Emerging infectious diseases are on the rise across the world and represent a significant threat to human, livestock, and wildlife health; as seen with the current pandemic, one virus from one country can spread across the world, causing unprecedented effects on human health and livelihoods. It is critical that countries where persistent infectious diseases are endemic, such as Chad, have the capacity not only to deal with such diseases but also to detect and rapidly respond to emergent diseases of pandemic potential. This project will develop a One Health bio surveillance system in Chad to track zoonoses of concern for human and animal health.
