Activity Title: Emerging Infectious Diseases Preparedness – Looking Through the One Health Lens
Release Date: November 18, 2020
Estimated Time to Complete Activity: 70 minutes
Statement of Need:
Most high-impact emerging diseases are caused by zoonotic viruses. They emerge through a complex interaction of socio-economic and environmental drivers acting on contact networks among wildlife, livestock and people. Over the past 20 years EcoHealth Alliance has conducted field studies and ecological analyses to trace back the origins of specific diseases, estimate viral diversity in wildlife reservoirs, and identify the geographical regions and global changes most likely to produce pandemics. Using examples from Nipah virus, SARS coronavirus and others, I will show how understanding emerging disease ecology can provide answers to critical questions for emerging viruses, including:
- Where will the next emerging virus originate?
- What are the key causes of disease emergence?
- Which reservoir species will the next EID likely emerge from?
- How many unknown viruses do these species harbor, and how many can infect us?
- Can we predict and prevent emergence, and how much will it cost?
Reducing the risk of new emerging diseases is a key scientific challenge that will require global cooperation because novel viruses mainly originate in tropical regions, but have the highest economic impact on richer, rapidly developing countries in the North. Despite the exponential increase in EID threats, our work shows that cooperative strategies to combat these threats will provide significant return-on-investment as well as public health benefits.

Upon completion of this module, participants should be able to:
- Understand how emerging disease ecology can provide answers to critical questions for emerging viruses
- Discuss the need for global cooperation to reduce the risk of new emerging diseases because novel viruses mainly originate in tropical regions, but have the highest economic impact on richer, rapidly developing countries in the North
- Discuss how cooperative strategies to combat EID threats will provide significant return-on-investment as well as public health benefits
- Describe how climate change is a potent driver of migration
- Discuss how trends, alongside the emergence of “hotspots” of climate in- and climate out-migration, will have major implications for climate-sensitive sectors and for the adequacy of urban infrastructure and social support systems, including health systems
- Explain how climate change affects the health and safety of persons directly through factors such as heat stress, water-borne diseases, malnutrition and stunting
- Understand the need for urgent and concrete climate and development focused action.
The target audience for this module is physicians, nurses, public health officials, researchers, immunization officers, and other health professionals.
