Abstract

The emergence of new zoonotic diseases remains virtually impossible to predict, but exposure to wildlife, abundant animal populations and the increasing destruction of natural habitats make them certain. Should a zoonotic outbreak emerge in Africa with pandemic potential, what are the continent’s strategies to prepare itself and the world? The first post in a new series explores the networks strengthening communication and trust between governments, local communities, health workers and scientists.
