Abstract: China has continuously improved the monitoring of key infectious diseases. After the SARS epidemic in 2003, we have established a comprehensive reporting network system for infectious diseases and public health emergencies. With the constant development of molecular biology, bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, and other identification and analysis technologies, along with the increasing demands for early warning thresholds, information, and techniques, strengthening early monitoring and warning capabilities has become a top priority for enhancing the public health system. A total of 31 experts, based on the "One Health" concept and through analysis of the current situation, have suggested the fourth-generation comprehensive surveillance system targeting key infectious diseases (39 notifiable diseases and emerging infectious diseases). This surveillance system aims to systematically monitor the epidemiology and pathogenics of major disease hosts such as humans, animals, and vectors, along with the associated environmental pathogens. By integrating factors influencing epidemic spread and risk assessment elements, the surveillance system aims to detect, predict, and provide early warnings for the occurrence, development, variation, and spread of new and key infectious diseases. Moreover, we are attempting to build an organizational management system for comprehensive infectious disease monitoring based on the fourth-generation surveillance system, along with a data-integrated monitoring and early warning platform and an intensive pathogen detection technology system. This series of considerations, based on systematic and comprehensive monitoring across multiple sectors, dimensions, factors, and pathogens, is supported by data integration and connectivity. It provides an opportunity for collaboration in various fields and relies on interdisciplinary application to enhance the comprehensive monitoring, prediction, and early warning capabilities for the next generation of infectious diseases surveillance. This serves as a reference for infectious disease prevention and control and related organizations.
