The Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Prevention and Control of Emerging Infectious Disease (ELC) Program is a CDC funded program that provides financial support to the local jurisdictions throughout the state of Nevada to detect, prevent, and respond to emerging infectious disease. The Nevada ELC program is comprised of many projects, including cross-cutting epidemiology and laboratory capacity, vaccine-preventable and respiratory diseases, and vector-borne diseases, to name a few.
