E18 - [IN-PERSON ONLY] Global Disease Surveillance: What We've Learned from COVID‐19
Tuesday, December 5, 2023
4:00 PM – 5:00 PM ET
Location: Room 204C
This session is being held in-person only at PRIMR23. It will not be recorded for on-demand access or for the PRIMR23/SBER23 Virtual Meeting.
Zoonotic disease transmission is a serious concern, and with major branches of the US government still at odds about the origin of the SARS-CoV2 virus (nature or lab), what can be done on a local basis to increase the global odds of catching the next 'superbug' or deadly virus before it kills millions of nonhuman animals or humans? This session will highlight recent disease outbreaks and how nonhuman animal researchers, especially individual nonhuman animal resource programs, can contribute to monitor disease outbreak around the world.
Learning Objectives:
Discuss recent zoonotic disease outbreaks (other than COVID-19)
Understand how potential zoonotic diseases are monitored in wild populations and how zoonotic disease outbreaks are identified when they occur
Explain contributions of individual animal resource programs to detecting and responding to zoonotic disease outbreaks
