Keynote: J Vaccines Vaccin

Abstract:

E merging Infectious Diseases (EIDs) are those new, reemerging or drug-resistant infections whose incidents in people have increased in recent years or threaten to increase in the near future. Zoonotic diseases are those diseases that can be transmit ted from animals to humans or from humans to humans. As much as 75% of all emerging human infectious diseases are zoonotic. Nonetheless, human and veterinary health professionals fail to acknowledge and understand the interconnectedness of human and animal health. In my presentation, I intend to explain this interconnectedness and encourage actions to improve international, interdisciplinary discussion to improve the treatment and containment of the diseases posing worldwide health threats. Addition ally, I will explain the global conditions that foster the emergence of new infectious agents
