Early Detection of Emerging Zoonotic Diseases with Animal Morbidity and Mortality Monitoring

摘要: Diseases transmitted between animals and people have made up more than 50% of emerging infectious diseases in humans over the last 60 years continued to arise recent months. Yet, public health animal disease surveillance programs continue operate independently. Here, we assessed whether zoonotic pathogens (n = 143) are known cause morbidity or mortality their host if so, they were first detected with an morbidity/mortality event. We show that although sick dead often associated these (52%), only 9% from event prior concurrent signs illness humans. propose reporting program will improve detection should be essential component early warning systems for diseases. With use widespread low-cost technology, such a could engage both professionals easily tested further incorporated as part efforts by officials.
