SUMMARY:Emerging Viral Diseases: The "One Health" Connection
DESCRIPTION:From the meeting site: \nViruses have caused some of the most dramatic and deadly disease pandemics in human history. A highly contagious disease caused by the variola virus\, smallpox plagued mankind since 10\,000 BC. In the 20th century alone smallpox killed between 300-500 million people before its eradication in 1980. The 1918-1919 “Spanish Flu” pandemic infected roughly one-third of the world’s human population causing an estimated 50-100 million deaths. In 2009\, a novel swine-origin H1N1 strain of influenza A virus rapidly spread to over 213 countries causing the first declared pandemic of the 21st century. \nIn the past half century\, a number of deadly zoonotic disease outbreaks caused by novel viruses — Nipah virus in Malaysia\, Hendra virus in Australia\, Hantavirus in the United States\, Ebola virus in Africa\, SARS and MERS CoV among others — have underscored the urgency of understanding factors influencing viral disease emergence and spread. \nOn March 18th and 19th\, 2014\, the Institute of Medicine’s Forum on Microbial Threats will host a public workshop to explore factors driving the appearance\, establishment\, and spread of emerging\, reemerging and novel viral diseases; the global health and economic impacts of recently emerging and novel viral diseases in humans; and\, the scientific and policy approaches to improving domestic and international capacity to detect and respond to global outbreaks of infectious disease. \nTwitterFacebookPress ThisLinkedInEmailMorePrintRedditWhatsAppTumblrPocketPinterestLike this:Like Loading...\n\n	Related\n
