TLDR
It is considered that holistic, One Health approaches to the management and mitigation of the risks of emerging infectious diseases have the greatest chance of success.Abstract:
Infectious diseases affect people, domestic animals and wildlife alike, with many pathogens being able to infect multiple species Fifty years ago, following the wide-scale manufacture and use of antibiotics and vaccines, it seemed that the battle against infections was being won for the human population Since then, however, and in addition to increasing antimicrobial resistance among bacterial pathogens, there has been an increase in the emergence of, mostly viral, zoonotic diseases from wildlife, sometimes causing fatal outbreaks of epidemic proportions Concurrently, infectious disease has been identified as an increasing threat to wildlife conservation A synthesis published in 2000 showed common anthropogenic drivers of disease threats to biodiversity and human health, including encroachment and destruction of wildlife habitat and the human-assisted spread of pathogens Almost two decades later, the situation has not changed and, despite improved knowledge of the underlying causes, little has been done at the policy level to address these threats For the sake of public health and wellbeing, human-kind needs to work better to conserve nature and preserve the ecosystem services, including disease regulation, that biodiversity provides while also understanding and mitigating activities which lead to disease emergence We consider that holistic, One Health approaches to the management and mitigation of the risks of emerging infectious diseases have the greatest chance of successThis article is part of the themed issue 'One Health for a changing world: zoonoses, ecosystems and human well-being'read more

TL;DR: This review has highlighted COVID-19, a newly emerging zoonotic disease of likely bat origin that has affected millions of humans along with devastating global consequences and the implementation of One Health measures is highly recommended for the effective prevention and control of possible zoonosis.

TL;DR: Overcoming host restriction of two Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)-like bat CoVs using exogenous protease treatment demonstrates that proteolytic cleavage is the primary barrier to infection for a subset of zoonotic coronaviruses.

The impact of the built environment on health behaviours and disease transmission in social systems.
TL;DR: This paper reviews the ways that the built environment affects both the prevention and the containment of chronic and infectious disease and attempts to identify parallels and gaps between the study of humans and animals that can be capitalized on to advance the scope and perspective of research.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Ecological Framework for Modeling the Geography of Disease Transmission
TL;DR: A theoretical framework based on the biological properties of both hosts and parasites is proposed to produce reliable outputs resembling disease system distributions and will help the field of disease ecology and applications of biogeography in the epidemiology of infectious diseases.

TL;DR: It is concluded that global resources to counter disease emergence are poorly allocated, with the majority of the scientific and surveillance effort focused on countries from where the next important EID is least likely to originate.

Emerging Infectious Diseases of Wildlife-- Threats to Biodiversity and Human Health
TL;DR: These phenomena have two major biological implications: many wildlife species are reservoirs of pathogens that threaten domestic animal and human health; second, wildlife EIDs pose a substantial threat to the conservation of global biodiversity.

Risk factors for human disease emergence.
TL;DR: This study represents the first quantitative analysis identifying risk factors for human disease emergence, with protozoa and viruses particularly likely to emerge, and helminths particularly unlikely to do so, irrespective of their zoonotic status.

TL;DR: Experimental data support the conclusion that cutaneous chytridiomycosis is a fatal disease of anurans, and it is hypothesize that it is the proximate cause of these recent amphibian declines.

TL;DR: A dramatic global increase in the severity of coral bleaching in 1997-98 is coincident with high El Niño temperatures, which climate-mediated, physiological stresses may compromise host resistance and increase frequency of opportunistic diseases.
