  • Covid-19—Zoonosis or Emerging Infectious Disease

    Open AccessNajmul Haider, Peregrine Rothman-Ostrow et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2020

    The World Health Organization defines a zoonosis as any infection naturally transmissible from vertebrate animals to humans. The pandemic of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 has been classified as a zoonotic disease, however, no animal reservoir has yet been found, so this classification is premature. We propose that COVID-19 should instead be classified an “ emerging infectious disease (EID) of probable animal origin .” To exp…

  • Global health security

    Open AccessDavid L Heymann, Lincoln Chen et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2015

    The Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa was unprecedented in both its scale and impact. Out of this human calamity has come renewed attention to global health security--its definition, meaning, and the practical implications for programmes and policy. For example, how does a government begin to strengthen its core public health capacities, as demanded by the International Health Regulations? What counts as a global health security concern…

  • Will Ebola change the game? Ten essential reforms before the next pandemic. The report of the Harvard-LSHTM Independent Panel on the Global Response to Ebola

    Open AccessSuerie Moon, Devi Sridhar et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2015

    The west African Ebola epidemic that began in 2013 exposed deep inadequacies in the national and international institutions responsible for protecting the public from the far-reaching human, social, economic, and political consequences of infectious disease outbreaks. The Ebola epidemic raised a crucial question: what reforms are needed to mend the fragile global system for outbreak prevention and response, rebuild confidence, and prevent future …

  • Mainstreaming One Health

    Open AccessJakob Zinsstag, J S Mackenzie et al.ARTICLEEcoHealth2012

    The term ‘One Medicine ’ was coined by Schwabe (1984) and focuses attention on the commonality of human and animal health. The underlying concept is traceable to the late nineteenth century, in contributions of the German pathologist and architect of social medicine Rudolf Vir-chow (Saunders 2000; Zinsstag and Weiss 2001). Schwabe states that there is no difference in paradigm between hu-man and veterinary medicine and that both medicines have th…

  • Can We Capitalize on the Virtues of Vaccines? Insights from the Polio Eradication Initiative

    R Bruce Aylward, David L HeymannARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2005Referencias: 12

    Twenty-five years after the eradication of smallpox, the ongoing effort to eradicate poliomyelitis has grown into the largest international health initiative ever undertaken. By 2004, however, the polio eradication effort was threatened by a challenge regularly faced by public health policymakers everywhere—misperception about the benefits and risks of vaccines. The propagation of false rumors about oral poliovirus vaccine safety led to the reinf…
