In recent years, novel methods have been developed to improve the early detection of exotic, new and reemerging diseases. These approaches, which are mainly risk‐based, have allowed to characterise better the patterns of disease presence and spread, as well as the populations and areas at higher risk, in order to prioritise surveillance and optimise resources. The aim of this review was to evaluate recent progress regarding novel early detection methods that could improve sensitivity and cost‐effectiveness while respecting the legal requirements that apply to conventional surveillance methods
