The first phase of PREDICT: Surveillance for emerging infectious zoonotic diseases of wildlife origin (2009-2014)

摘要

Purpose: Based on the premise that the majority of emerging infectious zoonotic diseases originate in wildlife species, the United States Agency for International Development created the Emerging Pandemic Threats Program to increase capacity in the developing world to detect and respond to emerging threats. A coalition of organizations led by the University of California at Davis, and including EcoHealth Alliance, Wildlife Conservation Society, Metabiota Inc., and the Smithsonian Institution, implemented the first phase of PREDICT (2009-2014), the component of the program tasked with developing the capacity for early detection of these emerging threats.
