Frequency of all EID events has significantly increasedsince 1940, reaching a peak in 1980-1990
61% of EID events are caused by the transmission from animals (zoonoses)
74% of these from wildlife.

Need more collaboration with MoA, Vet services, NGOs working in conservation for surveillance of Animal outbreak that precede human cases (Ebola, Yellow Fever, Nipah Hendra)Several RVF Alerts send to countries and Regions but only 2 RVF outbreaks were "predicted" (2003 and 2006)– Some countries take appropriates measures, prepare
outbreak response team and vector control program– detection of others Arboviruses outbreaks (dengue, West Nile,
Yellow Fever)– Need for a more systematic way of sharing forecasting maps
with countries (web site)
Develop models for other diseases (CCHF, Hantavirus)
Is forecasting helping detection ?

EIDs Alert and Surveillance PerspectivesPerspectives
● Surveillance of zoonotic emerging diseases is improving
● Intensified collaboration with animal disease sector: domestic and wildlife● GLEWS with FAO and OIE● Formal collaboration with wildlife disease experts● Support EID vector borne network (bats, rats, primates,
entomology)● Connect the different Lab networks
● Improve forecasting models based on environment and meteorological data

General strategy for controlling outbreak
Financessalaries
MediaInformation
16
● Establish a co-ordination mechanism for response
● Inform the public / health education / social mobilizationRestrict practices that promote transmission and source
infection
● Establish isolation ward / Safe and Humane case managementConduct safe funerals that allow the process of mourning
● Establish an active surveillance system Identification of cases and follow up of their contacts during
the incubation period (prophylaxis if available, isolate if ill). Stop transmission chains and stop source infection.
● Psychosocial support (patients, families, HCW).
● Recommendations on travel and trade
General strategy for controlling outbreak
Outbreak response : evaluate emergenceevaluate emergence
● Need to understand the disease in human: ● epidemiological patterns (CFR, human to human transmission,
transmission patterns, behavior risk) ● Improve clinical data collection (diagnosis, biochemistry, hematology,
autopsy, etc..) to establish the effectiveness of some treatmentmeasures and to progress in our knowledge on pathogenesis and to be ready when new countermeasures come (antiviral and vaccines)
● Social context (community, medical anthropology,…)
● Need to understand disease in animal that precede human infection● Occupation risk● Coordinated human and animal health surveillance● Ecological studies

Laboratory: NAMRU-3 was deployed in Kosti (PCR) for 5 days and in Khartoum (IgM by ELISA) for 7 days. NAMRU-3 confirmed 16/47 human cases in Kosti and Khartoum labs.
19
Ebola HF outbreak response, Mweka, DRC.
Outbreak control : Laboratory
● Diagnostic field laboratory essential (AI, MPX, large outbreaks, concomitant measles/Ebola, VZV/MPX, help link the lab with the field…)
● Field Labs doing Animal and Human tests
● Biochemistry + Hematology field lab for better care of patients
● Non-invasive methods of diagnostic
● Blood bank for future testing development
● WHO CC work is crucial, regional approach, international collaboration.
20
Outbreak control : Laboratory
● Promote post mortem for acquiring better knowledge in pathogenesis and pathology of emerging diseases
Outbreak control : Social MobilizationSocial Mobilization
● For many EID the only effective control measure is the Prevention
● COMBI = Communication for Behavioral Impact Precise and clear objectives for behavior changeAdministrative mobilization/public relation / advocacy : intense collaboration with administrative, civil and military local authorities.Interpersonal communication/counselling : Psycho-social aid to the families (food, discussions, condolences, visits, coffins, supplies)Community mobilization; Advertising; Point-of-Service Promotion
● Importance of the social psychology in sanitary interventions● Essential contributions of the medical anthropology to
understand the populations and to adapt the behavior of the medical teams
● Discussion with/Help from traditional medicine

EID general conclusion (1)
● EID outbreak detection is better than in the past but could be improve● To intensify collaboration between wildlife, domestic
animals and human health sectors● To improve forecasting models
● EID outbreak response quality need to improve to ensure acceptance by the affected populations (relational behavior with the patients, respect of the local culture and beliefs, respect of funeral customs, etc…).
22
EID general conclusion (2)
● The absence of effective therapies or vaccines for EIDs severely limits monitoring activities and containment operations.
● Human new vaccines and new “treatments”●may change the situation ● improve the perception of the medical profession
in areas of the world where modern medicine is often lacking.
● New animal vaccines may prevent human infection or decrease human exposure
EID general conclusion (3)
● Human and animal health authorities, including OIE FAO and WHO, should have a common and coordinated strategy to forecast, detect and control outbreak of emerging diseases
● Need for common SOPs for District Surveillance Officers and Vets to control selected EID (e.g. RVF) from forecasting to outbreak containment with an FAO OIE WHO agreed strategy: One Message, "all on the same page".
● Need for preparedness and occupation health guidelines (e.g. how to protect slaughtering house personnel in different technology settings, farmers, hunters, …)
23
EID general conclusion (4)
● Today's technologies can help to better detect, manage and contain the international spread of Emerging zoonotic diseases
➡NOT Enough
● Key points remain high level governments commitment and international collaboration.
EID general conclusion (5)
● OIE/FAO reporting system an WHO IHR 2005 support this mechanism and will help the reinforcement the countries capacities in outbreak alert and response
● 3 Worlds = 1 Health Need to intensify collaboration between wildlife, domestic animals and human health sectors at country level and internationally
