Background: Existing vs. New Public Health Threats
Existing Public Health Threats
Examples
New Public Health Threats
Affected
Areas
HIV/AIDS, TB, malaria, preventable pH1N1, H5N1, and H7N9 influenza;
SARS and MERS coronavirus;
childhood diseases, ARIs, DDs,
Nipah virus
NTDs, under-nutrition, chronic
diseases
very low (<1000 cases annually),
high (millions of cases annually)
but case fatality rates 10-70%
often geographically contained
geographically dispersed
(country, sub-region)
(global, regional)
Diagnostics

Interventions

Disease burden
Budget, staffing, insufficient in many countries to go
to scale; substantial international/
training,
donor assistance for scale-up
commodities
Emerging Threats Program
insufficient in many countries to
gather evidence; very limited
international/donor assistance
Challenge: Mobilizing Resources for New Threats
• Relatively low incidence
• Immediate health threats
higher priority than potential
future threats
• Frequent warnings of new
threats met with skepticism
Difficult to mobilize resources
(country level and international/donor level) to:
• gather evidence
• develop/distribute diagnostics
• respond while problem still
manageable
The sky is
falling !
Emerging Threats Program
Challenges: Understanding New Threats
• Standard case definitions
and reporting procedures
usually lacking
• Health care staff and
communities generally not
sensitized to signs and
symptoms
• Difficult to determine risk
factors with only tens or
hundreds of cases spread
out over several years
Emerging Threats Program
• Very difficult to design
interventions
• Interventions will most
likely be non-biomedical
(e.g. policy, behavioral)
-
Unless current medicines/
vaccines are effective,
generally not enough time to
develop new
medicines/vaccines
-
Even if current medicines/
vaccines are effective,
generally not sufficient
quantities for need,
especially for a pandemic

Gathering Evidence on New Public Health Threats
Two parallel approaches
1. Study past pandemics (very rare; only 7 since 1900)
2. Study emerging public health threats (rare, but hundreds of
events since 1940s)
Key questions include:
• Where, how did they start?
• What impact did they have?
• Why were these microbes successful?
• What interventions (if any) worked?

Observations:
• Origin: Asia (4), Africa (1), Americas (1), unknown (1)
• Source: animals (6), environment (1)
• Type of microbe: virus (6), bacteria (1)
• Direct human-to-human transmission (6)
• Some acute (5), others protracted (2)
• Potential for very high mortality
• Low mortality does not equal low economic impact
• Impact can vary considerably across countries**
• Only one (SARS) was contained by (non-biomedical) interventions***
Emerging Threats Program
Source: WHO; * since 1800. ** e.g. average mortality rate for
1918 flu ranged from 0.2%-20% in part because of income level;
*** infection prevention and control in hospitals
Observations on Other Emerging Public Health Threats
• Many caused by viruses from animals such as bats,
rodents, primates*^; livestock may amplify viruses
• Disease spillover associated with all regions, but
some areas are “hot spots” due to favorable
conditions such as specific human activities*
•
Diseases emerging from wildlife
New diseases can have significant impact**
mortality usually low, but economic impact can be significant,
e.g. >$200 billion in direct and indirect costs over past decade
Diseases emerging from livestock
• Most human infections due to animal-to-human transmission; some
human-to-human transmission possible, but not efficient
• Cross-sectoral approaches can improve detection/response
• In some cases, non-biomedical interventions (changes in farming and
livestock marketing; infection prevention and control in hospitals) have
reduced amplification/spread among animals and among people

some public health
threats, the “pump
handle” may be an
animal
Sources: FAO, OIE, WHO; * = data not complete
What is the Future Forecast for New Threats?
• Spillover of animal diseases into human populations
expected to continue; many diseases benign, some serious
• Rates of spillover, amplification, and spread will increase
over time since drivers (human and animal population size
and density, land use change, etc.) will likely continue to
increase
• However, with improved interventions and investments in
their proper application, rates of spillover, amplification,
and spread could be decreased
• Existing interventions (farm/market biosecurity; infection prevention
and control in hospitals) need wider application
• Need other complementary interventions, e.g. limit spillover of
diseases from wildlife to people

First North America H5N1 bird flu death confirmed in Canada
8 January 2014 Last updated at 17:35 ET
BBC
Canadian health officials have confirmed the first known fatal case of the
H5N1 avian influenza strain in North America. Canadian Health Minister
Rona Ambrose said the deceased person was an Alberta resident who had
recently travelled to Beijing.
Calling the death an "isolated case", Ms Ambrose said the risk to the
general population was low. Ten people have died in Alberta this season
from swine flu, or H1N1. H5N1 infects the lower respiratory tract deep in
the lung, where it can cause deadly pneumonia.
In the latest incident, the infected person first showed symptoms of the
flu on an Air Canada flight from Beijing to Vancouver on 27 December,
officials said. The passenger continued on to Edmonton and on 1 January
was admitted to hospital where they died two days later.
Emerging Threats Program
Next Steps for Addressing New Public Health Threats
• Strengthen developing country protocols, platforms,
and capacities for cross-sectoral, rapid disease
detection/response  these will be used for
responding to new threats
• Understand which public health threats are most
likely to spillover from animals to people
• Investigate (in advance) mechanisms for spillover of
animal disease to people
• Develop interventions and response plans, monitor,
and revise as needed

Because of the role of animals in the spillover and

prevention, surveillance, detection, response and
research efforts along with training need to operate
in multiple sectors

Existing One Health Capacity Limited
• Limited capacity for dealing with old and new disease
threats for both animals and people:
 Limitations in disease detection/response capacity, health care services,
data for policy, staff, budgets
 Insufficient stockpile of biomedical measures (e.g. vaccines, medicines)
• Limited capacity to predict disease emergence
 Some understanding on where, how, and why diseases emerge, but
more specificity needed for prevention and containment
• Lack of effective coordination
 across society (e.g. government, military, civil society, private sector)
 across sectors (e.g. public health, animal health, environment)

“To stop disease that spreads across borders, we must strengthen our systems of
public health…. And we must come together to prevent, detect, and fight every
kind of biological danger – whether it is a pandemic like H1N1, a terrorist threat,
or a treatable disease.
--President Obama, UNGA, September 22, 2011
• White House Global Health Security Vision – “to
prevent, detect, and respond to biological threats,
regardless of cause”
• Provides a new and important strategic framework for
“re-visioning” our rationale for action and opportunities for
broadening our partnerships
Emerging Threats Program
USAID Goal Under Global Health Security
As the “Development” arm of the USG Global
Health Security Framework, USAID will launch its
Emerging Pandemic Threats Program (ver. 2) in
October 2014 to:
mitigate the impact of novel high consequence pathogens arising
from animals through a suite of “One Health” investments
targeted at the animal-human interface that enable
•
early detection of new disease threats*;
•
effective control through enhanced national-level preparedness*;
•
reduction of risk of disease emergence by minimizing practices
and behaviors that trigger spillover and spread of new pathogens*
Emerging Threats Program
* Building on developing-country programs to address
infectious diseases in animals and people.
