Module 1 aims to provide insights into the viral epidemiology of emerging and re-emerging viruses, outbreak detection, early management and infection control mechanisms, antimicrobial resistance, and zoonoses. It focuses on the scientific and medical measures to prevent and control the emergence or re-emergence of viruses. It also provides insights into the response of governments and agencies such as the World Health Organization to control the spread of viruses worldwide. The target audience is research-active personnel with postgraduate qualifications (MD, MSc, MPH, PhD), including physicians, veterinarians, entomologists, biomedical scientists and epidemiologists.

Module 2 focuses on the skills and competencies required by frontline staff in national referral centers and reference laboratories. It is aimed at doctors, nurses, and laboratory scientists who must provide diagnostic services and clinical care for patients with emerging infectious diseases. The target audience is active and frontline health workers with completed training, including doctors, technicians, study nurses, research assistants, bachelor, public health, in the biomedical field.
