Detection of emerging zoonotic pathogens: An integrated One Health approach
Brian H. Bird and Jonna A.K. Mazet
This review explores the factors that lead to the emergence of zoonotic pathogens and discusses the current and evolving methods used to detect pathogens, especially in resource-limited settings.
Key Lessons
- Engaging with and building trust between local governments, community leaders, and scientists to help disseminate public health messaging to at-risk communities is an important step toward integrating a One Health approach
- A successful One Health approach reduces individual exposure to pathogens and ensures a lasting zoonotic disease surveillance system
