The Severe Acute Respiratory Infections network (SARInet) is a regional collaboration of professionals within hospitals, laboratories, and associated organizations who participate in SARI surveillance in the Americas. SARInet consists of diverse individuals, countries, and organizations that are involved with SARI surveillance. Each plays an important role in helping to improve the SARInet collaboration and enhance understanding of the epidemiology of influenza and other respiratory viruses (ORV).
