the consent process, they may be contacted about having their
samples or questionnaire data used for future separate studies about new animal infections discovered in the

standard procedure (below). Several viruses isolated and studied in this program are select agents so these
viruses will not be shipped unless appropriate documentation demonstrates the existence of approved BSL3/4
facilities, select agent licenses, and shipment using approved CDC and Department of Commerce procedures.
We already have established MTAs between most of our EID-SEARCH, consortium partners and will ensure
these agreements are up to date and agreed upon by our consortium at the start of our project and then reviewed
annually. Having these agreements in place will further reduce the time needed to share reagents and other
resources in the event of an outbreak when time-sensitive sharing of biological resources and diagnostic
reagents is most critical. At the start of the project, we will work with the EIDRC - Coordinating Center to
ensure these agreements and resource sharing plans are compliant and aligned with plans created for
NIH's other EIDRCs.
Data Sharing Plan
EcoHealth Alliance (EHA) will house the Data Management and Analysis (DMA) team for EIDRC SEARCH, led
by Co-Pis Olival and Zambrana-Toreillo and include Key Personnel Latinne and Mendelsohn. EHA has served
as the data and analysis hub for numerous multi-institutional, multi-sectoral, international disease research
groups, including acting as the Modeling and Analytics lead institution for the USAID-PREDICT project, the
Western Asia Bat Research Network lead by co-I Olival ( 1) and EHA's Rift Valley Fever Consortium (2). We
will leverage our experience and infrastructure from those projects.
Project Database: We will create a dedicated, centralized EIDRC database to ingest, store, link, and provide
for analysis all data associated with the proposed study and other expanded projects associated with the
research network. The database will be SOL-based and use encrypted, secure cloud hosting services and
enable export to archival and platform-independent formats. It will ensure data and metadata compatibility
between project components, track data versioning and annotations. The system will be designed to work with
both with both paper- and tablet-based field data entry and with laboratory information management systems in
place in individual partner labs. We will design and engineer the systems to be compatible with other NIAID
approved data management systems, including those utilized by the EIDRC-CC, by designing secure APls,
and matching data fields and data standards. The database will use existing metadata standards, including
NCBI standards for genetic and molecular data and Ecological Metadata Language (EML) for field and wildlife
data, as well as other standards and formats designated by the EIRDC CC. This will enable rapid publication
and deposition of data. Granular security and privacy controls will be applied so that specific expansion
projects undertaken in the network may be managed while maintaining data confidentiality as needed.
Data Identification and Privacy: For human clinical data and questionnaires, data will be identified by a unique
identification code assigned to each individual and only this, de-identified code will be accessible in the project
database. All questionnaire data and biological samples will be labeled with a unique alphanumeric
identification code, assigned to each enrolled, sampled individual that does not identify the individual from
whom data are collected. Participants' names and codes, along with other records with identifying information
such as informed consent forms, will be stored in a separately secure system accessible to only essential
project staff. If participants agree during the consent process, they may be contacted about having their
samples or questionnaire data used for future separate studies about new animal infections discovered in the

future, and factors that may affect their chances of getting these animal infections. No data will be released for
other purposes without full consent from participants. Upon completion of the project, personal identifying
information will be destroyed unless this protocol is extended.
Training: Members of the OMA team will team will develop documentation and provide training for field and
laboratory teams at all partner institutions in data management, metadata standards and data hygiene best
practices. The OMA team will act as trainers and consultants for partner institutions in experimental design,
power analysis, data analysis, and computational and reproducibility issues. OMA trainers will visit each
partner institution and/or field team base for training workshops and analysis consultations, and partner
institution researchers and students will spend extended time at EHA for collaborative analysis, a model that
has been successful in building and maintaining analytical capacity under our NSF EcoHealthNet and
PREDICT programs.
Computing Resources: EHA operates a cluster of high-performance servers (System76 20- and 36-core Linux
servers with NVIDIA deep-learning GPUs), for data analysis activities, as well as infrastructure to launch cloudbased computing environments of virtual machine with identical software infrastructure. Our servers provide a
web-based analysis environment with all necessary software for statistical and bioninformatics work that is
available to the OMA and partners anywhere in the world. We use a mixture of cloud services (AWS, Azure,
Backblaze, GitHub) to provide redundancy, backup, version control, and rapid post-disaster recovery. The
cluster is available to all project partners and can be used use for both high-performance and training-level
work (under isolated environments for security and performance).
Data and Code Sharing: Data will be available to the public and researchers without cost or registration, and
be released under a CC0 license, as soon as related publications are in press. Data will be deposited for in
long-term public scientific repositories. All sequence data will be made publicly available via GenBank.
Additional ecological data collected in wildlife sampling will be deposited to the Knowledge Network for
Biodiversity, and other data will be deposited in appropriate topic-specific or general repositories. Computer
code for modeling and statistical analysis will be made available on a code-hosting site (GitHub), and archived
in the Zenodo repository under an open-source, unrestrictive MIT license. Limited human survey and clinical
data will be released following anonymization and aggregation per IRB requirements. Publications will be
released as open-access via deposition to PubMed commons.
Sharing Model Organisms
Within the program, we will utilize standard laboratory mice as well as different Collaborative Cross mouse strains
as well as various transgenic mouse strains, several of which are already available at the NIH-supported Mutant
Mouse Regional Resource Center (MMMRC) at UNG. The Collaborative Cross mice are already publicly
available from the UNG Systems Genetics Core Facility and the Jackson laboratories, and as such available to
the scientific community. All genotyping information generated on these populations will be deposited in the
appropriate public repositories (e.g. GEO, lmmPort, ENA). Similarly, all phenotypic data generated within this
program from studies with mice will be deposited in the Mouse Phenome Database upon publication, as well as
lmmPort to ensure dissemination to the community at large.
In accordance with the NIH/NIAID data sharing and release guidelines, we will coordinate the rapid and
unrestricted sharing of all data generated as part of this project.
1. Genotypes generated on the MUGA mouse array, including raw x- and y- intensity data and derived genotype
calls will be made available for download from the Mutant Mouse Regional Resource Center at UNC's
website (https://www.med.unc.edu/mmrrc/genotypes/publications) and at Zenodo (https://zenodo.org/).
Reagent Sharing
For all other reagents/requests, we have established a consistent process for evaluating requests for samples
and reagents from outside scientists. In order of priority, these include: 1) requests for reagents that have been

published in peer-reviewed journals; 2) requests which enhance/promote a specific agenda of the program
projects and f acuity; 3) requests that promote scientifically valid collaborations between project faculty and
outside scientists; and 4) overall research and public health needs. The general format involves: a) establishing
a working knowledge of the research agenda and credentials of the requestor, b) group discussion and
agreement, 3) MTA agreement with the appropriate institution, or license agreement with a commercial entity,
and 4) inventory checking and sending out of reagents. We will work closely with the appropriate institutional
Technology Transfer Office and individuals involved in these transactions. The goal will be to provide reagents
within a few months of receiving a request for traditional research purposes. In the event of an outbreak or
emergency situation, we will communicate with the NIH and EIDRC-CC, and rapidly speed up resource sharing
among our EID-SEARCH core partners and our extended network. As documented in the Research Strategy,
EHA has successfully provided rapid technical assistance for testing and reagent needs during outbreaks under
the USAID-PREDICT proiect, and has strong existing relationships and existing MTAs with our core EIDSEARCH partners to facilitate this. If needed, we will also acquire appropriate letters from the recipient
institutions environmental health and safety officers and help coordinate CDC and/or USDA and Department of
Commerce permits. The program faculty will not send reagents to individuals or institutions that do not have
appropriate documentation of appropriate containment for the materials, might harbor ill-intentions, or are
conducting irresponsible research.
Genomic Data Sharing
We will ensure compliance with NIH's Genomic Data Sharing plans for all viral sequence data generated in this
project. We anticipate obtaining genetic sequence data for 100s of novel virus genotypes, including RNAdependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) sequences for all strains/genotypes and sequences of viral attachment
glycoproteins. We will generate full viral genomes for a subset of the viruses and human virus strains that we
identify. We will also generate host genetic sequence data for relevant cellular receptor genes of wildlife species.
We will deposit all genetic sequences in the NIH data bank, NCBI GenBank as soon as possible after data are
generated (including ensurance of quality control), and no later than 6 months, so that they are readily available
to the scientific community. We will ensure that all meta-data associated with these sequences, including
collection locality lat/long, species-level host identification, date of collection, and sequencing protocols will also
submitted. We anticipate sequence generation will occur over the 5 year proposed project period.
All datasets and associated meta-data will be additionally submitted to Virus Pathogen Resource (Vi PR,
http://www.viprbrc.org). All computational models of biological processes will be made available on the
BioModels Database (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/biomodels-main/).
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property agreements, identified during the course of this project, will be accomplished by negotiation
in good faith among the institutions and inventors. We will work with the inventors in the production of the
necessary documents, working with the particular institutions, legal firms and commercial interests. It is
anticipated that companies and institutions will have access to these reagents and viruses by MTA (for research
purposes) or by a license agreement to be negotiated in good faith with a company.

AUTHENTICATION OF KEY BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES AND SCIENTIFIC RIGOR
Eco Health Alliance will actively engage with each partner laboratory to ensure that the highest quality of
science, public accountability, and social responsibility in the conduct of science is maintained throughout this
project. The overall goal is to ensure that the underlying scientific foundation of research conducted under our
EID-SEARCH project from conception to completion is scientifically sound. The application is designed to
ensure rigor, by using a robust and unbiased experimental design, well defined methodology, large group sizes
that ensures statistical rigor and analysis, clearly interpretable endpoints, biological authentication of key
biological resources and transparency in the reporting of results. To ensure scientific rigor (e.g., determining
group sizes, analyzing anticipated results, reducing bias, ensuring independent and blinded measurements,
improving precision and reducing variability including or excluding research subjects, and managing missing
data), EcoHealth Alliance will review scientific approaches and statistical justification of study design
throughout the duration of the award. We have highlighted our statistical approach to analysis of animal and
human data in our Research Strategy and accompanying Statistical Analysis Plan. Whenever possible,
multiple experimental approaches are used to demonstrate congruency in data interpretation. We will ensure
that experimental designs will include considerations of sex as a "Relevant Biological Variable" in al I studies
involving human subjects or vertebrate animals. Unless otherwise specified and justified, all sampling and
screening will include male and females.
Details below ensure the authentication of key biological resources needed for further biological
characterization of viruses in the laboratories of the University of North Carolina, Duke-NUS Medical
School, Singapore, and National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL), Boston (Aim 1) as
well as authentication of key reagents needed for molecular and serological screening, particularly the
multiplex microsphere immunoassay (MMIA) or Luminex assay reagents developed by Uniformed
Services University, Bethesda (Aims 2 and 3).
Cell lines. We will purchase cell lines from commercial vendors (e.g., ATCC), which confirm the authentication
of the cells they supply using short tandem repeat (STR) profiling (ATCC). For all cell lines, we will create a lowpassage (<5 passages) working stock for use across all experiments, and while in use, we will monitor
morphology and growth kinetics continuously and perform mycoplasma tests monthly. If cultures exhibit
unexpected changes in growth or morphology or test positive for mycoplasma, we will discard them immediately.
All genetically modified cell lines will be frozen at low passage and maintained in culture only for 10 passage
cycles. Once thawed and placed in culture, each cell line will be re-evaluated for maintenance of gene targeting.
Primary cells. Early passage primary lung cells from humans are a key reagent for the proposed studies,
including airway epithelial cells and microvascular endothelial cells. Human cells are derived from donors of both
sexes and from all ages and ethnic groups and are provided from deidentified donors from the cystic fibrosis
center tissue procurement fee for service center (https://www.med.unc.edu/marsicolunginstitute/corefacilities/tissueprocurmentandcellculturecore/). Care is taken during cell isolation to only handle one human
organ at a time. Similarly, primary cell populations are handled carefully, only one donor cell type from a single
donor at a time to avoid any mixing. The cells are observed to exhibit well-described prototypical characteristics
of human primary lung cells in cell type specific medias in culture. For quality control, the cells are cultured in
antibiotic free media to test for bacterial and fungal microbial contamination and are subjected to mycoplasma
testing. Once the epithelial cells are grown as polarized and differentiated monolayers, a representative sample
is subject to quality control histological analysis of cell morphology and Short Terminal Repeat (STR) marker
profiling by the UNC Lineberger Cancer Center's Tissue Culture Facility (TCF).
The Freestyle™ 293-F cell line is used for the development and expression of the viral recombinant proteins.
These cells are from Thermo-Fisher Scientific, Inc., and are adapted to suspension culture in Freestyle™ 293
Expression Medi um.
Luminex (MMIA) Serological Reagents. To improve CoV-specific antibody detection, we propose to develop
a multiplex microsphere immunoassay (MMIA) to enable serum samples to simultaneously be tested for
antibodies reactive to the trimeric S, monomeric S1 and S2 subunits, and N. This assay development, being led
by Uniformed Services University (USU), will involve some non-standard biological and chemical resources that

require validation and authentication. USU has specialized strategies to oversee the authentication of key
biological resources, reagents and chemical resources during assay development and validation. Each purified
protein antigen will be tested by protein gel and Western blot analysis to confirm expected protein size and
weight. Polyclonal rabbit antisera specific to each purified antigen will be generated and used to test size
exclusion and affinity purified proteins with Luminex-based platform. These polyclonal rabbit antisera will act as
positive and negative controls for each purified protein and will be used to quantify inter and intra assay variation
as well as ensure that each batch of purified protein retains the same level of assay reactivity. This positive and
negative control assay standardization will be transferred to both international partner laboratories (JUST, Lugar)
and guidelines detailing monthly testing will be included as part of the in-country training. Assay control results
between USU and implementing laboratories in Thailand and Malaysia will be compared throughout the project
to identify and control of any user or assay errors at each site.
Plasmids. We will sequence all cloned genes after their generation, after each PCR amplification, and after
other modifications (such as site-directed mutagenesis). All molecular clones will be synthesized using
commercial vendors and sequence verified after receipt. All mutations will be verified prior to assembly of full
length clones for recombinant virus recover, which includes SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, SARS-like and ME RS-like
CoV, select bat coronaviruses, Ebola and Ebola related filoviruses, Marburg and Marburg related filoviruses, and
henipaviruses (Nipah, Hendra and related viruses).
Viruses. We will sequence wildtype and recombinant virus stocks to confirm the absence of unwanted mutations.
For experiments in mice, each stock of live virus is deep-sequenced to confirm its authenticity, tested for the
absence of mycoplasma, and tested for its lethality in animal models.
Animal Models. We will breed wild-type (WT) C57BU6J, Collaborative Cross (CC) Recombinant Inbred Mice,
and various transgenic C57BL6/J mice expressing the hACE2 receptor and humanized C57BI6/J 288/330+1+
DPP4 mice, which can be used to evaluate pathogenic outcomes following SARS-CoV, bat SARSr-CoV and
MERS-CoV and bat MERSr-CoV. Animals will be used at UNC and Duke-NUS or will be shipped to the NEIDL
in Boston Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) facility for experiments with authentic Ebola, related filoviruses and various
henipaviruses. We obtained founder mice for the WT C57BU6J colony from Jackson Laboratories, which
confirms the authenticity of the animals they supply, while all CC mice were obtained from the University of North
Carolina CC genetic reference population (https://csbio.unc.edu/CCstatus/index.py).
For assay development at USU, polyclonal rabbit sera specific to the recombinant viral glycoprotein to be
generated will be prepared by Noble Life Sciences Inc., Maryland; a fee-for-service and AAALAC accredited,
OLAW assured, and USDA licensed company with over 50 years of experience in animal housing and
husbandry for large and small animals.
Mouse strain Genetic Validation. Inbred mouse strains and Collaborative Cross Mice are an invaluable
tool for biomedical research, and represent a key aspect of this entire program. To ensure that the genetic
background of all mice used within this program is known and when applicable they are part of a known
inbred strains, we will genotype each mouse strain used within this program on the appropriate MUGA
platform (Morgan, AP et.al., G3 2016, Dec 18). The most recent iteration of this state of the art genotyping
array contains over 140,000 markers and can be used to precisely determine the genetic background at the
substrain level and the precise location (at <1 megabase resolution) of genomic regions derived from different
mouse inbred strains. In this way, the identity and genomic integrity of all mice used within these studies will
be ensured. As new diagnostic assays become available, we will assess their utility and the cost
effectiveness of the different MUGA arrays and implement them as appropriate. Furthermore, for each
mutant mouse strain used within the project, positive diagnoses of the mutation will be assessed for each
cohort of experimental animals with a diagnostic validated PCR assay or Sanger sequencing diagnostic to
ensure proper results.
Mice with novel and interesting phenotypes after infection with different program viruses of interest will be
deposited at the MMRRC housed at the University of North Carolina. The MMRRC is the nation's premier
national public repository system for mutant mice. Funded by the NIH continuously since 1999, the MMRRC

generated will be prepared by Noble Life Sciences Inc., Maryland; a fee-for-service and AAALAC accredited,
OLAW assured, and USDA licensed company with over 50 years of experience in animal housing and
husbandry for large and small animals.
Mouse strain Genetic Validation. Inbred mouse strains and Collaborative Cross Mice are an invaluable
tool for biomedical research, and represent a key aspect of this entire program. To ensure that the genetic
background of all mice used within this program is known and when applicable they are part of a known
inbred strains, we will genotype each mouse strain used within this program on the appropriate MUGA
platform (Morgan, AP et.al., G3 2016, Dec 18). The most recent iteration of this state of the art genotyping
array contains over 140,000 markers and can be used to precisely determine the genetic background at the
substrain level and the precise location (at <1 megabase resolution) of genomic regions derived from different
mouse inbred strains. In this way, the identity and genomic integrity of all mice used within these studies will
be ensured. As new diagnostic assays become available, we will assess their utility and the cost
effectiveness of the different MUGA arrays and implement them as appropriate. Furthermore, for each
mutant mouse strain used within the project, positive diagnoses of the mutation will be assessed for each
cohort of experimental animals with a diagnostic validated PCR assay or Sanger sequencing diagnostic to
ensure proper results.
Mice with novel and interesting phenotypes after infection with different program viruses of interest will be
deposited at the MMRRC housed at the University of North Carolina. The MMRRC is the nation's premier
national public repository system for mutant mice. Funded by the NIH continuously since 1999, the MMRRC

archives and distributes scientifically valuable spontaneous and induced mutant mouse strains and ES cell
lines for use by the biomedical research community. The University of North Carolina is one of the 4 major
academic MMRRC centers across the nation.
Genome Sequencing. All PCR assays will be performed using appropriate control materials. Synthetic DNA
constructs will be designed and used as universal controls. These DNA plasmids will contain short regions of
overlapping viral sequences that act as primer binding sites for different PCR assays. The sequence spanning
any two primers binding regions will be unique, allowing for contamination to be readily identified. Contamination
control PCR will be used to rule out the possibility of contamination in a sample with universal control when a
positive PCR result is obtained. All DNA sequence reads obtained from PCR screening of wildlife and human
specimens will be examined by bioinformatic leads in each partner laboratory upon generation and again upon
integration into our database system, for completeness, accuracy, and logical consistency. When base calls are
uncertain, chromatograms will be reviewed to resolve ambiguities; and cloning and re-sequencing of samples if
disagreement is observed. Once all test results (e.g., initial detection by PCR and subsequent sequencing of
viruses) are available for a given specimen, the results are interpreted in light of all available and up-to-date
scientific literature and previous findings by experienced EID-SEARCH virologists and bioinformaticians. This
iterative process ensures the highest quality, most robust, data possible. We will ensure completeness of all
existing metadata, meeting NCBI standards for genetic and molecular data.
For authentication of whole genome sequencing using next generation sequencing methods, we will ensure
standard QC metrics are met at all points in the process of data generation, including: 1) sample quality control
- validation of nucleic acid quality using spectrophotometric methods; 2) QC on base read quality and
sequence reads through analysis of quality scores (Q scores); 3) standard methods to ensure quality of
assembled/aligned reads by using NCBI and ICTV recognized viral reference sequences.
Following details in our Genomic Data Sharing plans, we will deposit all genetic sequences in the NIH data
bank, NCBI GenBank as soon as possible after quality control process is completed, and no later than 6
months after data have been generated, so that they are readily available to the scientific community. All
datasets and associated meta-data will be additionally submitted to Virus Pathogen Resource
(Vi PR, http://www.viprbrc.org) where they can be further authenticated by the scientific research community.
Intellectual Property. Intellectual property agreements, identified during the course of this project, will be
accomplished by negotiation in good faith among the institutions and inventors.
