Research Question
- Mitigate the potential for influenza pandemics from animal origins
Research Gaps and Challenges
- Potential of zoonotic/reverse zoonotic impact of swine, equine and companion animals influenza
- Risk of feeding or food/preparing infected material to human and livestock
Solution Routes
- Identification of critical reservoir species at the human interface
- Epidemiological studies
- Studies of molecular determinants of human adaptation
- Determine viral and host factors that contribute to the successful transmission of swine influenza virus to other species
- Consistent, longitudinal virological surveillance of human populations exposed to animal hosts
- Identify high-reassortment strains could improve pandemic preparedness or reveal new treatments
Dependencies
- Consistent, longitudinal virological surveillance of human populations exposed to animal hosts
